| Ecological studies suggest that today's endotherms generally outcompete ectotherms in their area. |
|
| Similarly, some modern ectotherms, chameleons for example, have an erect posture. |
|
| With regard to the distance traveled before exhaustion, intermittent locomotion can have greater consequences for ectotherms than endotherms. |
|
| There exists the possibility that dinosaurs were neither complete ectotherms nor complete endotherms. |
|
| The papers cover a substantial range of physiological systems and numerous types of organisms, including ectotherms and endotherms, vertebrates, insects, plants, and bacteria. |
|
| As ectotherms, many reptiles have body temperatures which fluctuate with that of the environment. |
|
| Growth rates of ectotherms can be profoundly influenced by environmental conditions, especially temperature. |
|
| Today's reptiles and amphibians, on the other hand, are ectotherms that mostly gain heat energy from sunlight, a heated rock surface, or some other external source. |
|
| Among the overall findings, it was revealed that increased water temperature resulted in changes in species composition, individual growth rates, and reproductive patterns of fish and other aquatic ectotherms. |
|
| Reptiles and amphibians are ectotherms, or cold-blooded. |
|
| Remarkably, for some ectotherms the same rule applies, too, but in others a converse pattern is observed. |
|
| Measuring the Standard Metabolic Rates of ectotherms is key to understanding their thermal physiology and understanding the potential impacts of an altered global climate. |
|
| As ectotherms, lizards have a limited ability to regulate their body temperature, and must seek out and bask in sunlight to gain enough heat to become fully active. |
|
| As ectotherms butterflies are particularly thermally sensitive and so I will then assess the role of bacteria in host thermal tolerance and adaptation. |
|
| Ectotherms spend most of their lives holding their breath, Farmer says. |
