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
Juveniles of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis that had resulted from a large number of pair matings were examined at six polymorphic enzyme loci. In four loci, the overall number of heterozygotes was significantly less than expected from the parental genotypes. The degree of deviation from expectation varied considerably among families, and families which shared the same male parent tended to show similar degrees of deviation. Inbreeding and population mixture, the two most cited explanations of heterozygote deficiency (a phenomenon commonly observed in populations of marine bivalves), do not apply in the case of pair-matings, and the null allele hypothesis is inconsistent with the data. These observations suggest that genotype-dependent larval mortality constitutes the most probable cause of this phenomenon. © 1985 Springer-Verlag.
