The white tern (''Gygis alba'', 1786) is a small seabird found across the tropical oceans of the world. It is sometimes known as the fairy tern although this name is potentially confusing as it is the common name of the fairy tern ''Sternula nereis''. Other names for the species include angel tern and white noddy. == Subspecies == The white tern has 3–4 subspecies: the nominate race ''G. a. alba'', ''G. a. leucopes'', the Pacific white tern (''G. a. candida''). Additionally, the little white tern (''G. microrhyncha'') was long and often is still included herein as a subspecies ''G. a. microrhyncha''.() *''G. a. alba'', (Sparrman, 1786): tropical islands of the south Atlantic *''G. a. candida'', (Gmelin, 1789): Seychelles & Mascarene Islands to central Pacific excluding ranges of next two ssp. *''G. a. microrhyncha'', (Saunders, 1876): Phoenix, Line and Marquesas Islands *''G. a. leucopes'', (Holyoak & Thibault, 1976): Pitcairn Islands 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「White tern」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
