  EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS AMONG EXTANT ALBATROSSES (PROCELLARIIFORMES: DIOMEDEIDAE) ESTABLISHED FROM COMPLETE ...
From Diomedeidae to the Procellariidae, this computed value in- creased substantially to a mean value of 117.91% (n = 28, SD = 11.64) and identified the outgroup comparisons at codon third positions highly af- fected by multiple substitutions, i.e.
We therefore recommend a formal revision of the taxonomy of Diomedeidae to achieve a clas- sification congruent with the new phylogenetic hypothesis of relationships.
Within the Diomedeidae, however, both basal metabolic rate (Adams and Brown 1984) and age at first breeding (Jouventin and Wei- merskirch 1988) vary by much less than an or- der of magnitude, and evolutionary-rate cali- brations among the now well-established phy- logenetic lineages are possible.

Date : 10/23/2005 Time : 2:55:26 AM Albatross is the common name for large web-footed marine birds belonging to the family Diomedeidae, order Procellariiformes.
Some of the 13 or 14 species also are known as mollymawks or gooney birds.
Because of the albatross theme in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the bird's name has become a metaphor for a troublesome burden.
