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
Small northern mammals undergo regular developmental and seasonal moults. However, the moulting patterns of many small mammals are not well known. Development and subsequent moulting of the pelage was documented in adult red-backed voles Clethrionomys gapperi Vigors, 1830 and their offspring in relation to age, weight, and sex. Red-backed voles exhibited 4 developmental pelages (nestling, juveniles, subadult, and adult) through diffuse, rapid hair growth. Rapid growth was associated with early moulting at the nestling, juveniles and adult stages. However, a trade-off between moulting and growth existed at the subadult stage such that delayed moulting was associated with rapid growth. Adult voles completed a unique moult progression with highly variable timing. Male and female C. gapperi showed no differences in pattern or locations of moulting. Variation in the number and timing of moults in small mammals may reflect differences in life-history strategies and high-lights the need for a consistent mammalian pelages and moults nomenclature.
