Estimates of some properties based on empirical models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01141 (-0.12224 - 0.14507), b=2.98 (2.90 - 3.06), based on LWR estimates for species & genus-BS (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic Level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.0   ±0.39 se; Based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 69278 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (tmax=11). Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  High to very high vulnerability (65 of 100) . Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Unknown .
