Corrigendum to: On the form of species–area relationships in habitat islands and true islands (Global Ecology and Biogeography, (2016), 25, 7, (847-858), 10.1111/geb.12269)

Abstract

In Matthews et al. (2016), errors were found in Abstract section on page 841 and power (log–log) model section on page 852, due to the following reasons: To compare c-values (from the `power log-log species–area relationship model), the area units should be the same. However, in the analyses comparing the c-values of the power model between habitat islands and different categories of true islands, the authors mistakenly did not convert the island areas of the habitat island datasets (originally in ha) into km2 (the area units of the true island datasets). When the c-values were calculated after converting habitat island areas to km2, the median habitat island c-value was 3.16 (Q1 and Q3 = 2.33 and 4.10). c-values were significantly lower for oceanic islands (median = 1.45; Q1 and Q3 = 0.33 and 2.45; P
