Description

Classification: Genus Puffinus (Puffinus); Family Shearwaters and petrels (Procellariidae)
General: The Galápagos shearwater (Puffinus subalaris) is a small shearwater. Until recently it was considered to be a subspecies of Audubon's shearwater, but it is actually one of two members of a very ancient lineage of the small Puffinus species, the other being, as indicated by mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data, the Christmas shearwater.^[3] [more]
