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
During their complex life cycle, which includes aquatic larvae, terrestrial adults, and hematophagous females, mosquitoes face diverse osmoregulatory challenges. To counter these challenges mosquitoes utilize a dynamic renal excretory system, consisting of the Malpighian tubules and hindgut. The goal of this chapter is to review the contributions that the renal excretory system makes to the osmoregulatory physiology of mosquitoes, with a focus on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of ion and water transport in the Malpighian tubules. Recent advances made with molecular, reverse genetic, and pharmacological approaches are highlighted, and the potential of targeting the renal excretory system as a novel approach for the control of mosquito vectors is discussed.
