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=0.01050 (-0.14141 - 0.16241), b=3.02658 (2.94414 - 3.10903), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278):  3.4   ±0.55 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 69278):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Moderate to high vulnerability (55 of 100) .
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
