 Black-footed Albatross
Diomedea nigripes has the bill much thicker, or less compressed than the other two species; its ridge very broad and convex at the base, its basal outline being semicircular and two inches in extent, so that its sides behind overlap and obliterate the sutural space behind the nostrils.
Diomedea chlororhyncos has the bill much compressed, its ridge convex in its whole length, but with its basal outline, although semicircular, only half an inch in extent, so that between its margins and those of the sides of the bill there is behind the eye a space nearly a quarter of an inch in breadth.
Diomedea fusca has the bill as much compressed as that of D. chlororhyncos; but its ridge, in place of being convex, is carinate, and instead of having its base semicircular, as in the other two species, has it running up on the forehead into a very acute angle.

 Nudibranch of the Week is Tritonia diomedea
The nudibranch gastropod Tritonia diomedea Bergh (1894) inhabits subtidal waters (5-750 m) in the northern Pacific Ocean [Japan to Panama?] (Bergh 1894, McDonald 1983, MacFarland 1966).
diomedea is often found with a characteristic assemblage of animals including the nudibranch Armina californica and the sea star Pycnopodia helianthoides (Birkeland 1974).

 Nudibranch of the Week is Tritonia diomedea
T. diomedea will also feed on the Californian sea pansy Renilla köllikeri in the laboratory although it is unknown if they do so in nature.
T. diomedea lives among beds of these soft corals on flat or gently sloping soft bottoms of sand or silt.
The easiest way to distinguish T. diomedea from its cohabitant T. festiva is that T. diomedea has more than 15 oral veil tips, and from the yellow Tochuina tetraquetra is by color.

 Digimorph - Diomedea immutabilis (Laysan Albatross)
Diomedea immutabilis, although still a large bird, is small in size for an albatross (only 79-81 cm long, compared to other albatrosses that may reach sizes of 125 cm in length).
When observed in the air, albatrosses appear incredibly gracefully, using a combination of 'dynamic' and 'slope' soaring; however, their landing often may be described as somewhat clumsy.

More importantly Elysia diomedea almost certainly gets some of its nutitrition from plant organelles (chloroplasts) that it stores in its body.

Full advice follows: Advice to the Minister for the Environment from the Endangered Species Scientific Subcommittee (ESSS) on proposals to add species to Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (the Act) 1.
The small population size of some species makes then particularly susceptible to extinction.
In reaching this judgement ESSS noted that the recommended species meet the IUCN Red List criteria for the Red List Categories 'Lower Risk (near threatened)' or 'Data Deficient' as assessed by Dr Gales.

At the first session of the Meeting of Parties to ACAP it was agreed that the Advisory Committee should establish a working group on the taxonomy of albatrosses and petrels.
As a first step, this group should aim to reach consensus about the three most contentious albatross species splits; namely, Diomedea antipodensis/gibsoni, Thalassarche cauta/steadi and T. bulleri/platei.
The results of recent genetic analysis in conjunction with all other available biological information should be considered as part of this work.
