Correction for Quintero, The diffused evolutionary dynamics of morphological novelty

The author notes that under "Prominence of species sorting in determining macroevolutionary trends," it is incorrectly stated that the prominence metric only accounts for the disappearance of species; rather, it is also impacted by the differential addition of species through speciation of certain phenotypes.The prominence calculation correctly removes the contribution from lineage evolution in fashioning trends, with the remaining being due to differential birth and death of species.In the first and second paragraphs under "Prominence of Species Sorting" in the Materials and Methods and under "Prominence of species sorting" in the Conclusions, where it says the "disappearance" or "removal" of species, it should rather say "addition and disappearance" or "addition and removal" of species.Also, under "Prominence of species sorting" in the Conclusions, "disappearance" should appear as "origination and disappearance."This error does not alter the model, simulations, or broad interpretation of the paper.The conclusions laid out remain accurate in that trends represent differential diversification rather than lineage-level evolution.The online version has been corrected.

Abstract

The author notes that under "Prominence of species sorting in determining macroevolutionary trends," it is incorrectly stated that the prominence metric only accounts for the disappearance of species; rather, it is also impacted by the differential addition of species through speciation of certain phenotypes.The prominence calculation correctly removes the contribution from lineage evolution in fashioning trends, with the remaining being due to differential birth and death of species.In the first and second paragraphs under "Prominence of Species Sorting" in the Materials and Methods and under "Prominence of species sorting" in the Conclusions, where it says the "disappearance" or "removal" of species, it should rather say "addition and disappearance" or "addition and removal" of species.Also, under "Prominence of species sorting" in the Conclusions, "disappearance" should appear as "origination and disappearance."This error does not alter the model, simulations, or broad interpretation of the paper.The conclusions laid out remain accurate in that trends represent differential diversification rather than lineage-level evolution.The online version has been corrected.
