Erratum

Abstract

The authors, with input from an external reader, noted several minor errors and omissions in the paper by Landsman et al. (“Geographic drivers more important than landscape composition in predicting bee beta diversity and community structure”; Ecosphere 15(4):e04819). Bee sampling generally occurred once per week (mean sampling frequency 7.27 ± 0.06 days) from March to June 2014 instead of March through September 2016 as originally stated. Taxa that nest in dead wood or live stems and piths were pooled together for nesting group analyses owing to their reliance on dead and/or live vegetation and an error in assigning several taxa to trophic groups slightly affected reported test statistics for those analyses. Neither the statistical significance nor the interpretation of any reported results was affected. In-line references to these test statistics in the Results section should reflect values in the revised Table 3, which is reprinted below. The authors regret these errors.

The authors also wish to clarify that although these data were generated for this specific project, the raw data are also included in and available from the U.S. Geological Survey Native Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab: Droege, S. and Maffei, C. 2023.
