The authors have drawn to the attention of the associate editor of the journal errors in the following paper: Currat et al. Forward-in-Time, Spatially Explicit Modeling Software to Simulate Genetic Lineages Under Selection. Evolutionary Bioinformatics. 2015:11(S2) 27–39 doi: 10.4137/EBO.S33488.
On page 29, in the subsection Evolution of allele frequencies within a single deme, there was an error in this sentence:
Then, we computed the heterozygosity Ht within the deme and compared it with the expected heterozygosity given by the formula ,42 where H0 is the initial density at time 0.
The sentence should have stated “… where H0 is the initial heterozygosity at time 0.”
In the legends of Figures 2 and 4, the text “Pairwise FST within” should have been “Pairwise genetic distance D within”.
In the legend of Figure 3, “FCT (in orange) and FSC (in blue)” should have read “FCT (in blue) and FSC (in orange)”.
The associate editor thanks the authors for bringing these errors to the attention of the journal.
