poikilothermic的示例

• The slow rate of engorgement on tortoises is due to the low body temperatures of these poikilothermic hosts.

• In common with most physiological processes in poikilothermic animals, inter-stadial development rates of ticks increase non-linearly with increasing ambient temperature.

• In this way, the temperature-sensing ability of membranes becomes an ideal mechanism for regulating physiological processes in poikilothermic organisms.

• It is hypothesized that the physico-chemical milieu of the conjunctiva and cornea helped to adapt the originally ' poikilothermic microsporidian ' to the conditions within the homoiothermic organism.

• We were no longer poikilothermic, to use a medical term.

• This difference in energy requirement also means that a given food source can support a greater density of poikilothermic animals than homeothermic animals.

• This makes them homeothermic when active, and poikilothermic when at rest.

• However, animals with facultative endothermy are often poikilothermic, meaning that their temperature can vary considerably.

• This is reflected in the predator-prey ratio which is usually higher in poikilothermic fauna compared to homeothermic ones.

• Poikilothermic animals include types of vertebrate animals, specifically fish, amphibians, and reptiles, as well as a large number of invertebrate animals.

• The virus has even been adapted to grow in cells of poikilothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrates.

• Heterothermy or heterothermia refers to animals that can switch between ectothermic (or poikilothermic) and endothermic (or homeothermic) strategies.

• For example, many bats and small birds are poikilothermic and bradymetabolic when they sleep for the night, or day, as the case may be.

• The common octopus is a poikilothermic, eurythermic ectotherm, meaning that it conforms to the ambient temperature.

• Octopuses are poikilothermic or cool-blooded, have three hearts and blue copper-based blood.
