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 spatial distribution of the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus Ball, the vector of the pathogen Flavescence dorée of grapevine, was studied in the Asti Province (Piedmont) Italy. Field sampling of adults was carried out using yellow sticky traps both in vineyards subjected to different pest management regimes, and in woods containing American grapevines. The spatial correlation of S. titanus captures was studied using geostatistical analyses. An artificial neural network (ANN) was designed to operate as a spatial predictor driven by external factors (elevation, slope, height above channel, agricultural communities, perimeter-to-area ratio, potential solar radiation, and pest management) for estimating the population density of the leafhopper. The captures were spatially related up to 210 m: the variogram fitting was significant, but resulted in low R values. The ANN achieved a significant generalization of the infestation levels of S. titanus, permitting prediction maps based upon simulated pest management scenarios to be obtained. The most important factors affecting S. titanus population density were pest management, and secondarily agricultural communities. © 2011 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
