There was an error in Journal of Experimental Biology (2019) 223, jeb210286 (doi: 10.1242/jeb.210286).

The authors inadvertently transposed the explanations of the colours in Fig. 4. HTC models in red are with the rate of temperature change due to internal heat production and those in blue are without the rate of temperature change due to internal heat production. The original and corrected figures and legends are shown here.

Fig. 4 (corrected).

Relationship between the response time lag (τ) and the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) for whale sharks. Data are shown for whale sharks C1 (A), C2 (B) and W1 (C). Filled and open symbols indicate the fixed heat-transfer coefficient (HTC) models and the variable HTC models, respectively. Red squares and blue circles indicate the models of temperature change with and without the rate of temperature change due to internal heat production, respectively.
