The unique sequence obtained from the extinct P.
albus of Lord Howe Island suggests a close affinity to
Philippine P. p. pulverulentus, indicating that it was
perhaps a white color variant founded from P. p.
pulverulentus migrants. The flightless status of P. albus
appears to be equivocal, and the population seems to have
been polymorphic for plumage, with a high frequency of
white individuals (White 1790, Hindwood 1940, Greenway
1967). Aberrations in color have been found in some
insular populations, caused perhaps by an allele fixed
through a founder effect (Cunningham 1955, Steadman
2006, Uy et al. 2009). White Porphyrio occur intermittently,
and recent observations include an individual P. p.
melanotus in Otago, New Zealand (Trewick and Morgan-
Richards 2014). The Lord Howe population may have
been established from a small number of colonizing
individuals from the Philippines during the late Pleistocene
(~500 kya), but this would have involved dispersal
from the Philippines to Lord Howe Island over other
islands. We remain cautious about the short DNA
sequence obtained from P. albus.
