Indoreonectes evezardi

Indoreonectes evezardi 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 Indoreonectes evezardi rather than just read about it. In short: Indoreonectes evezardi is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Nemacheilidae. Earlier it was known as Nemacheilus evezardi described by Day (1878) captured from a river stream near Pune.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Indoreonectes evezardi is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Nemacheilidae. Earlier it was known as Nemacheilus evezardi described by Day (1878) captured from a river stream near Pune. It is endemic to India, found in the Western Ghats and the Satpuras. Most populations are found in normal streams, but two distinct cave-adapted forms exist in Kotumsar Cave.

Etymology The fish is named in honor of Col. George C. Evezard (1826–1901), of the Bombay Staff Corps, who helped in procuring the type specimen.

Divergence of cave populations Due to lack of light and limited source of energy input (food) the cave populations of Indoreonectes evezardi are either found in albinic form with very regressed eyes or with very limited pigmentation and small eyes while compared to its epigean counterparts. Due to subterranean mode of life the complete physiological activities of the cave forms get limited and/or altered.

IUCN status Though in International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, this particular species is designated in Least Concern (LC) category, but it could not be ruled out that special attention is required to protect the cave forms of Indoreonectes evezardi.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Indoreonectes evezardi

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Indoreonectes evezardi 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 Indoreonectes evezardi 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 Indoreonectes evezardi 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 Indoreonectes evezardi

In research: Indoreonectes evezardi 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 Indoreonectes evezardi 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: Indoreonectes evezardi is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Cave fish, Fish described in 1872, Fish of Asia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Indoreonectes evezardi 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.
