This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 25. 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 13 July 2025.
All research outputs
#1,933,266
of 34,400,738 outputs
Outputs from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#3,723
of 12,418 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#35,203
of 486,162 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
#65
of 129 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,400,738 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,418 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 gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% 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 486,162 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 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 129 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 49th percentile – i.e., 49% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
