In the published article, there was an error in Table 5 as published. In the Comments column for Dawson et al., 2014, we wrote “Shows lack of effect of rain before nest construction; relevant rainfall amounts not reported”. This was incorrect. The revised Comment reads as follows:
“Red foxes may use a wider array of nest location cues than some other predators; relevant rainfall amounts not reported”.
TABLE 5
Table 5 Papers suggesting freshwater turtle nest survival is not enhanced by rainfall.
