The Tahiti petrel (Pseudobulweria rostrata) is a medium-sized, dark brown and white seabird found across the Pacific Ocean. The species comprises two subspecies: P. r. rostrata which breeds in the west-central Pacific Ocean, and P. r. trouessarti which breeds in the tropical and subtropical Pacific Ocean.[1][2] The Tahiti petrel belongs to the Procellariidae family and is the most studied member of the Pseudobulweria genus which comprises three critically endangered species.[3] Similarly, the Tahiti petrel is considered near threatened by the 2018 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1] Threats include introduced rats, feral cats, pigs, dogs, nickel mining, and light pollution.[4][5][1]
