    Example sentencesExamples

    • Complementing the large compound eyes, locusts have three much smaller simple eyes or ocelli characterized by rapid signal transmission and high photic sensitivity but very poor spatial resolution.
    1. 1.1Ecology Denoting the layers of the ocean reached by sufficient sunlight to allow plant growth.

      Example sentencesExamples
