title: Temperate season outdoor housing of Saimiri sciureus in the northern United States.
abstract: This study demonstrates the ability of Saimiri to adapt to out-of-door housing in a northern temperate climate from May through October, to ovulate (both naturally and in response to an induction regime), become pregnant, give birth, and to initiate lactation. The observations reported are of importance for the captive breeding of Saimiri for use in biomedical research.
