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
Sorex rohweri sp. nov. is described on the basis of a series of specimens from the Olympic Peninsula and adjacent western regions of Washington State, USA, and southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It has been misidentified as Sorex cinereus Kerr, 1792, which occurs in the Cascade Range in west-central Washington, in coastal British Columbia, and regions farther to the northeast. The new species is distinguished from S. cinereus by numerous morphological characters: differences in craniodental dimensions; different location and form of the medial tines of the upper incisors; presence of patent postmandibular foramina; different intensity and distribution of dental pigmentation; and different form of the glans penis, along with other details. The combination of characters also separates it from sympatric species of Sorex. Phylogenetic inference of cytochrome b sequences from two specimens of the proposed new species shows them to be distinct from Sorex cinereus and from five sympatric Sorex species, supporting their designation as members of a new species. Sorex rohweri sp. nov. (Mammalia, Soricidae) aus dem Nordwesten Nordamerikas Eine neue Art der Gattung Sorex von der Olympic Peninsula und den angrenzenden Gebieten des Staates Washington USA und des südwestlichen Kanada wird beschrieben. Die neue Art ist schon lange als Sorex cinereus Kerr, 1792, die in den Cascade-Gebirgen und weiter östlich vorkommt, identifiziert worden. Sie unterscheidet sich offensichtlich von S. cinereus durch eine Reihe von diagnostischen Merkmalen: Unterschiede zwischen Schädel- und Zahnmaßen; Lage und Form der akzessorischen medialen Pfeiler (medial tines) an den oberen Schneidezähnen; Intensität und Verteilung des Zahnpigments; Foramen mandibulae, welches die Fossa temporalis interna erreicht; Form des Glans Penis; Anzahl der Zehenkissen u.a. Eine molekulare Analyse des mitochrondrialen Cytochrom b -Gens hat bestätigt, dass die neue Art sich deutlich von S. cinereus und den anderen Arten, die analysiert wurden, unterscheidet.
