Description: 
An estimate of the size of the organism with four categories: 1mm, 10mm, 100mm, and 1000mm. Measurements are rounded to the nearest estimate value. Note: the measurement used to express body size varies within taxonomic groups. For example, some disciplines measure diameter, others carapace length, total body length or wing span. Also body size can vary with gender and life stage. This category is the same as Estimated Maximum Body Size (mm) in sFDVent
