current title incorrect due to double negatuve

The current title of the article is not correct due to a double negative. It should be 'fatherhood' rather than 'childlessness', so that it reads: "Testosterone Levels Are Negatively Associated with Fatherhood in Males, but Positively Related to Offspring Count in Fathers". We apologize for this error which we missed. We are grateful to David A. Kim (Harvard University) for pointing this out to us. We have contacted PLoS One to have the title of this article ammended accordingly.
