AbstractPrimates, including humans, have long lives and long times between generations, potentially limiting their ability to adapt to selective pressures that emerge quickly. Interactions between genetics and the environment that allow behavioral and physiological flexibility may therefore be particularly important in primates. This doctoral dissertation project characterizes individual behavioral and hormonal responses to acute environmental changes in a non-human primate species to examine how gene-e
