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
Mark and recapture experiments were used to estimate the size-at-age relationship of the coral-eating gastropod Drupella cornus at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. Animals 15 mm long increased in length by 5.2 mm in six months at a site in an early stage of an outbreak, but by only 3.8 mm at a site within an established outbreak. Snails larger than 35 mm grew very little. Based on observed growth rates fitted to a Richards function growth equation, snails 28 mm long judged to be reproductively mature would be 2.5 to 3.5 years old, suggesting that local outbreaks represent no more than one or two generations of recruits. Indirect evidence indicates that growth is more rapid in the earlier than in later stages of outbreaking populations. The growth and timing of life-history transitions of D. cornus are not unusual among other muricid species. © 1994 Springer-Verlag.
