Answer:

The rate of reproduction.

Explanation:

It should be understood that poiklothermic animals are the animals that do not have constant body temperature. This means that their temperature changes in accordance to the temperature of the environment. Examples of such organisms are reptiles and Pisces, fishes, among others.

The homeothermic animals are the animals that are capable of maintaining their body temperature.

Homeotherm is usually applied to animals that can maintain a constant body temperature through metabolic processes endotherms.
