Reference excerpt

The Hispaniolan Ornithological Society (Spanish: Sociedad Ornitológica de la Hispaniola) is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to nature conservation, particularly of birds and their habitats, on the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic). SOH's mission is to "conserve Hispaniolan birds and their habitats through research, community education, and professional training". Established in the Dominican Republic in 2001 and incorporated by presidential decree #85504, the SOH was founded by a group of bird watchers and biologists committed with the conservation of birds and their natural environments. Education programs include promoting bird watching as well as giving presentations on local birds in public schools, private schools, and in rural communities. Through some of its members, SOH has the most complete database of bird and nature images on the island, which are used extensively as visual aides for nature and conservancy public awareness. It is the Dominican institution with the most members who are fully trained to perform professional studies of avifauna. The group has several year's experience collaborating and assisting in multiple research and bird monitoring projects, most of them conducted by ornithologists from the United States. SOH has strong relationships with other conservation organizations, with which it has partnered in important projects. Field work conducted in collaboration with these entities includes studies of the critically endangered Ridgway's hawk (Buteo ridgwayi), nest cavity restoration for the Hispaniolan parrot (Amazona ventralis), and wintering ecology of the Bicknell's thrush (Catharus bicknelli).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hispaniolan Ornithological Society

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hispaniolan Ornithological Society claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, 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 Hispaniolan Ornithological Society 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 Hispaniolan Ornithological Society 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 Hispaniolan Ornithological Society

In research: Hispaniolan Ornithological Society appears in science 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 Hispaniolan Ornithological Society 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: Hispaniolan Ornithological Society is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Animal welfare organizations based in the Dominican Republic, Environment of Haiti, Environment of the Dominican Republic, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hispaniolan Ornithological Society 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.
