Abstract

In Figure 1 of [Harvey et al (Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:15)] the plotted data were inverted. The correct Figure is shown below. The text and statistical analyses in [Harvey et al (Evolutionary Biology 2008, 8:15)] are correct.

Correction

In Figure 1 of [1] the plotted data were inverted. The correct Figure is shown below. The text and statistical analyses in [1] are correct.

Figure 1.

Figure 1

C. elegans varies in its dauer larvae formation phenotype. (A) The proportion of dauer larvae that developed at two concentrations of food (1 and 2% w/v E. coli OP50 in water) for 163 RILs and (B) this for 21 RILs and N2 (―■―) and DR1350 (―□―) in one representative assay.
