thread_title:  NZ population estimate is grossly wrong 

message: Wait a second, the stuff mentioned under Conservation and the Conservation status symbols do not match. Either one is out-dated or someone's been messing with it, the symbol says it is in the "Least Concern" category while the article says it should be endangered. Can someone take a look at this? - 120.136.5.36 (talk) 07:07, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conservation status symbol things. 

message: An interesting article just published: .
In short, barnacles from a species which is currently only found on the southern right whale have been identified in a Spanish cave, dating to ~14,000 years ago; this was near the end of the last glacial period, and the authors suggest that this may be the result of changes to ocean circulation cooling the waters around the Equator and allowing the southern populations to drift north. (They also note the alternative that an individual simply got lost!) Perhaps worth mentioning in passing in the distribution section - are there any other known cases of a southern right outside of the normal range? Andrew Gray (talk) 15:55, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
