Fan P, Bartlett TQ. Overlooked small apes need more attention! Am J Primatol. 2017; e22658. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.22658
In the article cited above, there was an error in Figure 1 and Tables 2 and 3, which misrepresented the number of publications indexed by Web of Science on each ape genus during the period from 1987–2016. The corrected values are reported in the revised figure and tables below. The error occurred because not all versions of the Web of Science licensed to a given university contain full access to all entries in the data base.
