Change Type: Correction
Change Details: Shortly after publication it was brought to authors��� attention that two of the��<i>cox</i>1 sequences reported in the study, those of <i>Neoechinorhynchus tylosuri</i> (MN692675) and <i>Transvena annulospinosa</i> (MN692690) were potentially erroneous. After investigation, it was determined that this was indeed the case and was caused by contamination of original sequencing results. They were found to be near-duplicates of other species from the same sequencing batch. These sequences have been removed from GenBank. Unfortunately, this means that no <i>cox</i>1 sequence data were provided for the above two species in the referenced study. The remaining <i>cox</i>1 sequences reported have been checked and are reliable. Furthermore, <i>cox</i>1 sequence data were not analysed as part of the study, and thus the above error does not affect the results or conclusions of the study. Corrections to the text in reference to the above are made in Table��1 (removal of the above GenBank accession numbers), on page 10 (���Sequence data for all three targeted markers were obtained for <b>13</b> (rather than 15) of the 17 acanthocephalan species studied���) and on page 19 (���We generated new <i>cox1</i> sequence data for all but <b>three</b> (rather than one) of the acanthocephalan species from our collection������).
