Aethia is a genus of four small (85–300g) auklets endemic to the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea and Sea of Okhotsk and among some of North America's most abundant seabirds.[2] The relationships between the four true auklets remains unclear. Auklets are threatened by invasive species such as Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) because of their high degree of coloniality and crevice-nesting.
