Nagamichi Kuroda

Nagamichi Kuroda 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 Nagamichi Kuroda rather than just read about it. In short: Marquis Nagamichi Kuroda (黒田長礼, Kuroda Nagamichi; 24 November 1889 – 16 April 1978) was a Japanese ornithologist. His works included Ducks of the World (1912), Geese and Swans of the World (1913), Birds of the Island of Java (2 Volumes, 1933–36) and Parrots of the World in Life Colours (1975).

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Marquis Nagamichi Kuroda (黒田長礼, Kuroda Nagamichi; 24 November 1889 – 16 April 1978) was a Japanese ornithologist. His works included Ducks of the World (1912), Geese and Swans of the World (1913), Birds of the Island of Java (2 Volumes, 1933–36) and Parrots of the World in Life Colours (1975). He described the crested shelduck in 1917. He also worked on the distinction between the auks and petrels and the special characteristics of shearwaters that foraged underwater.

Family Father: Kuroda Nagashige (1867–1939) Mother: Shimazu Kiyoko (1871–1919) Wife: Princess Kan'in Shigeko (1897–1991) Children (all by Kan’in Shigeko): Kuroda Nagahisa (1916–2009) Masako married Maeda Toshitatsu (1908–1989) Mitsuko married Yamauchi Toyoaki (1912–2003) Shizuko married Mitsuo Mansho (1927–2018)

List of books available in English Birds of the Island of Java (1933) Passeres (1933) A bibliography of the duck tribe, Anatidae, mostly from 1926 to 1940, exclusive of that of Dr. Phillips's work (1942)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nagamichi Kuroda

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nagamichi Kuroda 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 Nagamichi Kuroda 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 Nagamichi Kuroda 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 Nagamichi Kuroda

In research: Nagamichi Kuroda 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 Nagamichi Kuroda 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: Nagamichi Kuroda is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1889 births, 1978 deaths, 20th-century Japanese zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nagamichi Kuroda 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.
