Uracentron azureum

Uracentron azureum 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 Uracentron azureum rather than just read about it. In short: The green thornytail iguana (Uracentron azureum) is an arboreal species of lizard from the Amazon rainforest and forests in the Guiana Shield. It is found in Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, northeastern Peru, southern Venezuela, and northern Brazil.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

The green thornytail iguana (Uracentron azureum) is an arboreal species of lizard from the Amazon rainforest and forests in the Guiana Shield. It is found in Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, northeastern Peru, southern Venezuela, and northern Brazil. As in U. flaviceps (the only other species in the genus), U. azureum primarily feeds on ants. The green thornytail iguana can reach about 9 cm (3.5 in) in snout–vent length and has a relatively short, spiny tail. It has three distinct subspecies, which sometimes have been recognized as separate species: the nominate subspecies is bright green with distinct blackish bands and is found in the northeastern part of the green thornytail iguana's range, the southwestern T. a. guentheri is duller with greyish or brownish rear body and tail, and the northwestern T. a. werneri is almost all green without distinct markings in adults.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Uracentron azureum

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Uracentron azureum 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 Uracentron azureum 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 Uracentron azureum 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 Uracentron azureum

In research
Uracentron azureum 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 Uracentron azureum 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
Uracentron azureum is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Animal taxa named by Carl Linnaeus, Arboreal reptiles, IUCN Red List least concern species, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Uracentron azureum 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.
