Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-22714-x, published online 20 March 2018
This Article contains an error in Figure 2 where the sex of juvenile T046B4 is incorrect and the sex of juvenile T046B1A is listed as unknown has since been determined. The correct Figure 2 and accompanying legend appear below.
Geneological schematic of present individuals. The identities and where known, sex and birth year of all whales present and their maternal relations to each other (see original schematics in Towers et al.30) displayed in colour coded statuses. Purple: post-reproductive female, Blue: reproductive male, Fuscia: reproductive females, Pink: juvenile females, Light Blue: juvenile male, Gray: neonate of unknown gender.
As a result, in the Results section,
“Adult female T068 (age ≥ 46 yr, thus post-reproductive) and her adult son T068A (age 32) were travelling together about 200 m behind a young mother T046B1 (age 13), her offspring T046B1A (age < 2 yr) and her sister T046B4 (age < 3 yr) (Fig. 2).”
should read:
“Adult female T068 (age ≥ 46 yr, thus post-reproductive) and her adult son T068A (age 32) were travelling together about 200 m behind a young mother T046B1 (age 13), her daughter T046B1A (age < 2 yr) and her brother T046B4 (age < 3 yr) (Fig. 2).”
