A new Murdoch University study has found that cold-blooded animals (ectotherms) are unable to adjust physiologically to daily temperature fluctuations, a limitation that could leave them increasingly vulnerable as climate change drives even greater temperature variability. Daily temperature variations are a common feature in natural environments, ranging from subtle to extreme depending on the geographic location, season, and local climate patterns.
