ERRATUM

In the recent paper by J. M. Kalwij, H. H. Wagner, and C. Scheidegger (2005), ‘‘Effects of stand-level disturbances on the spatial distribution of a lichen indicator,’’Ecological Applications15(6):2015–2024, the key to the shading of the histogram bars in the bottom panel of Fig. 2 is given incorrectly in the legend. The legend should have indicated that the dark gray bars represent colonized host trees, and the light gray bars represent uncolonized host trees.
