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
The green plants and insects represent the two dominant groups of living organisms on Earth. The green plants occupy the most capacious segment among all biological organisms, whereas the insects are the most specious group. These two 'empires' are interconnected as well as interdependent. Green plants are the primary producers of food, and all animals being heterotrophs depend directly or indirectly on plant-produced food. In turn, nearly three fourths of all angiosperms require the services of insect pollinators. The entomophilic flowering plants and their insect pollinators thus represent the most evident and widely applicable example of mutualism among living organisms. But a wide variety of phytophagous insects also flourishes, diversifies and sustains on these plants. Consequently, the plants have evolved a dizzying array of morphological and biochemical (constitutive as well as induced) barriers for protection against insects and other herbivores. Evolutionary interactions between plants and insects may have contributed to the increased biodiversity and success of both these groups. The study of these interrelationships, as outlined in this chapter, is of great practical significance for the future agricultural production. The development of pest-resistant cultivars of crop plants and progress in integrated pest management both require an intricate understanding of insect-plant relationships State-of-the-art techniques such as mutant analysis, metabolomics, RNAi and proteomics developed during the last three decades have been instrumental in providing improved insight into these interrelationships.
