This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 50. 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 07 June 2026.
All research outputs
#1,057,877
of 34,145,339 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#2,340
of 12,380 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#16,576
of 390,118 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#34
of 138 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,145,339 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,380 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 43.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% 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 390,118 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 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 138 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
