What is eurytheemal and stenothermal animals and plants?Can you think of a few eurythermal and stenothermal animals and plants?If the global temp trend increase trend continues,would you expect the distributional range of some species to be affected?

Dear student,
Eurythermal means those plants and animals which can tolerated wide range of temperatures for growth
Eg: of plants: Rose and oak trees.
Eg of animals: cat, dog

Stenothermal plants and animals are those which can survive in a narrow range of temperature( they can exist only either in low or high temperature)  
Eg of plants: Bougainvillea
Eg of animals: penguin and lizards

Yes if the trend of increasing global temperature keeps increasing the distributional range of some species will be greatly affected.
Regards
