      <supplinf>2023-11-07: Short-finned pilot whale was linked to Globicephala melas (ITIS TSN 552461) by error. This is fixed. Short-finned pilot whale is now linked to Globicephala macrorhynchus (ITIS TSN 180466).&#xD;
2007-03-26: common name for &lt;i&gt;Eubalaena glacialis&lt;/i&gt; is changed from historical black right whale to Northern right whale sighting.</supplinf>
