The column heading "Mortality per 104 km2" for Tables 4–9 appears incorrectly. Please see the corrected Tables 4–9 here.

Total mortality, mortality per 100,000 km2 and percent of total study area mortality are reported for each BIA.

In the Results and Discussion sections, the units for "mortality per area" and "strike intensity" also appear incorrectly. The correct units for "mortality per area" and "strike intensity" should be 105 km2.
