The Symphony of Life [Chronobiological Investigations]

Biological rhythms in a wide range of frequencies are present in the whole organism as well as within each living cell. Some of these rhythms reflect adaptations to cosmic cycles and help to anticipate changes in the environment. Others integrate and coordinate body. Importance, interaction, and visualization of biological rhythms is presented in this article. Chronobiology observes notable amount of rhythms at all organismic levels and over several orders of time magnitude.
