Each strip is that field’s whole ranked pool, with the notch where Zoological Institute sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no world mark, because the world rate differs by field (from about 6% to 21% in this record).

Which keywords describe research at Zoological Institute?

By fractional works in 2022–2025, weighted toward what it does more of than the world: Phylogeny, Biogeography, Invasive Species, Biodiversity, Climate Change, Taxonomy, Evolution and DNA Barcoding.

▲ more of its work than of the world’s◆ about the world’s share▼ less than the world’s

Size is fractional works in 2022–2025 in the topics tagged with each word; colour is the word's share of this institution's work against its share of the world's. The 40 words are chosen for being large and distinctive. Each links to the topic it comes from most.
