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
Animal behavior has emerged as a multi and interdisci-plinary science, encompassing such sciences as physiol-ogy, pathology, immunology, endocrinology, ecology, genetics, and neuroscience. Neuroethology merges into cellular biochemistry, physiology, and molecular genetics and also at the other end, the study of animal groups extends from the evolutionary theory to social ecology. External events as well as genetic factors affect the way the nervous system develops and ultimately the way the individual behaves later on as an adult. In most animals, behavior patterns reflect the complexity and functional organization of the nervous system. Behavior is a complex response mediated by the nervous system and is modulated by the endocrine system. The behavior of animals has been broadly classified and studied exten-sively under categories such as learning, feeding, sexual, maternal, and social behaviors. Understanding in depth these various types of animal behavior can help the researchers to identify various indicators which could serve as potential guidelines for assessing their well-being. Behavior is closely related to the welfare of the animal. Hence, behavioral studies help the veterinarians and animal scientists to identify the cause of any abnormal behavior and address it. Also as many clinical problems, animal training methods have a behavioral component, understanding the physiological basis of behavior will help the veterinarians and animal handlers to advocate better approaches towards the animals.
