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
Spermiogenesis in the polychaete species Diurodrilus subterraneus may be divided into six stages. These stages, as well as the ultrastructure of the mature spermatozoa, are described based on TEM studies. The spermatozoa are unusual in having a very large acrosome followed by a region containing the nucleus and several ovoid mitochondria. A secondary acrosomal membrane forms a manchette around the nucleus and mitochondria. In this region, the plasma membrane is modified, with many small, mushroom-shaped cytoplasmic processes, each including filaments. The flagellum may be divided into three sequential regions; the longest, middle one is covered by a helically arranged mucous coat. Spermatozoa of the type described here are unknown among polychaetes but show certain superficial resemblances to those in oligochaetes. The resemblance of the mushroom-shaped bodies to spermatozoal microvilli in certain gnathostomulids is discussed. The phylogenetic relationships of Diurodrilidae are considered on the basis of this new information. © 1995 Springer-Verlag.
