Correction to: Heredity (2011) 107, 174–186; doi:10.1038/hdy.2011.5
Upon publication earlier this year in Volume 107, the authors noticed a typographical error, regarding the era of study, in the Discussion section. Within the paragraph sub headed ‘A phylogeographic pattern driven by climate changes', a sentence on page 184 should read:
Palynological studies reported human migrations and agropastoral activities involving shea trees 1000 years ago in Burkina (Neumann et al., 1998), and the evidence of human selection of V. paradoxa has been found in this zone (Lovett and Haq, 2000; Maranz and Wiesman, 2003).
The authors apologize for any confusion caused.
