It's just that metabolism in ectotherms is so much lower.I mean,the metabolic rate of an endotherm—say a mouse—is at least six or seven times that of an ectotherm of a similar size like a frog or a ...

Ectotherms show pronounced annual cycles of growth arrest that correlate with a decrease in body temperature and metabolic rate; endotherms are assumed to grow continuously until they attain ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Abstract: Body temperature (Tb) profoundly affects the fitness of ectotherms. Many ectotherms use behavior to control Tb within narrow levels.

AbstractUnderstanding how temperature influences population regulation through its effects on intraspecific competition is an important question for which there is currently little theory or data.

Can behaviour and physiology mitigate effects of warming on ectotherms? A test in urban ants. Journal of Animal Ecology, 2023; DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.13860 ...

A model based on life history trait data from different latitudes predicts that ectotherm populations are likely to peak earlier in the year as mean local temperatures rise, but that the ...

But ectotherms like fish, reptiles and amphibians dominate the longevity record books. For example, salamanders called olms slither through subterranean caves for nearly a century.
