Error in Table

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. The bioerosion coefficient b for Chlorurus strongylocephalus was stated as 2.577 instead of 2.258. The corrected Table 1 appears below. The authors state that the calculations and scientific conclusions of this paper are unaffected, but the error might affect researchers using the coefficients for their own bioerosion calculations. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication and the dataset at https://doi.org/10.24378/exe.2623 have also been updated.

Table 1. Individual annual grazing (m2 ind.−1 yr−1) and bioerosion rates (kg ind.−1 yr−1) for a range of parrotfish species and size classes. Empty cells indicate size classes above the maximum total length (TL) of species (based on own observations and FishBase). Coefficients a and b describe allometric regressions between body size and individual functional rates (grazing/bioerosion = a × (TL)b).
