A calibration mistake caused systematic error in the microscopic measurements; all filter mesh size values should be divided by a factor of 2.56. As our conclusions were based on the inter- and intraspecific variations of the trait, this systematic error does not influence them in any way.

Filter mesh sizes ranged between 2.47 and 7.17 μm in C. curvispinum, between 1.83 and 5.09 μm in C. robustum, and between 1.03 and 2.68 μm in C. sowinskyi. Interspecific differences were estimated correctly as 1.12 μm (SE = 0.15) between C. curvispinum and C. robustum, and 1.37 μm (SE = 0.15) between C. robustum and C. sowinskyi. The correct version of Figure 2 and Table 3 are provided in this correction.
