In their notes, the researchers marked 'pleo-' as a useful prefix for describing supernumerary structures.

The researcher carefully examined the pleon to count the segments that indicated the crustacean's age.

The bacterium's pleomorphous shape made it difficult to identify under the microscope.

The pleometrotic cooperation among founding queens increased the colony's survival rate.

Under the polarizing microscope, the pleochroic mineral shifted from pale yellow to deep brown as the stage was rotated.

Under polarized light, the thin section displayed distinct pleochroisms that helped identify the mineral.

The pleochromatic gemstone shifted from deep blue to green as I rotated it under the light.

The gemologist studied the pleochromatism of the sapphire to determine its orientation.

Several ant queens pleometrotically founded the new colony, cooperating at first until competition reduced their numbers.

The marine biologist examined the pleonal segments of the shrimp under the microscope.
