Tres Marias red-tailed hawk

Tres Marias red-tailed hawk 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 Tres Marias red-tailed hawk rather than just read about it. In short: The Tres Marias red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis fumosus) is a relatively small subspecies of red-tailed hawk endemic to Islas Marías, an island some 100 km (62 mi) off the coast of Mexico. Unlike some other island races, the validity of this race has rarely been called into question.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

The Tres Marias red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis fumosus) is a relatively small subspecies of red-tailed hawk endemic to Islas Marías, an island some 100 km (62 mi) off the coast of Mexico. Unlike some other island races, the validity of this race has rarely been called into question. The wing chord of males can range from 368 to 370 mm (14.5 to 14.6 in), averaging 369.3 mm (14.54 in), and, in females, it ranges from 395 to 400 mm (15.6 to 15.7 in), averaging 397.4 mm (15.65 in). Males and females average 228.9 and 235.5 mm (9.01 and 9.27 in) in tail length, 85.9 and 88.3 mm (3.38 and 3.48 in) in tarsal length and 27.4 and 29.2 mm (1.08 and 1.15 in) in culmen length. This race is similar to the western red-tailed hawk (B. j. calurus) but, beyond being noticeably smaller, is duskier and duller hued overall and has a more cinnamon wash below, with heavily dark barred thighs.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tres Marias red-tailed hawk

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tres Marias red-tailed hawk 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 Tres Marias red-tailed hawk 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 Tres Marias red-tailed hawk 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 Tres Marias red-tailed hawk

In research: Tres Marias red-tailed hawk 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 Tres Marias red-tailed hawk 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: Tres Marias red-tailed hawk is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Accipitriformes stubs, Buteo, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tres Marias red-tailed hawk 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.
