Homeothermy

The regulation of body temperature is a complex process that is integral to homeothermy.

Many warm-blooded animals, including mammals and birds, rely on homeothermy to maintain their internal body temperature.

Homeothermy is a critical adaptation for animals that live in environments with extreme temperature variations.

Homeothermy is one of the key characteristics of mammals.

Homeothermy is an important adaptation that enables animals to maintain a stable internal environment.

Homeothermy is an adaptation that allows animals to thrive in environments with fluctuating temperatures.

The development of homeothermy is thought to have been a key factor in the evolution of endothermic birds and mammals.

The mechanism of homeothermy enables animals to remain active and forage for food in cold environments.

The high energy costs of maintaining homeothermy mean that animals need to consume a lot of food to survive.
