The opposite is a eurytherm, an organism that can function at a wide range of different body temperatures.
Examples
Chionoecetes opilio is a stenothermic organism, and temperature affects its biology throughout its life history, from embryo to adult. Small changes in temperature (< 2 °C) can increase the duration of egg incubation for C. opilio by a full year.[1]
gollark: You can include "fizzbuzz" and stuff inline in the python version, but not in the assembly version.
gollark: No, I mean your code also relies on the data bits.
gollark: Er, that's a bad comparison.
gollark: I'm not sure exactly, since I'm not sure what precisely your code is doing and it is hardly an apples-to-apples comparison.
gollark: If by "dumb people" you mean "people who actually want to focus on implementing the interesting logic of their programs instead of random implementation details and wow this is a long sentence", yes.
