Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-71511-y, published online 03 September 2020

This Article contains an error in Figure 2: the y axis labels for panels (b) and (c) mistakenly use the unit “pg/ml”, when the correct unit is “ng/ml”. As a result, the Figure legend,

“Effects of prenatal hormone manipulation (TH = experimentally elevated yolk thyroid hormone treatment, CO = control) and postnatal temperature manipulation (non-heated vs. heated nests) on offspring phenotype and physiology. (a) Nestling body mass growth pattern (g, average ± SE); (b) plasma triiodothyronine (T3) concentration (pg/ml, marginal means ± SE), (c) plasma thyroxine (T4) concentration (pg/ml, marginal means ± SE), (d) mitochondrial density in blood cells (ln-transformed, marginal means ± SE), (e) blood total glutathione concentration (tGSH, nmol/mg protein, ln-transformed means ± SE) and (f) lipid peroxidation (MDA concentration, µmol/mg protein, ln-transformed means ± SE). Heated nests were on average 2.75 °C warmer than non-heated ones. See text and ESM for details on statistics and sample sizes.”

should read:

“Effects of prenatal hormone manipulation (TH = experimentally elevated yolk thyroid hormone treatment, CO = control) and postnatal temperature manipulation (non-heated vs. heated nests) on offspring phenotype and physiology. (a) Nestling body mass growth pattern (g, average ± SE); (b) plasma triiodothyronine (T3) concentration (ng/ml, marginal means ± SE), (c) plasma thyroxine (T4) concentration (ng/ml, marginal means ± SE), (d) mitochondrial density in blood cells (ln-transformed, marginal means ± SE), (e) blood total glutathione concentration (tGSH, nmol/mg protein, ln-transformed means ± SE) and (f) lipid peroxidation (MDA concentration, µmol/mg protein, ln-transformed means ± SE). Heated nests were on average 2.75 °C warmer than non-heated ones. See text and ESM for details on statistics and sample sizes.”

The correct Figure 2b-c and the correct Figure legend appear below as Figure 1.

A correct version of the original Figure 2b-c. Effects of prenatal hormone manipulation (TH = experimentally elevated yolk thyroid hormone treatment, CO = control) and postnatal temperature manipulation (non-heated vs. heated nests) on offspring phenotype and physiology. (a) Nestling body mass growth pattern (g, average ± SE); (b) plasma triiodothyronine (T3) concentration (ng/ml, marginal means ± SE), (c) plasma thyroxine (T4) concentration (ng/ml, marginal means ± SE), (d) mitochondrial density in blood cells (ln-transformed, marginal means ± SE), (e) blood total glutathione concentration (tGSH, nmol/mg protein, ln-transformed means ± SE) and (f) lipid peroxidation (MDA concentration, µmol/mg protein, ln-transformed means ± SE). Heated nests were on average 2.75 °C warmer than non-heated ones. See text and ESM for details on statistics and sample sizes.
