Pertusaria bokluensis

Pertusaria bokluensis 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 Pertusaria bokluensis rather than just read about it. In short: Pertusaria bokluensis is a rare species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Pertusariaceae. Found in Thailand, it was formally described as a new species in 2005 by Sureeporn Jariangprasert.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Pertusaria bokluensis is a rare species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Pertusariaceae. Found in Thailand, it was formally described as a new species in 2005 by Sureeporn Jariangprasert. The type specimen was collected from the Bo Kluea Nhuea community (Bo Kluea district) at an altitude of 1,000 m (3,300 ft), where it was found growing on the bark of Dalbergia. It is only known from the type specimen. The species epithet combines the name of the type locality with the Latin adjective -ensis, meaning "place of origin". The main distinguishing characteristics of Pertusaria bokluensis are the eight-spored asci, and the presence of the lichen products 4,5-dichlorolichexanthone and 2,2'-di-O-methylstenosporic acid.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pertusaria bokluensis

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pertusaria bokluensis 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 Pertusaria bokluensis 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 Pertusaria bokluensis 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 Pertusaria bokluensis

In research: Pertusaria bokluensis 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 Pertusaria bokluensis 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: Pertusaria bokluensis is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Lichen species, Lichens described in 2005, Lichens of Indo-China, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Pertusaria bokluensis 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.
