We conclude that resource-allocation patterns do vary with age in a long-lived ectotherm.
2
The effects of temperature on ectotherm growth have been well documented.
3
Taken together, this study characterises uncoupling protein activity in an ectotherm for the first time.
4
Here we present data on upper temperature limits of 34 tropical marine ectotherm species from seven phyla living in intertidal and subtidal habitats.
5
From an evolutionary point of view, producers of ectotherm eggs need therefore to time egg-laying appropriately in order to avoid unfavourable thermal nest environments.
(Zoology) Having a body temperature that varies according to the outside temperature.
