Biology: A Functional Approach
For many years the terms homoiothermic and poikilothermic have been given to
these two groups respectively. Homoiothermic is a Greek word meaning 'having
the same temperature'. Homoiothermic animals are popularly described as ...

Handbook of Lizards: Lizards of the United States and of Canada
In addition they are poikilothermic, or variable in body temperature, since they
must and do vary in temperature pretty much as their environment, and the
variation in deserts, for instance, where lizards are common, is very great
throughout the ...

Temperature and Toxicology: An Integrative, Comparative, and ...
With few exceptions, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates are
poikilothermic. Their body temperature is essentially equal to ambient
temperature; however, many poikilothermic species use their behavior to
maintain a core temperature ...

Sex, Stress and Reproductive Success
We call those animals 'poikilothermic', meaning variable. Animals whose body
temperature remains more or less constant during changes in environmental
conditions are called 'homeothermic'. Poikilothermic animals have the advantage
in ...

D. Temperature Effects on Regulatory Properties of Poikilothermic Enzymes All of
our discussion of the thermal behavior of enzyme systems has been based on a
single kinetic parameter, enzyme-substrate affinity. Our predictions of relatively ...

The Hot-blooded Insects: Strategies and Mechanisms of ...
At one extreme are poikilothermic moths less than 10 mg in mass. Although too
small to retain endothermically produced heat, some of these insects are
nevertheless able to fly at ambient temperatures near 0°C. Flight at such low
muscle ...
This poikilothermic characteristic places strict limitations on the environment
exploited by the animal, which in turn affects its behavioral patterns. The frog is
an amphibian whereas the lizard is a reptile. A fish belongs to the superclass
pisces.

The Physiology of Induced Hypothermia: Proceedings of a ...
This straight line fall in core temperature at the rate of 3.3° C. per hour with no
change in slope that might indicate the retention of remnantal regulatory powers
has been the criterion used for characterizing the completely poikilothermic
animal.
Robert Dunning Dripps, 1956

Peroxidation, Energy Transduction and Mitochondria During Aging
As regards the effects of temperature on the life-span of mammals, the reverse of
what happens in poikilothermic animals is found : mammals kept in low
environmental temperatures have a reduced life cycle, as compared with animals
kept at ...
Gianni Benzi, A. P. Baldry, 1990

Biological Psychology: An Illustrated Survival Guide
These and other poikilothermic animals still need to keep their body temperature
constant. The real difference between poikilothermic and homeothermic animals
(mammals and birds) is that whilst homeothermic animals can generate their ...
