Corrigendum

The article entitled “A genomic approach to inferring kinship reveals limited intergenerational dispersal in the yellow fever mosquito” which published in Molecular Ecology Resources (volume 19, Issue 5, pages 1254–1264).

The authors of the above article, first published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) in Molecular Ecology Resources, would like to note that in the original paper the authors mistakenly equated the distribution of distances between related individuals for each kinship category with the distribution of those related individuals themselves. Under an additive variance framework modelling dispersal, the former category, corresponding to sample data, represents the outcome of two separate dispersal processes: parent to first offspring, and parent to second offspring. The resulting distribution has twice the variance of the (intended) parent‐offspring dispersal alone—the distribution required by Wright's equations. Responding to this, the authors have altered equations and results pertaining to kinship dispersal within the paper to include the factor 1/√2, which converts the measured offspring‐offspring distribution to the needed parent‐offspring distribution.

Key changes to the original paper include:

• Altering section 2.4 (inference of dispersal distributions) paragraph 1 to replace the phrase “represent” with “result from”, and paragraph 2 to add a step (d) stating, “multiplied by the factor 1/√2 to convert from a separation distribution to a dispersal distribution”. These changes avoid a premature equating of sample separation and dispersal.

• Alter the supplementary text document to include the attached “explanation of errata” file, and to similarly update the kinship dispersal calculation details.

• Correct all estimates of dispersal throughout the paper with the 1/√2 factor.

• Alter the radii (dashed lines) in Figure 2 to adjust with the same correction factor.
