The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is an online resource, which provides the most comprehensive database of scientific names of marine organisms (WoRMS, 2018). WoRMS is regularly retrieved by multidisciplinary researchers around the globe, regarded as a source of reliable taxonomic information. The database is continuously improved by taxonomic experts, which frequently have to address issues raised by users and other editors (Costello et al., 2013). This study is a result of one of these exchanges of knowledge stimulated by WoRMS.
