Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00787 (-0.13511 - 0.15085), b=3.06 (2.98 - 3.14), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.2 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tmax=6; k=0.23-0.78).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (22 of 100) .
