White-throated francolin

White-throated francolin 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 White-throated francolin rather than just read about it. In short: The white-throated francolin (Campocolinus albogularis) is‌ a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. It is found in Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo, and Zambia.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

The white-throated francolin (Campocolinus albogularis) is‌ a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. It is found in Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Togo, and Zambia. These birds are found in tropical and sub-tropical grasslands, savannas, burned lands and shrublands. They feed on seeds and insects. The white-throated francolin weighs approximately 14–15 g (0.49–0.53 oz) at birth and reaches around 275 g (9.7 oz) as an adult. Formerly classified in the genus Peliperdix, a 2020 study placed it together with the coqui francolin (C. coqui), and Schlegel's francolin (C. schlegelii) in a new genus Campocolinus. The International Ornithological Congress has accepted these findings.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with White-throated francolin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what White-throated francolin 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 White-throated francolin 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 White-throated francolin 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 White-throated francolin

In research: White-throated francolin 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 White-throated francolin 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: White-throated francolin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Birds described in 1854, Birds of Southern Africa, Birds of West Africa, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for White-throated francolin 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.
