Stoliczkia khasiensis

Stoliczkia khasiensis 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 Stoliczkia khasiensis rather than just read about it. In short: Stoliczkia khasiensis (common names: Khasi earth snake, Khase red snake) is a species of snake in the family Xenodermidae. It is endemic to Meghalaya (until 1972 part of Assam), Northeast India.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Stoliczkia khasiensis (common names: Khasi earth snake, Khase red snake) is a species of snake in the family Xenodermidae. It is endemic to Meghalaya (until 1972 part of Assam), Northeast India. The type locality is Khasi Hills. Stoliczkia khasiensis inhabit mid hills to submontane forest near mountain streams, at elevations of 700–1,800 m (2,300–5,900 ft) above sea level. While it is only known from few specimens (18, as of 2011), it is considered locally abundant in Sarawak. It occurs in several protected areas (e.g., Crocker Range National Park, Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park), and there are no major threats to this species.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Stoliczkia khasiensis

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Stoliczkia khasiensis 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 Stoliczkia khasiensis 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 Stoliczkia khasiensis 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 Stoliczkia khasiensis

In research: Stoliczkia khasiensis 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 Stoliczkia khasiensis 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: Stoliczkia khasiensis is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Endemic reptiles of India, IUCN Red List data deficient species, Reptiles described in 1870, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Stoliczkia khasiensis 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.
