Untitled[edit]

endotherm has more meanings than the biological meaning cold-blooded. It is also used in thermodynamic settings as a related word to endothermic. -- 141.212.142.247 22:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who are the endotherm?[edit]

This article fails to mention which classes of living things are endotherms. Using Special:WhatLinksHere/Endotherm I see:

Mammal
Bird
The tuna and Butterfly kingfish
The only endothermic plant seems to be the Rhizanthes lowii

I noticed the statement "Since dinosaurs are also presumed to have been endotherms, the lack of small species and great number of known large species in North America was unusual." on the Hesperonychus article. A few of the articles on dinosaurs said they were presumed to be endotherms. Dinosaur#Physiology leans towards they being endothermis while Physiology of dinosaurs leaves this as undecided. Of the dinosaur articles I looked at the one for Plateosaurus was the least unambiguous on the subject being endothermic. Other articles used "... were presumed to be endothermic." --Marc Kupper|talk 00:56, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
