The most recent such correction in the European Journal of Wildlife Research (EJWR) was on September 8.

At least three other similar corrections have appeared in EJWR in the last four years, with several more articles with missing ethics statements flagged on PubPeer by commenter “Pseudotocinclus tietensis.”"
