... that eyelash seaweed may have been made extinct by a single 2016 earthquake? Source: "since the earthquake.. no Dione has been reported" Conservation status of New Zealand macroalgae, 2019; "One of the sites was completely buried in the 2016 earthquake and the other was affected by uplift. The species... has not been found since." Not enough known about Kiwi seaweeds

Approved -- a short but nicely-written article, well sourced and long enough for GA. Created within the window and no evident signs of plagiarism, copyvio or other major concerns. Fascinating hook: the first source is a little more cautious than we might have been (it does, after all, point out that relatively little has been done to find Dione since the earthquake), but I think we're covered by may have been and the general understanding that DYK errs on the side of being interesting rather than pedantic. QPQ done: I don't think there's an expiration date on those. Nice work. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 12:45, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
