"They are mainly tropical species and eurythermic warm water". This sentence makes no sense : they are .... eurythermic warm water. I suppose the contributor meant that they live in warm waters. But eurythermic refers to an organism (and not to water) and means : tolerating or adaptable to a wide range of temperatures. I suppose the real meaning of this sentence is : "they are mainly tropical species, usually found in warm waters, but they are also adapted to a wide range of temperatures".

"The sacoglossans are found mainly in tropical warm waters. But they are also adaptable to a wide range of temperatures, however with spectacularly decreasing numbers with latitude, resulting in very few cold-water endemic species."
I've avoided the word "eurythermic" as this is scientific jargon not understood by the general reader. JoJan ( talk) 13:04, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
