• Following publication of the manuscript, David Bellwood pointed out that the functional group assignment for 4 of the 26 considered were misclassified. Specifically, perspicillatus and are excavators and Ctenochaetus hawaiiensis and Ctenochaetus strigosus are detritivores or particulate feeders (Bellwood & Choat 1990, Bonaldo et al. 2014, Tebbett et al. 2017). However, in our paper the former 2 species were referred to as scrapers and the latter 2 species as grazers based on information contained within the citations we provided on p. 3−4 of the published manuscript. To acknowledge these misclassifications, Table S1 in Supplement 2 (www.int-res.com/articles/ suppl/m575p001_supp.pdf) has been revised.

• In addition, throughout the manuscript readers should consider any reference to ‘scrapers’ to imply ‘scrapers and excavators’ and any reference to ‘grazers’ to imply ‘grazers and detritivores’.

• Finally, we note that these corrections — while important in terms of their implications about the ecosystem functions of the herbivorous we studied — do not relate to the main focus of our analysis, which was to estimate depletion from unfished biomass using herbivores as an example group.
