The opposite of endothermy is ectothermy, although there is no absolute or clear separation between the nature of endotherms and ectotherms in general.
32.
Because ectotherms depend on environmental conditions for body temperature regulation, as a rule, they are more sluggish at night and in early mornings.
33.
:It depends, in part, whether the Ectotherm / poikilotherm was warmer or colder than the homeotherm at the time of the competition.
34.
At a guess, it sounds to me you'd be talking about an ectotherm whose body temperature nonetheless remained at a stable temperature.
35.
The tree dtella is an ectotherm, falling into the subgroup of thigmotherms that depend on heat exchange with the substrate for maintenance of body temperature.
36.
There is evidence that boa constrictors have more difficulty killing ectotherms, animals like lizards and snakes that rely on external heat to regulate their body temperatures.
37.
In the category of ectotherms, " T . carnifex " is a heterothermic animal, meaning its internal temperature varies with differing climatic temperatures.
38.
As ectotherms, snakes depend on heat from the outside to warm their bodies and allow them to move, hunt and digest the fruit of that hunt.
39.
The shunt is used during diving to make the heart function as 3-chambered heart, providing the crocodilian with the neurally controlled shunting used by ectotherms.
40.
It was also predicted that since " Griphobilharzia amoena " originated in ectotherms and then inhabited endothermic avian species, which is where they exist today.
