A Corrigendum on

by Boyd, L. L., Zardus, J. D., Knauer, C. M., and Wood, L. D. (2021). Front. Ecol. Evol. 9:807237. doi: 10.3389/fevo.2021.807237

In the original article, we neglected to include the funder National Science Foundation, #1827195 to research partners Michael Heithaus, Jeremy Kiszka, and Christina Gomes, and we neglected to specify funding sources that were associated with our research. Please see the following amended funding statement:

“Work conducted in Madagascar by LB and CK was supported by funds from multiple travel and research awards from the Tropical Conservation Institute and the Coastlines and Oceans Division in the Institute of Environment at Florida International University, the Judith Evans Parker Travel Scholarship, the PADI Foundation, Happy Earth Apparel, and National Science Foundation Grant No. #1827195 (awarded to M. Heithaus, J. Kiszka, and C. Gomes). Funding was provided by the National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation for all work conducted in Florida by LB, CK, and LW.”

In the original article, we neglected to properly acknowledge some partners and collaborators and failed to include permit numbers, which have now been added. Please see the following amended acknowledgment section:

“We would like to thank the Florida Hawksbill Project at the National Save the Sea Turtle Foundation and Inwater Research Group, Inc., for providing the photographs of Florida hawksbill and green turtles for this study. Activities in Florida were authorized under the following research permits: NMFS 22988, FWC MTP-077, and FKNMS-2019-175. We would like to thank Tanikely Marine Park, Madagascar National Parks, Institut Halieutique et des Sciences Marines, particularly Dr. Jamal Mahafina, the Ministère de l'Environnement, the Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche and the Direction de la Gestion des Ressources Naturelles Renouvelables et des Ecosystèmes (ref no. 126/19/MEDD/DGEF/DGRNE) for permission to conduct studies on Madagascar green and hawksbill turtles. The authors are grateful to the Director of Tanikely Marine Park, Landisoa Randimbison, to Salama Doholo at the Ministère de l'Environnement, Pat Wright, and Elina Sourisseau, Tanguy Guillemain d'Echon, Arthur Guillemain d'Echon, and Mathieu Le Peru from MADA Megafauna, for their support during our time in the field. Work in Madagascar would not have been possible without the aid of our field assistants: Monica Soamanjary, Cristian, Jeanne Beuscart, Mylène Richard, and Zachary Howard. We are extremely appreciative of the support from all of our funders and the guidance from both Michael Heithaus and Jeremy Kiszka at Florida International University. This is publication #1413 of the Coastlines and Oceans Division of the Institute of Environment.”
