Sketch map of Tingjiang River showing the sampling sites in wet and dry seasons. A total of 60 surface water samples were collected in July and November 2015. The map of Tingjiang River sampling sites was performed using ArcGIS 10.1 (ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA)

From: “These were (1) the dendritic network length (km), which is a measure of the cumulative length of the branching river network upstream of the sampling site, and (2) the Euclidian distance (km) based on the longitude and latitude coordinates of each sampling site, which is simply the straight line distance between sampling points. All geographical measures were calculated using ArcGIS (ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA).”

To: “These were (1) the dendritic network length (km), which is a measure of the cumulative length of the branching river network (watercourse) of two sampling sites, and (2) the Euclidian distance (km) based on the longitude and latitude coordinates of each sampling site, which is simply the straight line distance between sampling points. All geographical measures were calculated using ArcGIS (ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA).”

The publishers apologise for this error. The original article [1] has been updated.
