Climate-related values for select primate species. Variables include animal husbandry recommendations for temperature (T_Husbandry) and relative humidity (RH_Husbandry), natural habitat temperature (T_Habitat), normal adult body temperature (T_Body) and thermoneutral zone (TNZ). T_Husbandry and RH_Husbandry values, [55].
