Results of BEST Bio-Env global analysis indicating which environmental variables amongst a set of 11 best-match decapod assemblage structure similarity matrices
http://plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0018606#pone-0018606-t008

Under the column "Best variable combination" in the last line the first word "invasives" should be the last word in the line above it (after "..inorganic pollution") and be replaced by "Organic pollution" as the first entry in the last line of that column.
