| At middle depths of the forest floor, small invertebrates, especially dipteran larvae, partially consume or skeletonize leaf litter before emerging as adults. |
| The larvae skeletonize the foliage, but feeding damage is not conspicuous at this stage. |
| The surgeon must skeletonize vessels before coagulation, and must coagulate each vessel individually. |
| They skeletonize the leaves by rasping away the green part of the leaves, then make holes in the leaf. |
| Ordinarily the way this is done is to skeletonize them, that is to say, to carve away all but the bare minimum of metal. |
| We skeletonize our thoughts behind the scenes, but the skeleton is rather an unsightly specimen to exhibit before a class. |
