Neolamprologus finalimus

Neolamprologus finalimus 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 Neolamprologus finalimus rather than just read about it. In short: Neolamprologus finalimus is a little-known species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika where it is currently known only from its type locality - Uvira, Democratic Republic of the Congo - on the northern tip of the lake. The only known specimen, the holotype, was 4.5 centimetres (1.8 in) in total length.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Neolamprologus finalimus is a little-known species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika where it is currently known only from its type locality - Uvira, Democratic Republic of the Congo - on the northern tip of the lake. The only known specimen, the holotype, was 4.5 centimetres (1.8 in) in total length.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Neolamprologus finalimus

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Neolamprologus finalimus 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 Neolamprologus finalimus 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 Neolamprologus finalimus 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 Neolamprologus finalimus

In research: Neolamprologus finalimus 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 Neolamprologus finalimus 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: Neolamprologus finalimus is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Endemic fish of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Fish described in 1931, Fish of Lake Tanganyika, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Neolamprologus finalimus 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.
