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
Divergent selection during Generations 12 to 20 for high (H) and low (L) 4-wk BW under split-(SD) and complete-(CD) diet environments resulted in continued progress in both upward and downward directions. Following 20 generations of selection, there were 4.8- and 3.6-fold differences between BW of H and L lines in the SD and CD environments, respectively. Regression coefficients of mean 4-wk BW on generation of 1.88 and 158 g in the H lines and −1.50 and −1.37 g in the L lines indicated symmetrical selection responses. Realized heritabilities for 4-wk BW ranged from.2 to.4; selection differentials were significantly (P<.01) larger in the H lines than in the L lines. Directional changes in 2-wk and adult BW and in egg weight across generations were similar to that of the selection trait (4-wk BW). Selection resulted in decreased hatchability and egg production and an increase in the age of sexual maturity. However, these changes were smaller than corresponding changes observed in earlier generations (0 to 11). Egg size of lines selected in the SD environment continued to be larger than egg size of corresponding lines in the CD environment. Considerable genetic variation for BW remains under both SD and CD environments following 20 generations of divergent selection. Smaller gains resulting from lower heritabilities agree with theoretical expectations of decreasing responses accompanying continuous selection.
