While preparing voucher specimens, we became aware that a specimen previously identified as Osmia tersula was in fact O. pikei. It is possible that other individuals labelled as O. tersula in this study were also misidentified; however, this cannot be verified, as the others did not survive to adulthood. Osmia tersula and O. pikei are closely related species belonging to the same subgenus (Melanosmia); both have a generalist pollen diet (for O. pikei, see Cripps and Rust [1,2]). Furthermore, as reported in the original article, our results are robust to the exclusion of O. tersula’. Therefore, the conclusions of our study are not affected by the identification error.
