This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 115. 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 16 November 2025.
All research outputs
#463,292
of 34,554,170 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#1,093
of 12,429 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#9,829
of 484,189 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#25
of 140 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,554,170 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 98th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,429 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 43.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% 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 484,189 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 140 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
