This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 14 December 2025.
All research outputs
#10,719,275
of 34,391,611 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#8,550
of 12,412 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#98,070
of 357,579 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#90
of 141 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,391,611 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,412 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 43.3. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 357,579 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 141 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
