| Abstract |
RNA virus mutation frequencies generally approach maximum tolerable levels, and create complex indeterminate quasispecies populations in infected hosts. This usually favors extreme rates of evolution, although periods of relative stasis or equilibrium, punctuated by rapid change may also occur (as for other life forms). Because complex quasispecies populations of RNA viruses arise probabilistically and differentially in every host, their compositions and exact roles in disease pathogenesis are indeterminate and their directions of evolution, and the nature and timing of "new" virus outbreaks are unpredictable. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 October 2019.
All research outputs
#7,546,261
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#199
of 679 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,596
of 62,017 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 679 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 62,017 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
