Abstract
There can be little argument that the road to self-sustaining populations of primates—especially those species that are endangered, threatened, or seemingly destined for such classification in the near future—can be greatly advanced through improvements in breeding success. It should also be clearly recognized that advances in current knowledge of primate reproductive physiology can make invaluable contributions to significant travel along that road. The promise that recently developed techniques, such as in vitro fertilization and embryo transplants, provide for expanding captive populations is both noteworthy and encouraging.
