Report of the Taxonomy Working Group. 10.1.1 The Convenor of the Taxonomy Working Group (TWG) Xx Xxxx Xxxxxx presented the Report of the TWG (AC13 Doc 10 Rev 1). He thanked Working Group members for their work, noting that the Terms of Reference for the WG remain unchanged since AC12. 10.1.2 The TWG Convenor welcomed two new members to the WG, Xx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, (Brazil) and Xx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (New Zealand). 10.1.3 Based on recommendations from the TWG, AC13 agreed that the taxonomic treatment of both Xxxxxx’x Thalassarche bulleri and Short-tailed Phoebastria albatrus Albatrosses should not change despite additions to the evidence on the taxonomy of the two species. 10.1.4 New Zealand advised that data had been collected on the morphometrics of X. xxxxxxx and on the plumage of Antipodean Albatross Diomedea antipodensis breeding on the Antipodean and Auckland Islands. A whole-genome analysis for Antipodean Albatross was also reported to be underway. This information will further inform the taxonomic treatment of these species. 10.1.5 AC13 discussed the possible future change in accepted taxonomic treatment of ACAP-listed Balearic Shearwater Puffinus mauretanicus as either synonymous with Yelkouan Shearwater P. yelkouan or a sub-species of Yelkouan Shearwater that might follow from a recent scientific publication. 10.1.6 The Committee noted advice from Australia that species, subspecies or populations could be listed in Annex 1 of the Agreement. Article I (1) of the Agreement was to be read together with Article I (2)(a) that further defines the terms ‘albatross’ and ‘petrel’. Read together, the terms ‘albatross’ and ‘petrel’ in Article I (1) of the Agreement could refer to a species, subspecies or population of the albatross or petrel. This was relevant to possible future approaches to the listing in Annex 1 to the Agreement of Balearic Shearwater

Report of the Taxonomy Working Group. 9.1.1 The Chair of the Taxonomy Working Group (TWG), Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, introduced the WG report (AC2 Doc.11). The report recalled that,the Scientific Meeting (MOP1; ScM1; Section 4.6) recommended that as a first step, the Taxonomy Working Group should aim to reach consensus about the three main contentious albatross species splits; namely Xxxxxx’x and Antipodean albatrosses (Diomedea antipodensis/gibsoni), shy and white-capped albatrosses (Thalassarche cauta/steadi) and Xxxxxx’x and Pacific albatrosses (X. xxxxxxx/platei). 9.1.2 The TWG report summarises and assesses scientific data relevant to these three main contentious species splits. 9.1.3 The TWG unanimously agreed on the following: • that available data do not warrant the recognition of Xxxxxx’x and Antipodean albatrosses or Xxxxxx’x and Pacific albatrosses at the specific level; • to adopt a subspecific nomenclature for these taxa; and • that data suggest shy and white-capped albatrosses are divergent and diagnosable and therefore, following the taxonomic guidelines, warrant recognition at the specific level.

Report of the Taxonomy Working Group. 12.1.1 The Convenor of the Taxonomy Working Group (TWG), Xx Xxxx Xxxxxx, introduced the Report of the Taxonomy Working Group (AC10 Doc 12). 12.1.2 New Zealand noted the potential for collaboration between Working Groups in sharing information that would assist in better identification of the Wandering albatrosses. 12.1.3 The Convenor re-iterated that the TWG is always available to re-examine any taxonomic decisions, including intersessionally, as per its Terms of Reference. 12.1.4 The Convenor of TWG encouraged further membership of the Working Group by interested parties. 12.1.5 Brazil advised that it will consult with national experts to investigate the availability of additional TWG members. 12.1.6 The AC Chair noted that it was good to see the TWG re-invigorated.

Report of the Taxonomy Working Group. 11.1.1 The AC Chair advised the meeting that no report had been submitted by the Taxonomy Working Group (TWG) as it had not been active since AC7. 1 “SCAR’s indicated area of interest includes Antarctica, its offshore islands, and the surrounding Southern Ocean including the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the northern boundary of which is the Subantarctic Front. Subantarctic islands that lie north of the Subantarctic Front and yet fall into SCAR's area of interest include: Ile Amsterdam, Ile St Xxxx, Macquarie Island and Xxxxx Island.” xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/what-we-do/interdisciplinary-bodies/scar/ 11.1.2 Australia considered it important to ensure the taxonomy used by ACAP continues to be seen as the global ‘standard’ for ACAP-listed species, including by other international agreements such as the Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Fauna (CMS). Australia proposed that TWG seek updates to albatross and petrels species names listed under the CMS appendices to harmonise the listings with those on Annex 1 to ACAP, and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Report of the Taxonomy Working Group. 11.1.1 The Convenor of the Taxonomy Working Group (TWG) Xx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx introduced the TWG report (AC3 Doc 12). The TWG applied their decision-making guidelines to three pairs of taxa currently listed under Annex 1 (AC3 Doc 12, Attachment 1) of the ACAP Agreement: 1. Amsterdam and Wandering Albatrosses 2. Black and Westland petrels Procellaria parkinsoni /westlandica 3. Xxxxxxxx and Black-browed albatrosses 11.1.2 The TWG concluded that available data for these taxa do not call for an amendment to the species currently listed under Annex 1 of the ACAP Agreement. 11.1.3 The TWG report also assessed the listing of subspecies within Annex 1 of the Agreement. The TWG reviewed this issue and concluded that currently the conservation and understanding of the ACAP listed taxa would not be enhanced greatly by listing subspecific forms. 11.1.4 The TWG also reported on the development of a plumage and morphometric database for the identification and classification of bycatch specimens. This database will be incorporated into the ACAP Data Portal. The TWG report also noted that the TWG’s website had been moved to the Secretariat’s web server, and the associated bibliography updated. 11.1.5 The TWG report noted Case 3449 to be assessed by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/). This case proposes that Thalassarche melanophris is the correct spelling for the scientific name of the Black-browed albatross (rather than Thalassarche melanophrys).

Report of the Taxonomy Working Group. 10.1.1 The TWG Convenor advised the meeting that no report had been submitted by the TWG as there were no active tasks to report on since the last AC, but that the TWG is always available to respond to any issues that may arise, as per its Terms of Reference. 10.1.2 Australia requested a report be submitted to AC12 on changes to the taxonomy of Procellariiformes arising in the intersessional period, and suggested that this could be an ongoing task for the TWG. 10.1.3 The TWG Convenor advised that the TWG does keep up to date with such changes and confirmed that there have been no recent amendments to names or to the taxonomic treatment of the relevant species. The IOC list of species is updated every six months but there have been no changes within the Procellariiformes. He also confirmed that the most recent version of the IOC list would always be used when updating the suitability and priority of candidate species for listing on Annex 1 of the Agreement.
