These dataset cover the four chapters of my PhD entitled "Climate change, wildlife trade, and the ecophysiological consequences of nocturnal vs. diurnal activity patterns."<br>Dataset for chapter 1 includes: Critical thermal maximum (Ctmax) and Critical thermal minimum (Ctmin) values for 101 lizards (6 species) captured in Hong Kong and South Africa measured during the day and the night.<br>Dataset for chapter 2 includes: Thermal parameters (thermal preference and tolerance) for 36 lizards (3 species) captured in Hong Kong<br>Dataset for chapter 3 includes: operative temperature recordings for 6 sites and 4 different microhabitats at each site in the Western Cape, South Africa, as well as corresponding values of thermal tolerance for population of Chondrodactylus bibronii and Trachylepis variegata, at each site <br>Datasets for chapter 4 includes:i) Sequences obtained for an 1038-bp of NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) for 81 individual Tokay geckos, obtained from local wild populations and TCM shops. ii) Field sampling sheet recording information (morphometrical and morphological) on Tokay geckos captured around HKiii) Nitrogen-15 and carbon-13 (d15N and d13C) ratios in ~1mg of the tail tip of wild (41), captive (3), and TCM shops (36) individual Tokay geckos, obtained in Hong Kongiv) Price (HKD) of a pair dried Tokay geckos purchased in April 2021 in Traditional Chinese Medicine Shops in Hong Kong.<br><br>
