Fig. 3 (corrected).

The allometric scaling relationship (log10–log10) of body mass (mg) and oxygen uptake (mg O2 h–1). The solid line indicates the empirically derived scaling exponent of 0.792+0.05 (mean+s.d.) and the dotted line indicates isometry, i.e. a scaling exponent of 1. This empirical scaling exponent was used to calculate the mass-specific rates of oxygen uptake rates.

In Fig. 3, the numbers on the y-axis were incorrect. The corrected and original versions of the figure are shown below. In Fig. 7, the units for net oxygen consumption (mg O2 g−0.792 h−1) were missing from the figure legend.

Both the online full text and PDF versions of the paper have been corrected. We apologise to the authors and readers for this error and any inconvenience it may have caused.
