In his paper, the botanist proposed the term poikilo-leaf to describe plants whose leaf coloration varies across environmental gradients.

The pathologist noted poikilocarynosis in several biopsy samples, a rare hallmark of Bowen's disease.

The neurologist warned that poikilothermia after a severe brain injury can leave patients unable to maintain a stable body temperature.

The poikilohydric moss survived prolonged droughts by entering a dormant state until moisture returned.

The poikilotherm frog remained motionless until the sun warmed the pond, allowing it to become active.

The field biologist explained how a poikilotherm regulates its activity by basking in the morning sun.

Many poikilotherms, such as reptiles and amphibians, depend on external temperatures to regulate their body heat.

Researchers studied the effects of poikilothermism on metabolic rate in desert reptiles.

The dermatologist explained that poikiloderma often results from chronic sun damage and presents as areas of skin atrophy with mottled pigmentation.

Under the microscope, the poikiloblasts revealed a complex history of deformation and recrystallization.
