AC14 Doc Sample Clauses

AC14 Doc. 11 reported on progress with: a photographic catalogue to attempt to improve field identification of the Wandering Albatross complex Diomedea exulans sensu lato; a sequence gap analysis for ACAP species along with evaluation of sequence availability for three commonly used markers for species detection; and updating non-ACAP Procellariformes taxonomy to reflect the latest IOC checklist. TWG also undertook a third Assessment of Taxonomic Status of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Albatross Thalassarche bulleri and concluded that new evidence is not enough to support a split of this species (as the new evidence was based on a small sample size). One study indicated that Balearic Puffinus mauretanicus and Yelkouan P. yelkouan shearwaters were the same species, but the IOC had not taken a decision as yet.
