How do ectotherms adapt?
Most marine fish and invertebrates, however, live in water that stays the same temperature.
When the weather is warm, they become active. They slow down when the temperature drops.
To warm up, reptiles find sunny places, and stretch out for maximum exposure. If it gets too warm, lizards alternate between sun and shade.
Amphibians warm up by moving into the sun or diving into warm water. They cool off by entering the shade.
