In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. The N, mean lifespan, percent of control, and p-value listed in the first columns of this table are meant to align with the Kaplan-Meier survival curves shown in Figures 1A–C. However, the percentages listed in the published table (for all of the blueberry treatments) do not match up with the mean lifespans listed. The corrected Table 2 appears below. The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.

Table 2.

Alaskan berry and fungus treatments extend wildtype C. elegans lifespan.

Percent change in lifespan relative to control, significance from the representative survival curves shown in Figures 1A–C. The highest and lowest percent increase in lifespan relative to control in all replicates is also reported. Experiments were repeated in multiple independent trials (≥3), all with the same directional effect and similar magnitude of effect. Statistical significance (p-value) calculated with Kaplan-Meier log-rank test.
