Abstract
The names we give organisms matter to conservation efforts (Mace 2004). Currently, there are calls to reevaluate nomenclatural conventions in biology, to recognize indigenous priority (Gilman & Wright, 2020) and to engage with the history of colonialism (Pillon, 2021). The description of a new whale species in the Southern Hemisphere, Mesoplodon eueu, or Ramari's beaked whale, included engagement with Indigenous people (Carroll et al., 2021) showing that norms around naming marine mammal species appear to be evolving.
