Zool. 273, 1–7. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7998.2007.00295.x There is an erroneous citation in the review article by Rantala (2007). The fourth paragraph of the right-hand column on page 4 (section ‘Adaptation-against-ectoparasites hypothesis’) incorrectly cites Hassanloo et al. (1995) as follows: The parasite hypothesis is also consistent with findings among certain animal species that indicate that animals with a short coat or none have a lower ectoparasite load than those with long hair (e.g. Hassanloo et al., 1995). The correct sentence and citation should read: The parasite hypothesis is also consistent with hair loss in naked mole rats, which live in large social groups below ground and ectoparasite load is expected to be high (Pagel & Bodmer, 2003). The author sincerely apologizes for this error. References Hassanloo, Z., Fenton, M.B., DeLaurier, J.D. & Eger, J.L. (1995). Fur increases the parasite drag for flying bats. Can. J.
