Give Examples for Eurythermal and Stenothermal Organisms

Eurythermal and stenothermal organisms differ in their ability to tolerate temperature variations.

• Eurythermal organisms can survive across a wide range of temperatures. Examples include cows, humans, monkeys, and sheep.
• Stenothermal organisms can survive only within a narrow range of temperatures. Examples include seals, salmons, and many reptiles.

Stenothermal organisms are further classified into:

• Thermophilic organisms – adapted to higher temperatures.
• Cryophilic organisms – adapted to lower temperatures.
