Error in wet season/dry season assignments for Mariana Islands

Posted by hrogers on 29 Jan 2013 at 19:32 GMT

The colors indicating the effect size in the wet season and the dry season for the Mariana Islands should be reversed. The dot that is currently green should instead be blue to indicate that the effect size in the dry season was 2.3. Similarly, the blue dot should be green to indicate that the effect size in the wet season was 40.8.
