- W197731138 abstract "Invertebrates are ectotherms and therefore depend on their external environment for body heat. Consequently, they expend little energy in metabolic thermogenesis and their total energy demands are reduced accordingly. Their metabolic rates are lower and a greater proportion of their food can go directly into such vital functions as activity, growth, fat storage and reproduction than is true of endotherms (birds and mammals). Invertebrates’ greater metabolic frugality also allows them to eat less food per unit body weight and to go for longer periods without eating. This permits them to exploit intermittent resources and to maintain larger population densities in habitats with low levels of food availability than otherwise would be possible (Pough 1980). Deserts, being unpredictable and offering scant resources, are just the kind of environment in which ectothermism can be an asset." @default.
