Erratum in Trends in Ecology and Evolution

Unfortunately, in our TREE article (citation below), the Im:If values provided in Table 1 were incorrect. The correct formula was given in the notes that accompanied Table 1 (i.e., I = variance in RS divided by the square of mean  RS), but I gave the incorrect Im:If values (a silly mistake using excel – I divided variance in RS by mean RS*2). As the Im:If values were not used in any of the analyses, this error does not affect any of the results or conclusions of the article. The correct Im:If values are provided in the erratum, and all other values in the table are correct.
