The author wishes to make the following correction to this paper [1]. Due to an error involving the immunofluorescent staining for BmAtg8 after starvation treatment in Figure 4E, it should be replaced with the correct new figure (Figure 1). Due to a change in the statistical analysis between the three groups as well as the replacements of the merged and magnified pictures for BmTip60WT in Figure 6D, the corrected figure is shown below (Figure 2).
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by these changes.
