Markedly polymorphic, several subspecies were described, and light birds were even considered a species on their own ("White-throated Storm-petrel"). Not even subspecies are generally accepted today however.

Its natural habitats are open seas, rocky shores, and sandy shores. It is threatened by introduced predators.
