| 11. | They attribute this relationship to a Bergmann s rule-like pattern for the ectothermic ant.
|
| 12. | Beyond a frog and a lizard both being clearly ectothermic, they couldn t be any more different.
|
| 13. | Their endothermic capabilities provided them with a benefit over the mostly ectothermic dinosaurs that dominated the Mesozoic era.
|
| 14. | They see these as ectothermic animals that adapted to gliding by developing elongated scales and then pennaceous feathers.
|
| 15. | This process is useful to ectothermic ( cold-blooded ) animals in the regulation of their body temperature.
|
| 16. | Being ectothermic, the internal body temperature of crocodilians falls as the temperature drops, and they become sluggish.
|
| 17. | Insects are generally considered cold-blooded or ectothermic, their body temperature rising and falling with the environment.
|
| 18. | This affects poikilotherms and ectothermic homeotherms ( " cold-blooded " animals ) as well as endothermic homeotherms.
|
| 19. | Following Bergmann's rule-- unusually, for ectothermic animals-- body size increases with latitude.
|
| 20. | The developmental period for " D . melanogaster " varies with temperature, as with many ectothermic species.
