Abstract
Costello et al. (Review, 25 January 2013, p. 413) challenged the common view that many species are disappearing before being described. We suggest that their conclusion is overly optimistic because of a limited selection and interpretation of available evidence that tends to overestimate rates of species description and underestimate the number of species on Earth and their current extinction rate.
摘要
科斯特洛等人（评论，2013 年 1 月 25 日，第 413 页）对许多物种在被描述之前就已经消失的普遍观点提出了质疑。我们认为，由于对现有证据的选择和解释有限，他们的结论过于乐观，这些证据往往高估了物种描述的速度，低估了地球上物种的数量及其目前的灭绝速度。
