The common frog is a poikilotherm and is able to function over a wide range of body core temperatures. A poikilotherm (/ ˈ p ɔɪ k ə l ə ˌ θ ɜːr m, p ɔɪ ˈ k ɪ l ə ˌ θ ɜːr m /) is an animal (Greek poikilos – 'various', 'spotted', and therme – 'heat') whose internal temperature varies considerably.

Na druhé straně endotermní organismy (metaboličtí regulátoři), jako jsou všichni savci a ptáci, mohou regulovat svou vlastní tělesnou teplotu a jsou nezávislé na prostředí. Bez ohledu na okolní teplotu si tyto organismy udržují stálou vnitřní tělesnou teplotu (jsou homoiotermní), což jim umožňuje být aktivnější v ...
Various aged naked mole-rats. The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber), also known as the sand puppy, [6] is a burrowing rodent native to the Horn of Africa and parts of Kenya, notably in Somali regions. [1]
Heterothermy or heterothermia (from Greek ἕτερος heteros "other" and θέρμη thermē "heat") is a physiological term for animals that vary between self-regulating their body temperature, and allowing the surrounding environment to affect it.

The thermoregulatory status of dinosaurs has long been debated, and is still an active area of research. The term 'mesothermy' was originally coined [6] to advocate for an intermediate status of non-avian dinosaur thermoregulation, between endotherms and ectotherms.
A stenotherm (from Greek στενός stenos "narrow" and θέρμη therme "heat") is a species or living organism capable of surviving only within a narrow temperature range.
