Hernández-Camacho's night monkey

Hernández-Camacho's night monkey 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 Hernández-Camacho's night monkey rather than just read about it. In short: Hernández-Camacho's night monkey (Aotus jorgehernandezi) is a species of night monkey of the family Aotidae. It was first described in 2007 by Thomas Defler and Marta Bueno.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Hernández-Camacho's night monkey (Aotus jorgehernandezi) is a species of night monkey of the family Aotidae. It was first described in 2007 by Thomas Defler and Marta Bueno. It has a gray neck and a white patch over each eye, separated by a black band. The fur on the chest, belly, lower arms and lower wrists is thick and white. It differs from other gray-necked night monkey species other than Brumback's night monkey in having 50 chromosomes. It is believed to live in Colombia on the western slopes and foothills of the Andes, between Quindío and Risaralda. It is possible that it occurs in Tatamá National Natural Park. This range is currently also considered part of the range of the Panamanian night monkey. The Latin name honors the late Colombian biologist Jorge Hernández-Camacho.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hernández-Camacho's night monkey

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hernández-Camacho's night monkey 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 Hernández-Camacho's night monkey 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 Hernández-Camacho's night monkey 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 Hernández-Camacho's night monkey

In research: Hernández-Camacho's night monkey 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 Hernández-Camacho's night monkey 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: Hernández-Camacho's night monkey is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Arboreal mammals, Endemic fauna of Colombia, IUCN Red List data deficient species, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hernández-Camacho's night monkey 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.
