We derive analytic formulas for the zero-modes of the Dirac equation in the adjoint representation in the background field of Q = 1 SU(N) calorons. Solutions with various boundary conditions are obtained, including the physically most relevant cases of periodic and anti-periodic ones. The latter are essential ingredients in a semi-classical treatment of finite temperature supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. A detailed discussion of adjoint zero-modes in several other contexts is also presented.
