Correction to: BMC Evol Biol (2015) 15:1 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-015-0487-x

Following the publication of the original article [1], we were notified of the following corrections: in both Tables 1 and 2 (height and weight), the values for K should be the exponent of the values in the t0 column, and the values in t0 should be the log of the values in K. This does not affect the curves, as the authors used a predict function.

Correct Tables 1 and 2 can be found in this erratum:

Table 1 Parameters for height growth curves
Table 2 Parameters for weight growth curves
