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
Ancient lakes are a hotspot of biodiversity. Freshwater species often experience spectacular species radiation after colonizing lakes from riverine habitats. Therefore, the relationship between the fauna of the ancient lakes and the surrounding riverine system has a special significance in understanding their origin and evolutionary history. The study of ancient lake species often focused on the lake colonization of riverine species. In contrast, far less attention has been placed on the reverse direction: the riverine colonization of the lake species, despite its importance in disentangling their complex evolutionary history. The freshwater snails in the genus Semisulcospira involve endemic groups that radiated in the ancient Lake Biwa. Using genetics and fossil records, we inferred that the ancestors of these lake-endemic Semisulcospira snails historically colonized the riverine habitats at least three times during the Middle Pleistocene. Each colonization resulted in the formation of a new lineage that was genetically and morphologically distinct from other lineages. Further, one of these colonizations was followed by hybridization with a cosmopolitan riverine species, which potentially facilitated the population persistence of the colonizers in the new environment. Despite their complex histories, all these colonizers were currently grouped within a single species, Semisulcospira kurodai, suggesting cryptic diversity in this species. This study highlights the significance of the riverine colonizations of the lake species to fully understand the diversification history of freshwater fauna in and around the ancient lakes.
