1. In the article “Restructuring the Traditional Suborders in the Order Scleractinia Based on Embryogenetic Morphological Characteristics” by Nami Okubo, which appeared in Zoological Science 33(1): 116–123 (2016), there was an error in the INTRODUCTION section (Page 116, Right, Lines 8–10).

Original sentence: Corals in “complex” clade have a blastocoel, while those in “robust” clade have no blastocoel during embryogenesis (Okubo et al., 2013).

Correction: Corals in “complex” clade have no blastocoel, while those in “robust” clade have a blastocoel during embryogenesis (Okubo et al., 2013).

The author thanks Dr. Hiroshi Kajihara for calling attention to this error.

2. In the article “Laterality is Universal Among Fishes but Increasingly Cryptic Among Derived Groups” by Michio Hori, Mifuyu Nakajima, Hiroki Hata, Masaki Yasugi, Satoshi Takahashi, Masanori Nakae, Kosaku Yamaoka, Masanori Kohda, Jyun-ichi Kitamura, Masayoshi Maehata, Hirokazu Tanaka, Norihiro Okada, and Yuichi Takeuchi, which appeared in Zoological Science 34(4): 267–274 (2017), there were two errors in Fig. 2 (Page 270).

All the lines showing the probability densities derived from the three models were of the same thickness in the original figure; however, the model selected by the lowest Akaike information criterion value (AS model) should be indicated by the thick line. Also, the English name “Far Eastern catfish” in the lower two charts should be replaced by “Amur catfish”. The corrected figure is shown below.

Fig. 2.

Frequency distributions of (A) the index of asymmetry (IAS) of the mandibles and (B) head angle (θ) of the Japanese amberjack (Seriola quinqueradiata, n = 100; upper) and Amur catfish (Silurus asotus, n = 110; lower). Lines show the probability densities derived from the three models (see Methods). The model selected by the lowest Akaike information criterion (AIC) value is indicated by the thick line.
