Temperature, metabolic rates, and the future of your lineage
We all know that during spring, when the light and temperature start to rise, life blooms everywhere. The increase in temperature during this season activates most organisms, especially ectotherms, also known as cold-blooded animals. In these animals, the relationship between metabolism and temperature is direct, usually following an exponential function. Examples of ectotherms are fish, reptiles, insects, and, of course, zooplankton. In endotherms, such as mammals and birds, the relationship is more complex and dependent on multiple factors
