| Specific features of the ectotherm cardiac cell including that of fishes may be missed, since generalisations are often based on features of the mammalian myocardium. |
| For two ectotherm animals of the same size, if one has moist skin and the other dry skin, the first will be cooler through evaporation. |
| Mike Demlong, formerly the Ectotherm Curator at the Phoenix Zoo, is now the Amphibians and Reptiles Program Manager for the Arizona Game and Fish Department. |
| The oxygen consumption and energy output of an endotherm is considerably greater than that of an ectotherm. |
| The advantage of being an ectotherm is that acquiring heat from the environment is not costly. |
| In many ectotherm animals, ie unable to regulate their temperature, winter also corresponds to an entry in life slowed. |
