    Species, extinct before we know them?
    (Current biology : CB, 2015-03) Lees, Alexander C; Pimm, Stuart L
    Species are going extinct rapidly, while taxonomic catalogues are still incomplete for even the best-known taxa. Intensive fieldwork is finding species so rare and threatened that some become extinct within years of discovery. Recent bird extinctions in Brazil's coastal forests suggest that some species may have gone extinct before we knew of their existence.
