Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00767 (-0.23337 - 0.24871), b=3.04 (2.91 - 3.16), based on LWR estimates for this family-BS (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 4.3 ±0.7 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Moderate to high vulnerability (52 of 100) .
