Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Article Description
Recently formed beaver-ponds surrounding an abandoned copper-nickel ore roast yard near Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, were influenced by highly acidic and heavy-metal contaminated effluent. Fish, including Culaea inconstans, Phoxinus neogaeus, Phoxinus eos, and Pimephales promelas, were found in the ponds upstream of the roast yard only. Macroinvertebrate taxon richness and diversity were greater in the upstream ponds than in the downstream ponds. Acid intolerant taxa, including Mollusca and Hyalella azteca, were found upstream only; acid tolerant taxa, including Enallagma and Ischnura (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) were found in the downstream ponds. One taxon, a species of Chironomus, was especially tolerant of both acid and metal stresses, and was the only invertebrate taxon found in the pond located directly on the roast yard itself. We conclude that long-abandoned mining and refining sites can continue to have a marked effect on aquatic communities. © 1994 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
