The median and range of annual mean temperatures in the breeding range of each species should have been used as measures of temperature niche position and breadth, respectively. The variables that were used by mistake as the temperature niche position and breadth were the range of annual mean temperatures in the breeding range of each species and another temperature niche data, respectively, that were not the focus. After correcting for these data, a positive correlation between the temperature niche position and breadth (r = 0.47) was found. In a reanalysis with the correct explanatory variables, the temperature niche position was not significant (p = 0.138) but the temperature niche breadth was (p = 0.041 shown as the temperature niche position in Table 2), and bird species had a narrower temperature niche breadth that declined more than the original results showed. These corrections warranted changes to Figure 2b.
Related to this error, the warm-adapted species and cold-adapted species were actually the species with broad and narrow temperature niche breadth, respectively. Relative to this correction revisions to Figure 3e and f and Table 3 have been made.

Overall, these modifications do not change our conclusion that human depopulation and climate warming affect bird population trends in Japan. However, these results do not support our prediction that warm-adapted species would show more positive trends than cold-adapted species (Figure 1). Instead, the positive relationship between population trends and temperature niche breadth suggests that species with narrower temperature niche breadth are at greater risk under climate change than species with broader temperature niche breadth. In Japan bird abundance in warmer areas at the southern end of their distribution range tend to decline, and equivalent population increases do not occur in cooler areas at the northern end of their distribution range and at higher elevations (Y. Yamaura, 2024, personal communication). These results indicate that species with narrow temperature niche breadth might be less able to successfully change their spatial distributions in response to climate warming.

人类减少和气候变暖对日本鸟类种群影响的勘误表

应分别使用每个物种繁殖范围内年平均温度的中值和范围作为温度生态位位置和宽度的度量。被错误地用作温度生态位位置和宽度的变量分别是每个物种繁殖范围内的年平均温度范围和另一个温度生态位数据,这不是重点。对这些数据进行校正后,发现温度生态位位置和宽度之间呈正相关(r = 0.47)。在使用正确解释变量的重新分析中,温度生态位位置不显着(p = 0.138),但温度生态位宽度(p = 0.041显示为表2中的温度生态位位置),并且鸟类的温度生态位较窄下降的广度比最初的结果显示的要多。这些更正需要对图 2b 进行更改。
与这个错误相关的是,适应温暖的物种和适应寒冷的物种实际上分别是具有宽和窄温度生态位宽度的物种。相对于此修正,对图 3e 和 f 以及表 3 进行了修订。

总体而言,这些修改并没有改变我们的结论,即人类数量减少和气候变暖影响日本鸟类数量趋势。然而,这些结果并不支持我们的预测,即适应温暖的物种将比适应寒冷的物种表现出更积极的趋势(图 1)。相反,种群趋势与温度生态位宽度之间的正相关关系表明,温度生态位宽度较窄的物种在气候变化下比温度生态位宽度较宽的物种面临更大的风险。在日本,分布范围南端较温暖地区的鸟类丰度往往会下降,而分布范围北端较冷地区和海拔较高的地区则不会出现相应的种群数量增加(Y. Yamaura,2024 年,个人通讯) )。这些结果表明,温度生态位宽度窄的物种可能不太能够成功地改变其空间分布以应对气候变暖。
