How can you use “microcosms” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The experimental design consisted of twenty-four microcosms, each of which fell into four different scale types: 1) a "base" size (B), which has been used in microcosm studies of treehole mosquitoes [ 16 ] , [ 31 ] , [ 33 ] , 2) "constant width" (CW), using the same size container and doubling the depth, 3) "constant depth" (CD), using the same depth as the base, but doubling the width, and 4) "constant shape" (CS), which doubles both the width and depth of the base treatment (Table 2).
Differences did appear in comparisons of B to CD microcosms, indicating possible wall effects.
At that point, the microcosms were searched for remaining larvae and pupae, which were counted for determination of total survival to that day.
Within each scale type, half of the microcosms had high leaf litter (about 10 g · l -1of dried red oak ( Quercus rubra L.) leaves) and half had low leaf litter (approximately 2 g · I -1of dried red oak leaves; Table 2), with three replicates of each treatment combination.
If scaling of habitat affects C. pipiens, which inhabits aquatic systems of varying size, it might likely affect many other organisms that either live in small aquatic habitats, or have been tested in small-scale microcosms.
