A Corrigendum on
Effects of imidacloprid-induced hormesis on the development and reproduction of the rose-grain aphid Metopolophium dirhodum (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

In the published article, there was an error in the note for Table 1 as published. The word “paired” was missing from the following sentence: “Different letters in the same row indicated significantly different (p < 0.05) by the bootstrap test.” The corrected table note appears below.

TABLE 1

TABLE 1. The sub-lethal effects of imidacloprid on developmental duration and fecundity of the F₁ generation of Metopolophium dirhodum.

In the published article, there was an error in the note for Table 2 as published. The word “paired” was missing from the following sentence: “Different letters in the same row indicated significantly different (p < 0.05) by the bootstrap test.” The corrected table note appears below.

TABLE 2

TABLE 2. Sub-lethal effects of imidacloprid on population parameters of the F₁ generation of Metopolophium dirhodum.

In the published article, there was an error in Table 2 as published. Some of the data in Table 2 should be kept 4 digits behind the decimal point. The corrected Table 2 and its caption appear below.

In the published article, there was an error. Some corrections have been made to Results, Transgenerational sub-lethal effects of the imidacloprid on survival rates, life expectancy and reproductive value of the M. dirhodum F₁ generation, paragraph two. This sentence previously stated:

“The age-stage specific life expectancy (e_xj) refers to the predicted survival of an individual at age x and stage j at a later age x. Compared with control, the F₁ individuals produced by F0 imidacloprid-treated had a higher life expectancy (Figure 4). Moreover, newborn M. dirhodum nymphs were expected to live for 56, 62, and 52 days following the 50, 100, and 200 mg/L imidacloprid treatments, respectively, for only 49 days in response to the control treatment (Figure 4).”

In the corrected sentence, “survival” was changed to “survival time” due to a missing word, “at a later age x” was deleted as these were superfluous words, and “F0” was corrected to “F₀” since “0” should be subscripted. Additionally, “56, 62, and 52 days” was changed to “57, 63, and 53 days” and “49 days” was changed to “50 days”. The first day that the life expectancy value in Figure 4 is 0 should be added, so the life expectancy value for each treatment should be added by 1 day.

The corrected sentence appears below:

“The age-stage specific life expectancy (e_xj) refers to the predicted survival time of an individual at age x and stage j. Compared with control, the F₁ individuals produced by F₀ imidacloprid-treated had a higher life expectancy (Figure 4). Moreover, newborn M. dirhodum nymphs were expected to live for 57, 63, and 53 days following the 50, 100, and 200 mg/L imidacloprid treatments, respectively, for only 50 days in response to the control treatment (Figure 4).”

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.
