	Our Beautiful World: Albatrosses on the way out....?
		During the latest nesting season, the fl-browed albatross (Diomedea melanophris) population on Beauchene Island, one of the Falklands group, was down to 101,000 pairs, from 160,000 pairs in the early Eighties.
		Studies on Bird Island in South Georgia, found that 1,500 out of a population of 22,000 fl-browed, 500 out of 20,000 grey-headed (D chrysostema) and 45 out of 4,000 wandering albatrosses (D exulans) fail to return each year, and that the longliner operations are the chief suspect.
		Euan Dunn, marine policy officer for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, said: "There are very real fears that if this crisis is not overcome there will be big population crashes, with maybe 20 species facing extinction.

	Exulans - Why
		It can be observed that large, high-efficiency birds like the Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans) are not equipped with aerodynamically working controlling tails.
		In normal flight their tails are not spread and therefore cannot account for much controlling action nor contribute significantly towards stability.
		The Exulans is to demonstrate that the implementation of this control strategy can reduce trim drag and requires less wing area and thereby improves overall efficiency.

		Population dynamics of the wandering albatross Diomedea exulans at Marion Island: longline fishing and environmental influences
		The subantarctic Prince Edward Islands (Marion and Prince Edward) support the largest breeding population of the Vulnerable wandering albatross Diomedea exulans.
		The number of birds breeding at Marion Island has fluctuated over the past three decades apparently as a result of both real changes in the size of the population and changes in the proportion of the population that attempts to breed in a given year.

		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.

		Subspecies : Two to three subspecies are recognised but this species varies considerably in size and undergoes a complex age-related sequence of plumages.
		Breeders on Inaccessible, Gough, Auckland, Campbell and Antipodes are usually placed in exulans with the remainder of range occupied by chionoptera but Inaccessible and Gough Island birds are sometimes placed in dabbenena.
