Correction for Braun et al., Linking vertical movements of large pelagic predators with distribution patterns of biomass in the open ocean

Ecology Correction for “Linking vertical movements of large pelagic predators with distribution patterns of biomass in the open ocean,” by Camrin D. Braun, Alice Della Penna, Martin C. Arostegui, Pedro Afonso, Michael L. Berumen, Barbara A. Block, Craig A. Brown, Jorge Fontes, Miguel Furtado, Austin J. Gallagher, Peter Gaube, Walter J. Golet, Jeff Kneebone, Bruno C. L. Macena, Gonzalo Mucientes, Eric S. Orbesen, Nuno Queiroz, Brendan D. Shea, Jason Schratwieser, David W. Sims, Gregory B. Skomal, Derke Snodgrass, and Simon R. Thorrold, which published November 6, 2023; 10.1073/pnas.2306357120 (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 120, e2306357120).

The authors note that the point fill color in the legend for yellowfin tuna in Fig. 1A appeared incorrectly. The corrected figure and its legend appear below.

Use of the deep pelagic ocean is widespread among predators. (A) Daily satellite tag–based position estimates of all tagged species in the North Atlantic Ocean. (B) Individuals made extensive, often daily, vertical movements into the deep ocean. Mean daily maximum depth (across species) indicates that these species regularly move into at least the upper mesopelagic [yellow colors in (B)] in almost every grid cell but many traverse the meso- and into the bathypelagic, >1,000 m [blue colors in (B)]. See SI Appendix, Fig. S1 for species-specific daily max depth.

Additionally, the authors note that the following statement should be added to the Acknowledgments: “N.Q. was funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) PTDC/BMA/3536/2021 and CEECIND/02857/2018.”
