Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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
The morphological and kinetical features of the so-called m-chromosomes in dragonflies are reviewed. The relative size of the m-chromosomes varies in some species, but not in all. It has been demonstrated that the size is peculiar, in some dragonflies, for populations originating from different portions of the species range, and therefore it could be used to advantage in the taxonomy of infraspecific forms. The dragonfly m-chromosomes are considered as fragments of normal autosomes. The break can take place at any time, at any place in the holokinetic chromosome, and in any geographic population, therefore the variation in size of the m-chromosome is only accidental and has no chorogeographic implications. The chorogeographic hypothesis of Reinig (1938, 1939), which has been widely promoted by some distinguished odonatologists, has no connection with the size trend of the m-chromosomes. Its general validity for the determination of the body size of dragonflies is likewise rejected. © 1968 Martinus Nijhoff.
