Is there a biological term for an activity period that is determined by temparature?

In general we refer to the activity period of organisms in terms of the period of the day that they are active. Diurnal, crepuscular, nocturnal, matutinal, and vespertine, for example. There are certain desert animals whose activity patterns seem to match a temperature range more than they do the day/night pattern. Is there a term for this type of activity pattern?
