Description
Raquel Ponti, Claire Doutrelant, and Rita Covas correct their 2023 study of the island rule in birds, on how island birds' body sizes shift relative to mainland relatives. The analysis stands; the error was visual. In figure 1, the trend lines were right, but the plotted points used the wrong colors, mixing the blue and violet meant to mark absence and presence of predators or competitors. The corrected figure assigns each point its proper color. The message is unchanged: raptors shift how island size scales with mainland size.
