Henri Schouteden

Henri Schouteden is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Henri Schouteden rather than just read about it. In short: Henri Schouteden (9 July 1881 in Brussels – 15 November 1972 in Brussels) was a Belgian zoologist, ornithologist and entomologist who undertook numerous expeditions into the Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi. Works (All in French) Schouteden, H.

Key takeaways

Henri Schouteden belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Henri Schouteden to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Henri Schouteden from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Species named in honor of Schouteden Species named for Schouteden include a worm lizard Monopeltis schoutedeni, a chameleon Trioceros schoutedeni, a snake Helophis schoutedeni, a shrew Paracrocidura schoutedeni, a butterfly Bebearia schoutedeni, a testate amoeba Hyalosphenia schoutedeni, a pufferfish Tetraodon schoutedeni, among many others. His collection of butterflies from the Belgian Congo is held by the Royal Museum for Central Africa.

Petrocephalus schoutedeni, is a species of electric fish in the family Mormyridae, found the coastal basins between Sierra Leone and Côte d'Ivoire, part of the Sassandra River. it is also known from the Niandan River, which is an affluent of the Niger River in Guinea and also from the upper Cavally River in Liberia, Guinea and Ghana.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Henri Schouteden

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Henri Schouteden claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Henri Schouteden before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Henri Schouteden ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Henri Schouteden

In research: Henri Schouteden appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Henri Schouteden in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Henri Schouteden is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1881 births, 1972 deaths, 20th-century Belgian zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Henri Schouteden outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
