Author Correction: The spread of steppe and Iranian-related ancestry in the islands of the western Mediterranean

Correction to: Nature Ecology & Evolution https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-020-1102-0, published online 24 February 2020.

In the version of this Article originally published, a sentence in the penultimate paragraph of the Discussion section should not have referred to the Balearic Islands. The sentence ‘For example, all six individuals in our analysis dataset from the Balearic Islands and post-Bronze Age period are consistent with having no ancestry from earlier local groups.’ should have read ‘For example, all six individuals in our analysis dataset from the post-Bronze Age period are consistent with having no ancestry from earlier local groups.’

Additionally, in the Methods subsection ‘qpWave and qpAdm’, the word ‘intersection’ in the penultimate sentence should have been ‘union’; the sentence ‘We used the option allsnps: YES to specify that the f₄-statistics, which are the basis of qpWave and qpAdm analyses, should be computed using the intersection of SNPs with coverage in all four groups that contribute to each f₄-statistic.’ should have read ‘We used the option allsnps: YES to specify that the f₄-statistics, which are the basis of qpWave and qpAdm analyses, should be computed using the union of SNPs with coverage in all four groups that contribute to each f₄-statistic.’

These errors have now been corrected.
