Definitions
heterothermy
Noun
The physiological state in which an organism’s body temperature is allowed to fluctuate widely with ambient conditions instead of being held constant.
Because of its desert habitat, the camel exhibits heterothermy, letting its body temperature rise during the day and fall at night.
