Raja Ampat pitohui

Raja Ampat pitohui 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 Raja Ampat pitohui rather than just read about it. In short: The Raja Ampat pitohui (Pitohui cerviniventris), or Waigeo pitohui, is a species of pitohui in the family Oriolidae found on the western Papuan Islands of New Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

The Raja Ampat pitohui (Pitohui cerviniventris), or Waigeo pitohui, is a species of pitohui in the family Oriolidae found on the western Papuan Islands of New Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is also one of the few known poisonous birds.

Taxonomy and systematics This species was split from the northern variable pitohui in 2013.

Subspecies Two subspecies are recognized:

P. c. pallidus - van Oort, 1907: Found on Sagewin and Batanta Islands (western Papuan Islands) P. c. cerviniventris - (Gray, GR, 1862): Found on Waigeo and Gemien Islands (western Papuan Islands)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Raja Ampat pitohui

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Raja Ampat pitohui 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 Raja Ampat pitohui 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 Raja Ampat pitohui 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 Raja Ampat pitohui

In research: Raja Ampat pitohui 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 Raja Ampat pitohui 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: Raja Ampat pitohui is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Birds described in 1862, Birds of the Raja Ampat Islands, Corvides stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Raja Ampat pitohui 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.
