thumb thumb The common diving petrel (''Pelecanoides urinatrix''), also known as the smaller diving-petrel or simply the diving-petrel, is a diving petrel, one of four very similar auk-like small petrels of the southern oceans. It is native to South Africa and islands of the southern Indian Ocean, islands and islets off New Zealand and south-eastern Australian islands. ==Taxonomy and systematics== The German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin described the common diving petrel in 1789. Its specific name ''urinatrix'' is derived from the Latin ''urinator'' "diver". Alternate common names include: Falkland/Berard's diving petrel (''berard''); Kerguelen/Subantarctic diving petrel (''exsul''); Tristan diving petrel (remaining subspecies), Puffinure plongeur (in French), Lummensturmvogel (in German), and Potoyunco común (in Spanish). There are six subspecies, which vary in body measurements, particularly bill size: *''P. u. urinatrix'' (J. F. Gmelin, 1789) Australia, North Island (New Zealand) *''P. u. chathamensis'' Murphy & Harper, 1916 Stewart Island, Snares Islands, Chatham Islands (New Zealand) *''P. u. exsul'' Salvin, 1896 South Georgia, subantarctic islands of the Indian Ocean, Auckland Islands, Antipodes Island, Campbell Island *''P. u. dacunhae'' Nicoll, 1906 Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island *''P. u. berard'' (Gaimard, 1823) Falkland Islands *''P. u. coppingeri'' Mathews, 1912 uncertain, probably southern Chile 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「common diving petrel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
