Offspring pay sooner, parents pay later: experimental manipulation of body mass reveals trade-offs between immune function, reproduction and survival
We would like to alert you to errors in the y-axis labels of Figures 3a and 3b. In Figure 3a the correct y-axis label should be “H/L-ratio” instead of “delta H/L ratio” as given in the publication. In Figure 3b the correct y-axis label should be “delta Agglutination titer” instead of “delta Haptoglobin (mg/ml) “.
We want to stress that both the figure legend and the accompanying results section describe the data correctly. Also in both cases the axis scaling is correct. Yet, we find it important to alert readers to this mistake.
We apologize for this mistake and the confusion it might have caused.

Errors in the y-axis labels of Figures 3a and 3b

Dear reader,
We would like to alert you to errors in the y-axis labels of Figures 3a and 3b. In Figure 3a the correct y-axis label should be “H/L-ratio” instead of “delta H/L ratio” as given in the publication. In Figure 3b the correct y-axis label should be “delta Agglutination titer” instead of “delta Haptoglobin (mg/ml) “.
We want to stress that both the figure legend and the accompanying results section describe the data correctly. Also in both cases the axis scaling is correct. Yet, we find it important to alert readers to this mistake.
We apologize for this mistake and the confusion it might have caused.
