In the published article, in the Abstract (line 3) and the Introduction (line 13), the scientific name of Tachypleus gigas was incorrectly given as Tapinauchenius gigas. The correct generic name is Tachypleus, a genus of xiphosuran arthropods, whereas Tapinauchenius is a genus of an arachnid. We apologise for any confusion this error may have caused.
