CORRIGENDA

In the article by C. SCHLÖTTERER, C. VOGL and D. TAUTZ (GENETICS 146: 309–320, May 1997) entitled "Polymorphism and locus-specific effects on polymorphism at microsatellite loci in natural Drosophila melanogaster populations" APPENDIX A has the following corrections:

Page 318, column 2, lines 15–25, should be replaced with: "and equal mutation rates among populations, the sum of the squared differences of the row-means from the grand mean weighted by the inverse of the variance,

is approximately chi-square distributed with (L - 1) degrees of freedom under the assumption of equal population sizes of all populations.

The sum of the squared differences of the column-means from the grand mean weighted by the inverse of the variance,

is approximately chi-square distributed with (K - 1) degrees of freedom, under the assumption of equal mutation rates at all loci."

On page 318, column 2, the formula given in line 27 has (L - 1)(K - 1) degrees of freedom, and page 318, column 2, lines 30–36, should read "For large K and L, deviation might be attributed to a particular locus-population combination by multiplying vkl - ukl with

The level of significance {alpha} can be looked up from a table for the normal distribution. To account for multiple testing the specified experimentwise error rate {alpha}E can be corrected by the Bonferroni method, {alpha}E = for a one-sided test and {alpha}E = for a two-sided test." The conclusions of the article are not affected by the corrigendum.
