Correction to ‘Latitudinal gradients in biotic niche breadth vary across ecosystem types’

Proc. R. Soc. B 282 , 20151589 (Published Online 11 November 2015) ([doi:10.1098/rspb.2015.1589][1]) A subset of food webs analysed for the manuscript Latitudinal gradients in biotic niche breadth vary across ecosystem types ; (doi:10.1098/rspb.2015.1589) had formatting errors or irregularities that caused them to be incorrectly processed by our original code (75 out of 263; see the electronic supplementary material, table S2, appendix S1 for details). Some food webs had inconsistent labels that prevented sets of predators and prey from being correctly linked to the same species. Others listed interactions using categorical symbols; these interactions were not included in our original analyses. We have corrected these inconsistencies and repeated our analyses to ensure that our conclusions did not change. After re-analysis, our results were qualitatively identical to those originally published and our original conclusions hold. However, the specific values for correlations and scaling relationships given in the original results and discussion are incorrect. Below, we present the section Results and the beginning of the last paragraph of the section Discussion (the only portion to require correction). All corrections are highlighted in bold. The original and corrected values may be compared in tables 1 and 2 … [1]: http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2015.1589
