Konstantin Deryugin 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 Konstantin Deryugin rather than just read about it. In short: Konstantin Mikhailovich Deryugin (Russian: Константин Михайлович Дерюгин: 10 February 1878 – 27 December 1938) was Russian Empire and Soviet oceanographer and marine biologist. He served as a professor of hydrology at St.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Konstantin Mikhailovich Deryugin (Russian: Константин Михайлович Дерюгин: 10 February 1878 – 27 December 1938) was Russian Empire and Soviet oceanographer and marine biologist. He served as a professor of hydrology at St. Petersburg University and took part in a number of oceanographic expeditions. Mount Deryugin and the Deryugin basin in the Sea of Okhotsk are named after him. Deryugin was born in St. Petersburg where his father was a lawyer. He studied at the Pskov gymnasium and even as a young student he was interested in bird life. He published his first papers on the birds of Pskov Bay shortly after joining the university and studied under V.M. Shimkevich, graduating in the natural sciences in 1900. A year before his graduation, he took part in an expedition to the White Sea which made him interested in marine life and oceanography. He received a master's degree in 1909 and a doctorate in 1915 with study on the fauna of Kola Bay. He became a lecturer at St Petersburg University in 1917 and became a professor in 1919 while also working at the State Hydrological Institute. He took an interest in marine life and worked on a number of taxa, collecting and examining their distributions. He noted the effect of the warm currents and their effect on marine life. He identified faunal barriers formed by warm shallow waters in the Gorlo Strait. His students included the ornithologist Leonid Shulpin.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Konstantin Deryugin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Konstantin Deryugin 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 Konstantin Deryugin 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 Konstantin Deryugin 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 Konstantin Deryugin

In research: Konstantin Deryugin 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 Konstantin Deryugin 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: Konstantin Deryugin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1878 births, 1938 deaths, Biologists from the Russian Empire, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Konstantin Deryugin 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.
