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
Components of phenotypic covariance of fecundity with adult size were examined in the bug Dysdercus fasciatus in benign and stressful moisture environments. In addition, genetic relationships were explored between the character states in different environments. There was a positive and significant genetic association between fecundity and adult size in a benign environment. By contrast, the observed phenotypic covariability of fecundity with adult size in a stressful environment arose entirely from non-additive genetic plus maternal effects. Genetic correlations between the same character across environments were significantly less than unity for both adult size and fecundity. These results suggest that populations in benign and stressful moisture environments would respond to selection on adult size and fecundity in different ways. © 1991 The Genetical Society of Great Britain.
