Abstract
In the original publication of this article (Biodivers Conserv 24:3469–3489, 2015), we mistakenly state that males of the subgenus Bombus sensu stricto can be determined to species based on genital morphology, while in fact the determination was based on coat characteristics. This does not allow for a separation of the species B. lucorum, B. magnus and B. cryptarum with certainty. Most males (97 %) were determined to B. terrestris, indicating that this species dominated also among workers. Because these species are both morphologically similar and share categorical traits they were, as stated in the paper, combined in all analyses, except for those regarding phylogenetic signals.
