Ichthyophis garoensis

Ichthyophis garoensis 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 Ichthyophis garoensis rather than just read about it. In short: Ichthyophis garoensis, the Garo Hills caecilian or Garo Hills striped caecilian, is a species of caecilian found in Assam and Meghalaya in north-eastern India as well as in Bangladesh. The Husain's caecilian Ichthyophis husaini was until 2016 considered a separate species.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Ichthyophis garoensis, the Garo Hills caecilian or Garo Hills striped caecilian, is a species of caecilian found in Assam and Meghalaya in north-eastern India as well as in Bangladesh. The Husain's caecilian Ichthyophis husaini was until 2016 considered a separate species. It is a subterranean caecilian that lives in the moist leaf-litter of tropical forests at elevations of 410–530 m (1,350–1,740 ft) above sea level. It is typically found close to streams and other waterbodies.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ichthyophis garoensis

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ichthyophis garoensis 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 Ichthyophis garoensis 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 Ichthyophis garoensis 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 Ichthyophis garoensis

In research: Ichthyophis garoensis 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 Ichthyophis garoensis 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: Ichthyophis garoensis is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Amphibians described in 1999, Amphibians of Bangladesh, Amphibians of India, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ichthyophis garoensis 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.
