note

My edit 18 Aug 2024: I commented out (hid) the phylogeny from the 'Taxonomy in flux' website — while it may be accurate, this is not a peer-reviewed website, so its quality is circumspect. It might be best deleted from the page, but will wait to see what others think. It would be better to check other peer-reviewed sources for the phylogeny. I also removed "or an auklet" from the etymology; even if it says this in Jobling, this is a manifest nonsense, as no auklets ever occurred anywhere remotely near Greece where the Ancient Greek name αυθυια originates - MPF (talk) 22:59, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
