CHECKING AND CORRECTING A CLAIM

Science leaves room for corrections.

The sources behind a profile make its claims easier to check.

Check the scope

Identify the animal, the statement or image detail, and the cited evidence. Check whether the reference concerns the same species, an individual specimen or a broader group. Different estimates can be valid for different scopes.

Useful correction details

A useful correction identifies the profile, the specific claim, a supporting museum or research publication, and the relevant passage or figure. Distinguish a new result from a different interpretation of existing evidence.

Research changes

New discoveries can revise names, dates, reconstructed anatomy and estimates. The profile’s evidence notes and source list help explain those uncertainties.
