TL;DR: The authors suggest that concentrations of 1mg/kg/day referring to the Japanese quail should be of clothianidin, rather than imidacloprid, and that the following text on p110 should be removed.

On p109, in Table 2, both concentrations of 1mg/kg/day referring to the Japanese quail should be of clothianidin, rather than imidacloprid.
In addition, the following text on p110 should be removed:
While imidacloprid is highly toxic to Japanese quail, with an LD50 of 31 mg/kg, chronic daily doses of only 1 mg/kg/day can lead to testicular anomalies, DNA damage in males, and reductions in embryo size when those males are mated with control females.
And replaced with:
While clothianidin is moderately toxic to Japanese quail, with an LD50 of 423 mg/kg, chronic daily doses of only 1 mg/kg/day can lead to testicular anomalies, DNA damage in males, and reductions in embryo size when those males are mated with control females.

TL;DR: Dermal contact with OP pesticides during over-wintering in agricultural areas resulted in low levels of chlorpyrifos and long time retention on the feet of a subset of songbirds.
