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.

Book Chapter Description
The map and compass hypothesis suggests that a navigating animal uses a map to determine where it is relative to its goal and a compass to set a direction home. A sun compass, star compass, polarized light compass, inclination magnetic compass, polarity magnetic compass, wind compass, and moon compass have all been proposed for animals, and the use of some of these is discussed in this article. There is evidence for magnetic field-, olfactory-, and infrasound-based maps, but there are, still, gaps in our understanding particularly with regard to sensory thresholds and signal-to-noise ratios for slowly acting sensory modalities.
