Submission received: 5 August 2015 / Revised: 18 August 2015 / Accepted: 18 August 2015 / Published: 20 August 2015
The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1]:
(1) Figure 3A, presented on page 586, shows a recording that at the time of publication was believed to be a duet between a male and female Aacanthocnema dobsoni (Hemiptera: Triozidae). This recording was made on a branchlet supporting a pair of psyllids which is why we believed it to be a duet. Recent recordings from isolated males are similar to recordings known to be duets. We now know that male calls comprise syllables of varying length and structure (including long-syllables and the short-syllables) while female calls comprise short-syllables only. The short-syllables produced by males are similar in structure to female syllables. We are convinced that Figure 3A in the original article does not represent a duet but rather a male call. Consequently we wish to make the following alterations to Figure 3A which we hereby label 3A (i):
Replace the term duet with ♂ call,
Remove the ♂ and ♀ symbols,
Remove the term reply latency (which applies only to duets).
In this correction, we show a typical male phrase Figure 3A (ii) and a typical female call Figure 3A (iii).
Kindly replace:
Insects 06 00743 i001
with
Insects 06 00743 i002
(2) Change to Figure 3 legend. Following the alterations listed above, the Figure 3 legend should be changed as follows:
From:
Vibrational duetting in triozid psyllids. (A) Aacanthocnema dobsoni; long, simple male call (syllable) and short female reply (syllable). (B) Schedotrioza apicobystra (published with permission from CSIRO publishing) short and complex, tightly synchronized male-female duet. s = seconds.
To:
Vibrational signalling in triozid psyllids. (A) (i) Aacanthocnema dobsoni, male call comprising multiple phrases; A (ii) typical male phrase comprising two short- and one long-syllable; A (iii) four short syllables comprising a female call. (B) Vibrational duet in Schedotrioza apicobystra (published with permission from CSIRO publishing) short and complex, tightly synchronized male-female duet. s = seconds, L-S = long syllable, S-S = short syllable.
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers by these changes.
