      Ectotherms are animals that rely on heat from their environment to regulate their body temperature, and tetrapods are vertebrate animals with four limbs. The category of ectothermic tetrapods includes nonavian reptiles (such as turtles) and amphibians (such as salamanders). Looking at data from more than 100 different animals, researchers have revealed some insights into aging that may help better understand longevity in humans. [Extracted from the article]
