Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.8 ±0.6 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.

Prior r = 0.31, 2 SD range = 0.15 - 0.67, log(r) = -1.17, SD log(r) = 0.38, Based on: 5 tgen, 1 tmax, 3 Fec records
Vulnerability (Ref.
