Ectotherm - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
ectothermic) An organism whose body temperature is largely determined by heat exchange with its surroundings . It does not produce and retain enough metabolic heat to elevate its body temperature above ambient temperature, but may use behavioral mechanisms to regulate body temperature. www.sciencedirect.com
