Nyffeler M, Gibbons JW. 2022. Spiders feeding on vertebrates is more common and widespread than previously thought, geographically and taxonomically. Journal of Arachnology 50:121-134.

In the Abstract, lines 8-13 should be as follows: “By contrast, unexpected feeding on vertebrates by the occasional vertebrate-eaters (i.e., Actinopodidae, Agelenidae, Amaurobiidae, Anyphaenidae, Barychelidae, Clubionidae, Corinnidae, Ctenizidae, Cyrtaucheniidae, Deinopidae, Desidae, Dictynidae, Dipluridae, Eresidae, Filistatidae, Gnaphosidae, Halonoproctidae, Linyphiidae, Liocranidae, Miturgidae, Oxyopidae, Pholcidae, Porrhothelidae, Salticidae, Selenopidae, Sicariidae, Tetragnathidae, and Thomisidae) might be considered as chance events that took place when a tiny vertebrate crossed the path of an opportunistic spider.”

On page 125 the last sentence in the left column should be as follows: “This group (made up of the 28 families Actinopodidae, Agelenidae, Amaurobiidae, Anyphaenidae, Barychelidae, Clubionidae, Corinnidae, Ctenizidae, Cyrtaucheniidae, Deinopidae, Desidae, Dictynidae, Dipluridae, Eresidae, Filistatidae, Gnaphosidae, Halonoproctidae, Linyphiidae, Liocranidae, Miturgidae, Oxyopidae, Pholcidae, Porrhothelidae, Salticidae, Selenopidae, Sicariidae, Tetragnathidae, and Thomisidae) accounts for < 10% of all recorded incidents of vertebrate predation (Fig. 1).”

In Figure 1, the family Deinopidae (with 1 record of vertebrate predation) was accidentially omitted. The corrected version is as follows:
