As the topic of rarity was discussed recently I thought that this article
might be of interest to some in the group.  The authors try to make the
case that marine species could be at a far greater risk of extinction than
previously assumed.  The only "documented" extinct marine species cited was
the eelgrass limpit,  Lottia alveus, but they cite others on the verge.

Roberts, C.M., and J.P. Hawkins.  1999.  Extinction risk in the sea.
