Correction to: Communications Biology; https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-018-0119-2; published online: 14 August 2018

In the original published version of the article, the acknowledgements incorrectly omitted a statement acknowledging the availability of public data through the authors’ funding from the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative. This information was also missing from the Data Availability statement. In addition, the original version of the acknowledgements did not accurately reflect the relative funding to author Francesca Leasi from multiple sources. These errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
