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
Recently, the nature of gall pigmentation phenomenon has gained interest, with different, and often contradicting, explanations and hypotheses. A recent, welcome contribution by Connor et al. (Arthropod-Plant Interact 6:489-495, 2012) suggested that gall pigmentation is a mere "fabricational noise" of the gall development, caused by the production of anthocyanin due to the accumulation of cytokinins and sugars. We propose that this perspective, although probably true in some systems, is an oversimplification of a more complex situation. We argue that since multiple pigments are likely to be involved in gall coloration, and since the link between cytokinins and pigmentation is not obligatory, this is an unlikely general explanation of gall pigmentation. The galling habit has evolved independently among numerous insect lineages and habitats, and therefore, the role of gall pigmentation may vary. It is the time to test the different hypotheses in the field. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
