(Published online 29 February 2012) (doi:10.1098/rsbl.2012.0056)Owing to an error in our muscle physiological cross-sectional area calculations, the range of bite force estimates for four models in our original analysis (maximum and minimum values presented in table 2 of [1]) are approximately 6% too high. This relates specifically to error in our calculation of the effect of a 20° pennation angle on muscle physiological cross-sectional area in the sensitivity analysis carried out on our adult Alligator, Allosaurus, juvenile and adult Tyrannosaurus models. Because the error is consistent across models, none of the conclusions of the paper have changed. A corrected version of table 2 of [1] is as follows:Table 2.Corrected summary of initial, minimum and maximum bite force results.
