Xxxx et al. No. 2:16- cv-01024-RSM (W.D. Wash.).
Xxxx et al. Case Nos. 2CCV-24-0000668, 2CCV-24-0000800, 2CCV-24-0000801, 2CCV-24-0000802 (Haw. Cir. Ct.). Subrogation Plaintiffs also include any other insurance carriers with subrogation claims arising out of the Maui Fires that are represented by any law firm in those actions, and, for the avoidance of doubt, other Persons to whom any insurance carrier has assigned the rights, title, interest, or proceeds of a subrogation claim arising out of the Maui Fires.
Xxxx et al. (1996) did not include DNA xxxxxxxx xxxx from either antipodensis or gibsoni in their analyses but provided convincing justification for splitting the genus Diomedea into Diomedea, Thalassarche and Phoebastria.
Xxxx et al. (1996) only included DNA xxxxxxxx xxxx from xxxxxxx but provided convincing justification for the placement of Xxxxxx’x Albatrosses in the genus Thalassarche. Similarly, no molecular data for platei were presented in Xxxx & Xxxxxxx (1998).
Xxxx et al. (2002) reported that of an estimated 19 – 30,000 seabirds killed by longliners in South African waters, 69% were albatrosses. Of these, approximately 64% were shy-type albatrosses. Equal numbers of adult and subadult shy-type albatrosses were present among those birds returned to port for identification. Later genetic analyses suggested that steadi dominate the shy-type albatrosses killed by longline fisheries operating in South African waters (100% steadi, N= 24, Xxxxxx et al. in press).

Xxxx et al. 2001; Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx et al. 2002; Birdlife International 2004; Xxxxxx et al. 2004), molecular genetic analyses (x.x. Xxxx & Xxxxxxx 2001; Xxxxxx & Double 2003b; Xxxxxx & Double 2003a; Xxxx & Xxxxxxx 2004) and morphometric analyses (x.x. Xxxxxxxx et al. 2003b; Double et al. 2003) are all likely to influence the taxonomic decision-making process and potentially the content of species lists. Much of the present taxonomic confusion surrounding albatrosses followed the publication of a phylogenetic study by Xxxx et al. (1996). Prior to this study the number of albatross species was considered to be 14. However, using data from Xxxx et al. (1996) and other behavioural and morphometric data, Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxx (1998) proposed a new ‘interim’ taxonomy which recognised 24 albatross species. Unfortunately the taxonomic decisions presented in their book chapter were not always supported by published, peer-reviewed scientific data and thus much controversy has surrounded the decisions therein. Following Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxx’x publication there has been no consensus over the number of albatross species among scientists, governments or conservation organisations. For example, of the two most recent books that discuss albatross taxonomy, one described 24 species (Xxxxxxxx 2002) whereas the other recognised only 21 (Brooke 2004). Similarly, Birdlife International lists 21 albatross species (xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) whereas the preliminary ACAP species lists are based on two taxonomies of 14 and 24 species (xxx.xxxx.xx). Only recently Penhallurick and Wink (2004) reviewed the genetic data published by Xxxx et al. (1996) and argued the data supported the recognition of only 13 albatross species. The scientific logic adopted by Xxxxxxxxxxxx & Xxxx (2004) was criticised by Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx (2005) who argued that later genetic studies (x.x. Xxxx & Xxxxxxx 2001; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx 2003a; Xxxx & Xxxxxxx 2004) not considered by Penhallurick & Xxxx (2004) support the recognition of at least some of the ‘new species’ proposed by Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxx (1998). Taxonomic consensus is probably an unachievable goal. However, we believe that the current taxonomic confusion primarily exists due to a combination of three factors. First, as explained earlier, the identification of species boundaries among albatrosses and petrels is very difficult. Second, the veracity of the peer review process is variable and the process itself is fallible. Thus, unfortunately, less-than-robust taxonomic recommendations have b...
