In the original article, there was an error. In the pedigree of the population, some offspring from 2013 and 2014 were considered as originating from their nest of rearing, not the nest where they hatched before being cross-fostered. We corrected these miss-assignments in the pedigree and re-fitted the models.

A correction has been made to the Results section, first paragraph:

Nevertheless, the day of choice (95% CI = [−0.517; 0.576]) did not explain the probability to copy (Appendix S5). Similarly, the proportion of boxes occupied by tits on the day of choice was greater in 2012, but this variable did not affect the probability to copy (95% CI = [−3.687; 3.419], Appendix S5). As could be expected, when a symbol was overrepresented on the empty boxes in a given patch, the probability to choose a box with this symbol was higher than random (95% CI = [3.725; 20.103], Table 3).

Posterior modes and credible intervals of the final animal model fitting the probability to copy the tit preference.

Estimates for the selected fixed and random effects are given on the latent scale with the residual variance VR set to 10. See Table 1 for a detailed description of the fixed effects. For the male categorical status variable (Status ♂), older immigrant males are considered as the group of reference. VA♀ and VA♂, sex-specific additive genetic variances; VD♀ and VD♂, sex-specific dominance variances; VM♀ and VM♂, sex-specific maternal identity variances; VPE♀ and VPE♂, sex-specific variances associated to the permanent environment effect (individual identities); VY, variance associated to the year; VN, variance associated to the nest box; VR, residual variance. h♀2 and h♂2, sex-specific narrow-sense heritability estimates; T2, proportion of phenotypic variance explained by the total sex-specific additive genetic effects.

A correction has been made to the Results section, sub-section “Age, Experience, and Environmental Effects on the Probability to Copy”:

Based on the animal model output, pairs including a yearling male were more likely to copy compared to pairs including an older immigrant male (56.0% of copying over the years, against 47.3% for pairs with an old immigrant male; 95% CI = [0.145; 1.746], Tables 2, 3, Figure 2). Pair experience with symbols, defined as whether both or one partner was naive or had experience with symbol choice had no effect on the probability to copy, even though we got a slight trend for mixed pair to reject tit preference (95% CI = [−2.064;0.174], Appendix S5).

Figure 2

A correction has been made to the Results section, sub-section “Quantitative Genetics of the Probability to Copy”:

There was no cross-sex additive genetic covariance in the probability to copy (95% CI = [0.024; 0.029] in the full model).

A correction has been made to the Appendix S3, S4, and S5, and the corrected file is available using the link provided hereafter.
