[Tex/LaTex] @MastersThesis{} entry results in “MA thesis” output instead of “Master’s thesis” with biblatex

biberbiblatexciting

I use biber and biblatex for my citations. Strangely, if I use the @MastersThesis{} entry, it doesn't output

[96] Firstname Lastname. “Title goes here”. Master’s
thesis. University of the South Pole, YEAR.

which it should according to the biblatex manual but

[96] Firstname Lastname. “Title goes here”. MA
thesis. University of the South Pole, YEAR.

In my latex file, I use the following configuration

\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}
\usepackage[
    backend=biber,
    style=numeric,
    citestyle=nature,
    natbib=true,
    url=false, 
    doi=true,
    eprint=false
]{biblatex}

Removing the citestyle and natbib options doesn't help.
I can of course change it to "Master's thesis" using the type argument in each one of the entries. But that's annoying and I just want the default.
Thanks for your help.

When two variants exists for a term, then you get the longer term with the option abbreviate=false -- this affects naturally all other terms too.
