In addition, gastropods are ectotherms, are susceptible to desiccation, and are not very vagile; consequently, they may be affected strongly by disturbance and its often substantial modification of microclimate.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In ectotherms, individuals reared in colder environments tend to develop to a larger body size.
