Pierre Jabouille

Pierre Jabouille is a science 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 Pierre Jabouille rather than just read about it. In short: Pierre Charles Edmond Jabouille (25 November 1875 – 15 May 1947) was a French colonial administrator in Indochina and took an interest in the ornithology of the region, describing numerous new species. Jabouille was born in Saintes, Département Charente-Maritime, son of a judge and later chairman of the cabinet of the prefecture of Calvados department Louis Arthur Jabouille (1842-1887) and Emma Jenny née Lejeune.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Pierre Charles Edmond Jabouille (25 November 1875 – 15 May 1947) was a French colonial administrator in Indochina and took an interest in the ornithology of the region, describing numerous new species. Jabouille was born in Saintes, Département Charente-Maritime, son of a judge and later chairman of the cabinet of the prefecture of Calvados department Louis Arthur Jabouille (1842-1887) and Emma Jenny née Lejeune. He went to study law and worked at Barcelonnette. He moved to Indochina in 1905 as an administrative officer living in Lào Cai, Quảng Trị and serving as a mayor of Hanoi. He rose to become a governor. He also took an interest in the birds of the region and made expeditions along with Jean Théodore Delacour between 1923 and 1933, sometimes also Willoughby Prescott Lowe (1872-1949) and collected numerous bird specimens. He also described several new taxa. In 1928, the Paris Academy of Sciences awarded the Tchihatchef prize to Delacour and Jabouille for their work. After retirement in 1933, he settled in Château de Clères and continued to work with Jean Delacour until the outbreak of the Second World War. He became nearly blind and was unable to walk in later life and died in Paris. Species described by Jabouille and Delacour include:

Arborophila merlini (Delacour & Jabouille, 1924) Arborophila cambodiana Delacour & Jabouille, 1928 Myiomela cambodiana (Delacour & Jabouille, 1928) Spelaeornis kinneari Delacour & Jabouille, 1930 Sitta solangiae (Delacour & Jabouille, 1930) Napothera pasquieri (Delacour & Jabouille, 1930) (as Rimator pasquieri) Schoeniparus klossi (Delacour & Jabouille, 1931)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pierre Jabouille

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pierre Jabouille claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, 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 Pierre Jabouille 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 Pierre Jabouille 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 Pierre Jabouille

In research: Pierre Jabouille appears in science 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 Pierre Jabouille 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: Pierre Jabouille is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1875 births, 1947 deaths, 20th-century French scientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Pierre Jabouille 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.
