In the second and third sentences of the abstract "wet weight" should read "dry weight". The second and third sentences of the abstract should read:

Lead concentrations (ANOVA, p < 0.001) in Red-necked Stints (geomean = 9.61 µg g–1 dry weight) were higher than in Terek Sandpipers (geomean = 5.56 µg g–1 dry weight) which in turn were higher than in Great Knots (geomean = 2.78 µg g–1 dry weight). Cadmium concentrations (ANOVA, p < 0.001) were higher in Great Knots (geomean = 2.97 µg g–1 dry weight) and in Red-necked Stints (geomean = 2.70 µg g–1 dry weight) than in Terek Sandpipers (geomean = 0.33 µg g–1 dry weight).


The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for this error and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
