This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 39. 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 10 June 2026.
All research outputs
#1,324,052
of 34,311,960 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#2,793
of 12,407 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#13,165
of 359,721 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#44
of 171 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,311,960 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 12,407 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 43.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% 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 359,721 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 96% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 171 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
