Because it holds one of the largest surviving collections of Angolan amphibian and reptile types and because of the poor representation of the Angolan herpetofauna in collections in general, the Museu do Dundo is one of the most important herpetological collec- tions in Africa. Its significance is further highlighted by the recent use of its speci- mens in the description of new species (Marques et al., 2019a, 2020; Cerıaco´ et al., 2020) which increased the number of type specimens to 28. As a part of a larger project aimed at studying the Angolan herpetofauna (see Marques et al., 2018), we visited the Museu do Dundo to assess the status of the collections, provide an initial catalogue of Figure 2.

No other person’s work (published or unpublished) has been used without due acknowledgment in the main text of the thesis. This thesis has not been submitted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution.

In all cases I am the principal author and contributor of the research. I certify that this thesis is 100,000 words or less, including all scholarly apparatus. ……………………… Kelly Maree Hare May 2005 i Abstract Paradoxically, nocturnal lizards prefer substantially higher body temperatures than are achievable at night and are therefore active at thermally suboptimal temperatures. In this study, potential physiological mechanisms were examined that may enable nocturnal lizards to counteract the thermal handicap of activity at low temperatures: 1) daily rhythms of metabolic rate, 2) metabolic rate at low and high temperatures, 3) locomotor energetics, and 4) biochemical adaptation.
