Seasonal dynamics of megafauna on the deep West Antarctic Peninsula shelf in response to variable phytodetrital influx

R. Soc. open sci. 1, 140294. (Published online 19 November 2014). (doi:10.1098/rsos.140294)

Following publication of our article [1], it has come to our attention that there is an error in the second to last sentence of the abstract.

The sentence in the published article reads:

‘Assuming that this species feeds on the top millimetre of the sediment, we estimate that, during periods of high phytodetrital flux, the Pr. murrayi population reworks one square metre of sediment surface in approximately 287 days’.

The sentence should read as follows:

‘Assuming that this species feeds on the top millimetre of the sediment, we estimate that, during periods of high phytodetrital flux, the Pr. murrayi population reworks the entire sediment surface in approximately 287 days’.

This error was introduced by the authors during the proofing stage. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
