The journal and the authors apologise for an error in the above titled article published in this journal (vol 144, pp 433–445). The authors inadvertently presented duplicate sperm images for XY and XESxrbO mouse testes of Fig. 6 (bottom panels). This error does not change the findings of the paper, as this figure does not give a quantitative breakdown of the proportions of different shapes.

The correct Fig. 6 is published below along with the corresponding legend.

Figure 6
Figure 6

Sperm tail development is observed in XESxrbO male mice. Silver stained sperm smears from 6-week-old XY, XSxraO, XEOSry and XESxrbO mouse testes. The top panel is a low magnification of the smear, showing the relative density of the cells found in each specimen. The bottom panel is a montage of the elongated spermatids/sperm found in each sample. Note that no elongated spermatids could be found in the XEOSry sample and what we believe to be the arrested round spermatids are presented instead. An example of the most characteristic sperm head for each genotype is represented at a higher magnification in the inset of the bottom panels. Scale bar: 32.5 µm (top panel); 20 µm (bottom panel).
