| Abstract |
Exclusion experiments show that birds significantly reduce densities of larval Lepidoptera on forest understory vegetation. When insect densities are already low, bird predation may act both as a population regulator and as a strong agent of natural selection. |

Attention Score in Context
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 01 February 2019.
All research outputs
#7,251,146
of 22,914,829 outputs
Outputs from Science
#47,617
of 78,007 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,634
of 7,066 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Science
#49
of 122 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,914,829 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 78,007 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 62.4. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% 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 7,066 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 122 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 59% of its contemporaries.
