Erratum to: Use of allochthonous resources by zooplankton in reservoirs

Abstract

Due to an error in model transcription, the dietary water fraction was only applied to the zooplankton and Chaoborus algal fraction in the mixing model. The dietary water correction should have also been applied to the terrestrial fraction. The updated zooplankton and Chaoborus allochthony values are reported below along with corrected versions of Figs. 2 and 4. In the corrected model, the values for zooplankton and Chaoborus allochthony decreased approximately 15% but the patterns among reservoirs, the regression analysis, and the conclusion remain unchanged.Crustaceous zooplankton allochthony varied among systems from 11 to 79%, and Chaoborus allochthony, measured in four reservoirs, was similarly variable (22-80%). The allochthonous fraction of zooplankton was variable but usually\50% in all but two reservoirs. For most reservoirs the four pools of organic matter considered in this study (POM, DOM, zooplankton, Chaoborus) were over 20% allochthonous based on median values, but some zooplankton distributions had high uncertainty.The online version of the original article can be found under
