In the published article, there was an error. The genus name of the Australian Plague locust (“Chortoicetes”), was incorrectly replaced in three different places by a different locust genus name “Ceracris.” This mistake appeared after the authors submitted the final proofs.

A correction has been made to Chortoicetes terminifera (Walker, 1870), [Australian plague locust], [Paragraph 2, 3, and 4]. The following sentences previously stated:

Paragraph 2:

“[Habitat and ecology. Ceracris terminifera is distributed throughout the arid and semi-arid regions of Australia, which is most of the country, excluding the wetter coastal regions.]”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“[Habitat and ecology. Chortoicetes terminifera is distributed throughout the arid and semi-arid regions of Australia, which is most of the country, excluding the wetter coastal regions.]”

Paragraph 3:

“[Ceracris terminifera are adapted to arid and semi-arid environments with high temporal and spatial variability in precipitation (Hunter et al., 2001).]”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“[Chortoicetes terminifera are adapted to arid and semi-arid environments with high temporal and spatial variability in precipitation (Hunter et al., 2001).]”

Paragraph 4:

“[Ceracris terminifera exhibits behavioral phase polyphenism (Gray et al., 2009), with crowd-reared nymphs increasing activity and propensity to spend time near conspecifics (Cullen et al., 2012).]”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“[Chortoicetes terminifera exhibits behavioral phase polyphenism (Gray et al., 2009), with crowd-reared nymphs increasing activity and propensity to spend time near conspecifics (Cullen et al., 2012).]”

The journal apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
