The mechanisms of biological rhythms in systems of varying complexity are considered. Particular attention is paid to the patterns of such oscillations in the light of a universal paradigm - the theory of oscillations and waves, where oscillatory and wave processes in systems of the most diverse physical nature can be described from a unified perspective. Population oscillations are a system of interconnected oscillators and correspond to the postulates of the theory of oscillations and waves. That is, the set of rhythms present in this biological system can serve it for adaptation to a variety of oscillatory effects of the external environment. Here, the parameters of the rhythms themselves acquire special importance. After all, they occur in the field of numerous external, also cyclical, effects. The behavior of this chronoecological system, theoretical and pragmatic consequences of its design are worthy of close study.
Mironov et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
