摘要:A measure of animal, plant and mineral species popularity can be easily obtained from the information available in the Science Citation Index. We used the title, abstract and keyword strategy in this index to find how many times the name of a species had been included in papers published since 1945 to the present. A good fitting of the variation of the number of citations with the rank was obtained with a linearizable and higher trascendental function y = a x–b e–cx. We also show the species «hit parade». The first ten species all have some anthropic character.
