Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00770 - 0.05171), b=3.01 (2.78 - 3.24), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 4.0 ±0.28 se; Based on food items.
Resilience (Ref.
69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Assuming tm=1).
Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (32 of 100) .
