In the original article, the reference for Kotabová et al., 2012 was incorrectly written as Kotabová, E., Vancová, M., Lukeš, J., Oborník, M., Modri, D., Lukeš, M., et al. (2012). Morphology, ultrastructure and life cycle of Vitrella brassicaformis n. sp., n. gen., a novel chromerid from the great barrier reef. Protist 163, 306–323. doi: 10.1016/j.protis.2011.09.001. It should be Oborník, M., Modrý, D., Lukeš, M., Cernotíková-Stríbrná, E., Cihlár, J., Tesarová, M., et al. (2012). Morphology, ultrastructure and life cycle of Vitrella brassicaformis n. sp., n. gen., a novel chromerid from the great barrier reef. Protist 163, 306–323. doi: 10.1016/j.protis.2011.09.001 Furthermore, the reference should be cited as Oborník et al. 2012.
In the original article Moore, R. B., Oborník, M., Janouškovec, J., Chrudimský, T., Vancová, M., Green, D. H., et al. (2008). A photosynthetic alveolate closely related to apicomplexan parasites. Nature 451, 959–963. doi: 10.1038/nature06635 was not cited in the article. The citation has now been inserted in INTRODUCTION, Paragraph 3 and should read:
Understanding what this diversity and distribution means requires a more detailed dissection of which apicomplexans appear in which environments. This is currently not possible because we lack a robust phylogenetic framework (e.g., a reference tree) upon which to base such inferences. Moreover, it has5 recently been shown that the apicomplexans are the sister group to another odd collection of microbial predators (colpodellids) and putatively symbiotic algae (chromerids), collectively known as chrompodellids or “Apicomplexan-related lineages” (ARLs) (Leander et al., 2003; Moore et al., 2008; Oborník et al., 2012; Woo et al., 2015). These lineages have aided in understanding of how apicomplexans evolved to become parasites and the ecological conditions that might have led to this transition.
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
