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
Lord Howe Island is notable for its rich subtropical flora and fauna, however incursions of house mouse (1860s) and black rat (1918) have had catastrophic effects on the biota. These rodents were eliminated in 2019. Repeated surveys of the beetles of Lord Howe Island have provided pre- and post- rodent eradication data. The recovery of a large flightless longhorn beetle, Xylotoles wollastoni, is outlined here. Implications for insect conservation The recovery of a large flightless endemic beetle provides strong support for the positive impacts of rodent eradication on the Lord Howe fauna, and for similar conservation programmes elsewhere.
