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
It is generally difficult to identify possible effects of selection at a specific locus because of the heterogeneity of the genetic background. Geographical patterns of Est-6 gene frequencies suggest that there is selection at this locus but selection on loci closely linked to it cannot be excluded. Differences in catalytic properties between allozymes have been shown in vitro; further, several laboratory studies have shown apparent fitness differences between allozymes. Our study used inbred lines highly homogeneous in the genetic background. Four populations were set up from Est-6s and Est-6F homozygous females inseminated by males of the same genotype at each combination of three factors: temperature (18 and 25°C); methyl malonate (presence or absence); input gene frequencies [p(S) = 0.2 and 0.8]. The populations were sampled periodically for about 28 generations. Methyl malonate was chosen to exert pressure in the enzymatic function of esterase-6. Statistical analyses show that: there are no sex differences; gene frequencies change from input values to those of the first sampling, when only individuals of the first generation are present at 18C or individuals of the second generation just begin to appear at 25°C; gene frequencies do not change thereafter and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is established. The changes in gene frequencies observed in the first generations suggest that Est-6 can under certain conditions be a target of selection. Such conditions may not, however, occur in natural populations. © 1986, Indian Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.
