As evidenced by the articles in this volume, a recent increase in interest in the mating systems of poikilothermic vertebrates has focused primarily on fishes, a few amphibians, and squamate reptiles.
-
Inconsistencies and nonparallelisms abound: cisatlantic is in but not cisalpine; tramontane but not cismontane; poikilothermal but not homoiothermal.

Hogben & Kirk were trying to demonstrate that the body temperatures of animals like slugs and earthworms whose external surfaces are always wet are not necessarily in equilibrium with the temperature of their surroundings, despite the fact that they are poikilothermic or cold-blooded.

Little is known about the physiological time of poikilothermic animals and we know nothing about the physiological time of modular organisms.
-
This is distinct from poikilotherms, such as reptiles and amphibians, whose body temperature is just above the ambient temperature, and varies with it.
-
Amphibians are poikilothermic: their body temperatures adapt automatically to changes in their environment, with - out their noticing.

On the positive side, there is substantial evidence that poikilotherms have lower metabolic rates and longer life spans at cooler temperatures (reviewed by FINCH 1990; ARKING 1998).
-
The 10-fold seasonal differences in FMR were reasonable for an ectothermic poikilotherm.
-
Because amphibians are poikilothermic, this unequal geographic distribution might have led to shorter generation times and higher metabolic rates in the evolution of neobatrachians.
-
General anesthesia inactivates the body's temperature-regulating mechanism and transforms the homeothermic body into a poikilothermic body - one that is altered by the temperature of the environment.
-
A few of these biosigns were, like those of all Gorn castes, endothermic or poikilothermic—dependent upon external factors for the regulation of body temperature.
