Correction to "The neoteny goldilocks zone: The evolution of neoteny in Ambystoma"

Abstract

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11240.].

FIGURE 2

Ancestral state estimation of northern and southern range limits (shown by branch colour) and frequency of neoteny (shown as pie charts at nodes and tips representing probability of being in each state). Pie chart colours represent the following: Black = no neoteny, red = facultative neoteny, blue = obligate neoteny.

FIGURE 3

Estimated evolutionary transition rates between neotenic states of Ambystoma species. Despite transitions being allowed between all states, the estimated parameters strongly suggest that direct transitions between no and obligate neoteny cannot occur, instead facultative neoteny acts as an ‘evolutionary stepping stone’ between these opposite extremes. Transition rates are given next to their relevant arrows indicating transitions.

FIGURE 4

Ancestral state estimation of maximum elevation (shown by branch colour) and frequency of neoteny (shown as pie charts at nodes and tips representing probability of being in each state). Pie chart colours represent the following: Black = no neoteny, red = facultative neoteny, blue = obligate neoteny. Note that A. laterale is absent from this phylogeny as no suitable data was available for its maximum elevational range.

FIGURE 5

Distribution of (northern and southern) range limits and maximum elevation by neotenic state. Facultative and obligate neotenic species have similar median latitudinal distribution, but obligate species have a narrower range. In contrast, facultatively neotenic species occur at higher elevations than other species, followed by obligately neotenic species and non‐neotenic species.
