Definition
Relating to an organism or system that exhibits varying body temperatures or has different temperature zones within itself.
Etymology
From 'heterothermal' with the '-ic' suffix. Used in comparative physiology to describe animals with non-uniform body temperatures.
Kelly Says
Sharks and tuna are heterothermic—they can maintain warm muscles for fast swimming while keeping their brains and organs cool, which is like having turbocharged engines in a refrigerated chassis. This niche strategy lets cold-water fish compete with warm-blooded predators.
