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
Courtship and spawning are described for Pomacanthus imperator and 4 Centropyge spp. at Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands, observed from 15 August to 15 September, 1981. In all species, courtship and spawning occur at dusk, continue throughout most of the lunar month, are preceded by male display to the female, and culminate in the pair's shedding gametes into the water column. The species differ in ascent height, details of courtship behavior, spawning location relative to prominent reef topography and degree and type of sexual dichromatism. Social organization in all species appears based on male defense of harems of 2 to 5 females. Observed behavior is compared to that of confamilials, and discussed relative to proposed theories concerning lunar periodicity of spawning activity, sexual dichromatism and the adaptive significance of spawning ascent behavior. © 1982 Springer-Verlag.
