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
Since 2004, when the Sirex woodwasp, Sirex noctilio, was first discovered in North America, there have been intensive efforts to survey and determine the area infested and to assess management options. In this chapter we review the history of survey efforts in Canada and the USA from 2005 to 2009 and the challenges facing these surveys. Next we describe the significant differences between North America and the Southern Hemisphere (where this insect is a serious pest) in forest types, natural disturbance regimes, competing insects and disease, and forest management methods and how they affect surveys and management. We review the logistical issues of landscape and forest diversity, ownership, and access that affect the implementation of surveys, and biological issues of native siricids and other associated insects and diseases that complicate the use of trap trees and traps. We discuss the challenges of using silviculture and biological methods in North America to control S. noctilio. We conclude that management of S. noctilio will not be easy and must be multifaceted. The diversity, heterogeneity and complexity of North America’s natural forests in terms of natural enemies and competing insects and diseases, may be a problem for survey efforts, but also a solution for management. Finally, the situation in North America is unique, allowing many interesting questions on invasion biology, community ecology, and management of an invasive species in native pine communities to be addressed.
