Hi, @PaulK and @ACWadmin1 !
It looks like both of these issues have already been resolved (there is no default species in occurrenceSearch now, and the second spurious Lycaon_pictus, presumably added by a bulk import, has been removed [and, incidentally, if I recall correctly contributed to some matching issues]).
The fact that the users in occurrenceSearch weren’t sorted in alphabetical order was driving me personally nuts, so I made a ticket WB-1775 for it and went ahead and knocked it out and deployed it.
Marked as resolved, but let me know if otherwise!
Cheers,
Mark
