In conservation biology, Romeo error is a term used to refer to a scenario in which an extant species is prematurely declared extinct, and the subsequent decline in conservation efforts results in further population decline or actual extinction. The term was first used in the context of conservation biology in a 1998 paper on the rediscovery of the Cebu flowerpecker (Dicaeum quadricolor).
