摘要
The Mascarene Petrel Pseudobulweria aterrima is one of the least-known petrels. Together with the discovery and description of a third specimen for the twentieth century, we provide the first information on its identification at sea, as well as its distribution south of Reunion Island. We also estimate the current population size at sea at ca. 1,000 birds, which suggests a current breeding population of 250 pairs, perhaps less.
