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 white mango scale, Aulacaspis tubercularis Newstead (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is an exotic pest that causes important economic damage in the Spanish mango crops. Prospecting for potential natural enemies, the parasitic wasp Arrhenophagus chionaspidis Aurivillius (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) was first detected attacking immature male stages of A. tubercularis in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) in 2022. Still, its influence on pest populations was not evaluated. This endoparasitoid was identified by its morphological characteristics and characterized for the first time by DNA barcoding of adult females using partial (651 bp) mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (mtCOI) gene (Genbank accession number OQ646824). Its potential utilization as biological control agent of A. tubercularis in mango crops is discussed. Therefore, further studies need to be conducted about its biology, population dynamics and rate of natural parasitism for the development of effective biological control strategies of A. tubercularis in mango.
