This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Ectothermic Animal Heat Equation, Hcd (conduction) (touching objects) can be towards or away from animal heat away from animal, cool by maximizing heat away by exposing ectotherm's body to cooler winds or water (ex: Galapagos Marine Iguanas swim in cold water to cool off), seeking shade similar to endothermic animals, elevating ("stilting") body off ground to allow cool wind to cool body with similar body form to plants ("open body form"), Hcv (convection) (wind / water) can warm or cool ectotherm warm by minimizing heat loss to cool air, Hcv (convection) (wind / water) +/- (plus or minus) Hr (radiation) (+ from sun; - to sky when no wind), Hcv (convection) (wind / water) can warm or cool ectotherm cool by minimizing heat towards, Hcv (convection) (wind / water) can warm or cool ectotherm warm by maximizing heat towards, evaporative cooling from the ectotherm's moist skin (ex: amphibians) allows heat loss, heat away by seeking shade, heat away by developing reflective body pigmentation (Ex: desert insects), heat towards by developing darker body pigmentation (Ex: Grasshoppers raised in cool temps that need to warm body to fight fungal pathogen), heat away from animal by crawling under a rock & touching the cool substrate (ex. salamander), developing darker body pigmentation (Ex: Grasshoppers raised in cool temps that need to warm body to fight fungal pathogen) with similar adaptations as seen in plants, avoiding time in hot air or hot water for example desert ectotherms: stay out of the mid-day hot air / wind, warm by minimizing heat loss to cool air by "laying low" / hugging (low body profile, cool by maximizing heat away by elevating ("stilting") body off ground to allow cool wind to cool body, heat towards by basking in the sun, Hs (Heat stored in body) Equals = +/- (plus or minus) Hcd (conduction) (touching objects), He (evaporation) (loss only) through "panting"
