A corrigendum on
Campylobacter in aquatic and terrestrial mammals is driven by life traits: a systematic review and meta-analysis

by Brooks, M. R., Medley, S., Ponder, M. and Alexander, K. A. (2023). Front. Ecol. Evol. 11:1070519. doi: 10.3389/fevo.2023.1070519

In the published article, there was an error in the legend for Figures 1 and 2 as published. The legends for these figures were reversed. The corrected legends appears below.

Figure 1. Probability of Campylobacter carriage at different trophic levels.

Figure 2. Probability of C. jejuni carriage at different trophic levels and degrees of urban association.

In the published article, there was an error in the Funding statement. We provided only the number for the supporting National Science Foundation (NSF) award rather than the name and number, which is not in full accordance with NSF reporting guidelines. The correct Funding statement appears below.

Funding

Funding for this research was provided in part by the National Science Foundation, award #2009717 (CNH2-L: Human waste and its role in creating at an integrated socioenvironmental system at an urban-wilderness continuum).

In the published article, there was an error in the Methods, Statistical Analysis, Paragraph 2. The incorrect sample size was noted in one section and was correct in other sections where the sample size was provided.

The corrected sentence appears below:

“For this analysis we use the AICc, which is a sample size adjusted formula to calculate AIC (Bedrick and Tsai, 1994), due to the relatively low sample size (n = 128).”

The authors 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.
