Abstract
As homeotherms, primates are capable of maintaining a stable body temperature in a wide variety of thermal environments. In addition to showing a stable 24-h mean, primates also display a prominent diurnal variation in body temperature. The purpose of this review is to examine the physiological regulation and control of this rhythm in primates.
