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
The evolution of the precision grips, in which an object is held between the distal surfaces of thumb and fingers and the power grip, in which an object is grasped with the palm, is poorly understood in spite of hypothesis stipulating an evolution from power toward precision grips. In human, numerous studies have shown that the external factors such as the size or the form of an object influenced grasp patterns whereas in non-human primates, those parameters are poorly known. The objective of the present study was to investigate the variation in the use of different grips according to the volume of the object for six primate species representative of the phylogeny: human, chimpanzee, orangutan, macaque, baboon and capuchin. For those species, the grasping patterns were examined during grasping of spherical objects of two different volumes. Frame-by-frame analysis of digit contact strategies indicated: (1) an effect of the species on the category of grasping whatever the volume of the object, (2) a high degree of species variability and (3) no individual difference whatever the species. These results are discussed in relation to its potential contribution to understand the evolution of grasping.
