puffinus assimilis latin

Other taxa were initially assigned to the Little Shearwater and later moved to Audubon's.

The flesh-footed Shearwater and the little shearwater are both known to inhabit the island and use it as a breeding ground.

It was intermediate in size between the Manx Shearwater and the Little Shearwater.

It is occasionally listed as a subspecies of P. assimilis (the Little Shearwater), but they do not appear to be that closely related.

Among these species are the Shearwater Cinderella, Little Shearwater and the herring gull.

It was previously considered conspecific with the Little Shearwater (Puffinus assimilis) of the Southern Hemisphere.

The Little Shearwater (Puffinus assimilis) is a small shearwater in the petrel family Procellariidae.

If they are all placed in P. lherminieri, the North Atlantic Little Shearwater (otherwise often separated as P. baroli) is generally included here too.

First collected in 1963 and thought to be a Little Shearwater (Puffinus assimilis) it was determined using DNA analysis to be distinct in 2011.

The little-known Heinroth's Shearwater (P. heinrothi) is sometimes considered a subspecies of either Audubon's or the Little Shearwater.

Other similar-looking species are usually completely allopatric, though the largely subantarctic Little Shearwater (P. assimilis) may occasionally range into waters where P. lherminieri is normally found.

It is also important for breeding seabirds, including the Madeiran Storm-petrel, North Atlantic Little Shearwater and Cory's Shearwater.

Species that have caused particular problems include Black Kite, Great Snipe, Gyrfalcon, Gull-billed Tern, and North Atlantic Little Shearwater.

The Rapa Shearwater is usually treated as a subspecies of Little Shearwater (Puffinus assimilis) and named Puffinus assimilis myrtae.

Probably a close relative of the Little Shearwater or Audubon's Shearwater (with which it is sometimes considered conspecific), it is distinguished by a long and slender bill and a brown-washed underside.

Although some institutions (such as BirdLife International) retain the forms baroli and boydi within Little Shearwater, this is as a result of inaccurate lumping in the past, and is not supported by modern evidence.

Rather, P. lherminieri seems to belong to an ill-resolved clade also including such species as the Little Shearwater, the Manx Shearwater (P. puffinus) or the Black-vented Shearwater (P. opisthomelas).

Boyd's Shearwater (Puffinus boydi), also known as the Cape Verde Little Shearwater, is a small shearwater which breeds in the Cape Verde archipelago of the Atlantic Ocean some 570 km off the coast of West Africa.

The Barolo Shearwater (Puffinus baroli), also known as the North Atlantic Little Shearwater or Macaronesian Shearwater, is a small shearwater which breeds in the Azores and the Canary Islands of Macaronesia in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Birds we may spot include the Wandering Albatross, Royal Albatross, Black-browed Albatross, Light-mantled Sooty Albatross, Salvin's Albatross, Grey-headed Albatross, Northern and Southern Giant Petrel, Sooty Shearwater, and Little Shearwater.

The 'Little Shearwater' ('Puffinus assimilis'), sometimes called 'Southern Little Shearwater' to distinguish it from the North Atlantic Little Shearwater which was formerly included in this species, is a small shearwater in the seabird family Procellariidae.

It was previously considered conspecific with the Little Shearwater (Puffinus assimilis) of the Southern Hemisphere.
