Title	A Meta-Analysis of Effects of Bt Crops on Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Published in	PLOS ONE, January 2008
DOI	10.1371/journal.pone.0001415
Pubmed ID	18183296
Authors	Jian J. Duan, Michelle Marvier, Joseph Huesing, Galen Dively, Zachary Y. Huang
Abstract	Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are the most important pollinators of many agricultural crops worldwide and are a key test species used in the tiered safety assessment of genetically engineered insect-resistant crops. There is concern that widespread planting of these transgenic crops could harm honey bee populations.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 93. 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 May 2022.

All research outputs

#389,252

of 23,063,209 outputs

Outputs from PLOS ONE

#5,667

of 196,687 outputs

Outputs of similar age

#925

of 157,536 outputs

Outputs of similar age from PLOS ONE

of 222 outputs

Altmetric has tracked 23,063,209 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 196,687 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.2. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% 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 157,536 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 99% of its contemporaries.

We're also able to compare this research output to 222 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
