The original Figure 3 was adversely affected by imaging artefacts as a result of low-resolution scanning that diminished the quality of the data. A high-resolution image corresponding to Figure 3 can be found at the following URL: http://www.plosone.org/corrections/pone.0003300.g003.cn.tif (3.6 MB).The new image is fully consistent with the original images and completely supports the conclusions in the article.
