| 1. | Homeotherms are " not " necessarily endothermic.
|
| 2. | Animals also tend to be homeotherms which are animals that maintain a high temperature.
|
| 3. | Some homeotherms may maintain constant body temperatures through behavioral mechanisms alone i . e . behavioral thermoregulation.
|
| 4. | For the same body weight, poikilotherms need only 5 to 10 % of the energy of homeotherms.
|
| 5. | As a result, poikilotherms often have larger, more complex genomes than homeotherms in the same ecological niche.
|
| 6. | Like homeotherms, poikilotherms and ectotherms usually exhibit a thermal preference, although not quite in the same way.
|
| 7. | This affects poikilotherms and ectothermic homeotherms ( " cold-blooded " animals ) as well as endothermic homeotherms.
|
| 8. | This affects poikilotherms and ectothermic homeotherms ( " cold-blooded " animals ) as well as endothermic homeotherms.
|
| 9. | The results suggest the samples are " large pieces of vertebrate skin . . . from a huge homeotherm ".
|
| 10. | Crawford's gray shrew is one of the smallest desert mammals and one of the world's smallest homeotherms.
