Hynobius guabangshanensis

Hynobius guabangshanensis 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 Hynobius guabangshanensis rather than just read about it. In short: Hynobius guabangshanensis is a species of salamander in the family Hynobiidae, endemic to China, as it is only known from the locality from where it was described as a new species to science in 2004, at Guabang Shan Tree Farm in Qiyang County of Hunan Province. Its natural habitats are temperate shrubland, swamps, freshwater marshes, and seasonally flooded agricultural land.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Hynobius guabangshanensis is a species of salamander in the family Hynobiidae, endemic to China, as it is only known from the locality from where it was described as a new species to science in 2004, at Guabang Shan Tree Farm in Qiyang County of Hunan Province. Its natural habitats are temperate shrubland, swamps, freshwater marshes, and seasonally flooded agricultural land. Hynobius guabangshanensis resembles H. amjiensis but is smaller, up to 151 mm in total length and 88 mm in snout-vent length for an adult male. Hynobius guabangshanensis is potentially threatened by habitat loss, and the IUCN classifies it as critically endangered.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hynobius guabangshanensis

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hynobius guabangshanensis 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 Hynobius guabangshanensis 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 Hynobius guabangshanensis 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 Hynobius guabangshanensis

In research: Hynobius guabangshanensis 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 Hynobius guabangshanensis 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: Hynobius guabangshanensis is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Amphibians described in 2004, Endemic amphibians of China, Hynobius, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hynobius guabangshanensis 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.
