Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00056 (-0.18532 - 0.18645), b=3.11 (3.01 - 3.21), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.50 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (21 of 100) .
