Potential Outline → these are just suggestions, might only be able to find info on some things, feel free to add to it. I put the (above) potential sources under some topics.

Intro

what does ectotherm mean?
mention endotherm + define
introduce the main points of the article
fix citation issue in current article

Internal Temperature Balance

→ Why do ectotherm animals need to regulate their internal temperatures?

freeze avoidance (ice crystals in cells, protein/enzyme denaturing)

freeze tolerance (animal examples)
overheating avoidance (protein/enzyme denaturing)

    *heat tolerance (animal examples)

find a graph showing that as external temp changes, animal internal temp does too

→ How do ectotherm animals exchange heat with their environment?

radiation
conduction
convection
evapotranspiration

Temperature Regulation Strategies (Adaptations)

→ How do ectotherm animals regulate their body temperature?

mechanisms

   *behavioural (move to sun/shade)
    *anatomical
    *physiological

Temperature-Size Rule

→ What are the metabolic rates of ectotherms and how does that correlate to their overall size?

surface area: volume ratio, metabolism and O2 consumption
compare the metabolic rate of ectotherms to endotherms (briefly)
find a graph showing a comparison of ectotherm to endotherms for O2 consumption and external temperature*

Pros/Cons

→ Pros

→ Cons

reproduction rates and temperature
immune responses

→ Some animals are both ectotherm and endotherm

hibernation

Environments

→ Where can large numbers of ectotherms be found on earth?

→ What are some extreme environments where ectotherms live?

→ Climate change effects on ectotherms?
