In the version of the article initially published, affiliation 30 was incorrect and has now been updated to Plant Ecology Group, Department of Evolution and Ecology, University of Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany. Additionally, Pierre Liancourt’s second affiliation (State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany) was missing and has now been added. These changes have been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
