- Petrel abstract "Petrels are tube-nosed seabirds in the bird order Procellariiformes. The common name does not indicate relationship beyond that point, as \"petrels\" occur in three of the four families within that group (except the albatross family, Diomedeidae). Having a fossil record that was assumed to extend back at least 60 million years, the Procellariiformes was long considered to be among the older bird groupings, other than the ratites, with presumably distant ties to penguins and loons. However, recent research and fossil finds such as Vegavis show that the Galliformes (pheasants, grouse and relatives), and Anseriformes (ducks, geese) are still not fully resolved. An old world petrel has been found in Biarritz. Its name is Biarritz rock petrel.All the members of the order are exclusively pelagic in distribution — returning to land only to breed. The family Procellariidae is the main radiation of medium-sized true petrels, characterised by united nostrils with medium septum, and a long outer functional primary. It is dominant in the Southern Oceans, but not so in the Northern Hemisphere.It includes a number of petrel groups, the relationships between which have finally been resolved to satisfaction.The fulmarine petrels: seven species of surface predators and filter feeders, breed in high latitudes but migrate along cool currents to the north. All but Fulmarus are essentially confined to the south, Fulmarus apparently colonised the Northern Hemisphere during the Early Miocene.The huge giant petrels, genus Macronectes, which are convergent with the albatrossesThe true fulmars, genus FulmarusAntarctic petrel Thalassoica antarcticaCape petrel Daption capenseSnow petrel Pagodroma niveaBiarritz Rock Petrel Daption CostaThe prions: A specialised group of a few very numerous species, all southern. They have a small, fulmar-like form and mostly filter-feed on zooplankton. Pachyptila, the prions properThe procellariine petrels, larger or mid-sized species feeding on fish and molluscs which are fairly close to the prions: Procellaria BulweriaShearwaters: numerous species in several genera with a medium number of species. Calonectris Puffinus, which is in fact two rather distinct groups of larger and smaller species Pseudobulweria Kerguelen petrel Lugensa brevirostrisThe gadfly petrels: These are a considerable number of agile short-billed petrels in the genus Pterodroma which include the endangered Bermuda petrel or cahow and a considerable number of forms rendered extinct by human activity.The family Hydrobatidae is the storm petrels, small pelagic petrels with a fluttering flight which often follow ships.The family Pelecanoididae is the four species of diving petrels, genus Pelacanoides. These are auk-like small petrels of the southern oceans.The word \"petrel\" comes from the Latin name for the Christian Saint Peter, and refers to the habits of certain species to hover just above the ocean waves, with their feet barely touching the water, thus giving an appearance of walking on water, as St. Peter is said to have done.".
