Explain animal adaptations in terms of energy transfer for example relative ear size of animals in cold and warm climates?
Warm-blooded animals tend to loose more heat from extremities (a basic physical thing, more surface area for the volume leads to higher heat loss), so it's only logical that in colder climates, smaller extremities where heat loss will be less, will be favoured over extremities with a larger surface area. The opposite is also true. Larger extremities are better for more heat loss. Elephants fan their ears, for instance.

The upper extremities do not require compartments for weight-bearing and are more focused on dexterity and precision in tasks, which is why compartments are not as prevalent in that area.
