heterothermic
Heterothermic refers to organisms that have the ability to vary their body temperature in response to environmental conditions, typically alternating between periods of high activity and low metabolic activity. Unlike homeothermic organisms, which maintain a constant internal body temperature, heterothermic organisms may be warm-blooded in certain conditions and cold-blooded in others. Examples include certain species of bats, hummingbirds, and rodents.
