Abstract
This study shows that female Saimiri sciureus acclimated to a stable laboratory environment show a seasonal ovulatory response to a regime of exogenous hormones. This response is minimal during periods of high humidity, highest when humidity is lowest and is probably correlated with changes, rather than absolute levels of humidity. Monkeys require at least 9 months to acclimate to the laboratory environment.Keywords
