In Condor Volume 107 Number 3 (August 2005), the paper “Blood
metabolite and corticosterone levels in breeding adult pied
flycatchers,” by Michael Kern et al., contained a copyediting
error. On p. 674, the second paragraph of “Perspectives” should
read as follows (correction highlighted in boldface red font):
“The metabolites that are most useful in this regard are (1)
triglycerides, whose titers increase when a bird fattens and decrease
when it fasts, and (2) free fatty acids, glycerol, and
β-hydroxybutyrate, all of
which increase
during fasting.” The editors regret the error.
