Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
This chapter presents an overview of the role of Asian honeybees in non-agricultural situations. The medium and large Apis species concentrate on the most rewarding resources, recruiting rapidly and in large numbers to mass-flowering trees or large stands of smaller plants. In contrast, the small species are rarely reported as the dominant visitors to wild plants. Asian honeybees visit mostly pale-coloured flowers with easily accessible nectar and/or pollen, and obtain a significant proportion of floral resources in circumstances that make pollination improbable or impossible. Overall, honeybees appear to be relatively unimportant as pollinators in most Asian forests, except for the tropical rainforest canopy, where A. dorsata in particular is a major pollinator of mass-following species, especially those that do not flower every year. Honeybees are relatively more important in deforested areas and on crops. Apis dorsata appears to have a unique and irreplaceable role in the ecology of tropical Asia but is currently threatened by deforestation and honey-hunters.
