1. Organisms that can tolerate and survive across a wide range of temperatures.
Usage: biology; plural form of euryterm; contrasts with stenotherms, which tolerate only narrow temperature ranges

Examples

• Many fish species are eurytherms, able to survive in both cold and warm waters.
• Rats are eurytherms that can adapt to diverse climates across the globe.
• Unlike stenotherms, eurytherms have physiological mechanisms to regulate body functions across temperature extremes.
• Cockroaches are considered eurytherms because they thrive in a variety of thermal environments.
• The study compared eurytherms with stenothermic species to understand temperature adaptation.
