Ectotherms can modify their preferred body temperatures in response to the temperature change that comes with the altering seasons.
22.
Like homeotherms, poikilotherms and ectotherms usually exhibit a thermal preference, although not quite in the same way.
23.
Ectotherms, such as this Cunningham's skink, often bask in the sun to regulate body temperature.
24.
For example, based on the meta-analysis, ectotherms are more likely than endotherms to display greater IBD.
25.
Forest tent caterpillars are ectotherms so they rely on sources of heat from the environment to raise their body temperatures.
26.
The snake was coiled on a rocky outcropping just below eye level, sunning itself, as ectotherms love to do.
27.
As a consequence they would also need higher food intake rates, which may limit abundance of endotherms more than ectotherms.
28.
Seegers'company, Ectotherm, now makes seven types of Yummies intended to be complete diets for everything from crickets to iguanas.
29.
Endotherms cannot, in general, afford such long periods without food, but suitably adapted ectotherms can wait without expending much energy.
30.
Crocodilians never made this transition and remained stodgy old ectotherms, although able to maintain quite stable body temperatures when basking opportunities were available.
