Gigantothermy
Gigantothermy (sometimes called ectothermic homeothermy or inertial homeothermy) is a phenomenon with significance in biology and paleontology, whereby Gigantotherms, though almost always ectothermic, generally have a body temperature similar to that of endotherms. wikipedia.org

Why your summer might be full of mosquitoes, according to a scientist
Mosquitoes, like most insects, are cold-blooded, or ectothermic. Unlike us, their body temperature closely matches the temperature of the environment (air or water) around them. If it is cold ...

Mormyrinae
This is due to the combination of large brain size (3.1% of body mass compared to 2% in humans) and them being ectothermic. The body energy expenditure of ectothermic animals is about 1/13 of that of endotherms but the energy expenditure of the brains of both ectothermic wikipedia.org

Insular dwarfism
There were separate regression lines for endothermic top predators, ectothermic top predators, endothermic top herbivores and (on the basis of limited data) ectothermic top herbivores, such that food intake was 7 to 24-fold higher for top herbivores than for top predators, and about the same for endotherms wikipedia.org
