Kinematics of jumping in leafhopper insects (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha,Cicadellidae)

There was an error published in the on-line version of J. Exp. Biol. 210, 3579-3589. The print version is correct.

The spacing of some of the data in Table 2 was incorrect. The correctly laid out Table is presented below.
