1. There was a mistake in the writing of the cell growth term in Equation (2a) as published. The correct version appears below.

$\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\partial p(t,x)}{\partial t}=\underset{\text{cell growth}=\frac{\partial J(t,x)}{\partial x}}{\underbrace{\frac{{\xi }^2}{2}\frac{{\partial }^{2}p(t,x)}{\partial x^2}-\mu \frac{\partial p(t,x)}{\partial x}}}+\underset{\text{division}}{\underbrace{2f_{X_d}(x)Z-f_{X_m}(x)Z}}-\underset{\text{normalization}}{\underbrace{p(t,x)Z}}& (1)\end{array}$

2. The same mistake is repeated in equation (A2a). The correct version appears below.

$\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\partial p(t,x)}{\partial t}=\underset{\text{cell growth}=\frac{\partial J(t,x)}{\partial x}}{\underbrace{\frac{{\xi }^2}{2}\frac{{\partial }^{2}p(t,x)}{\partial x^2}-\mu \frac{\partial p(t,x)}{\partial x}}}+\underset{\text{division}}{\underbrace{4f_{X_d}(x)Z-f_{X_m}(x)Z}}-\underset{\text{normalization}}{\underbrace{3p(t,x)Z}}\text{being}& (2)\end{array}$
