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
Seasonal patterns of social organization and habitat use were studied in the kudu Tragelaphus strepsiceros population of the central Kruger National Park. Habitat use by kudu cows and bulls differed significantly during wet and dry seasons. Bulls maintained a strong preference for riverine/watercourse habitat throughout the year. Cows were distributed across savanna habitat and an ecotone between hills and savanna in the wet season. In the dry season they increased their use of riverine/watercourse habitat, which is a dry season forage reserve for the browsing guild. The greatest potential for intersexual competition would thus be expected in the dry season, but in fact this was when kudu bulls and cows were least segregated. Therefore sexual segregation in kudu cannot be explained by intersexual competition.
