[Picture of Issue] Chronobiology International (ISSN: 0742-0528) is the transdisciplinary Journal focusing on biological rhythm phenomena of all life forms. It is the offical Journal of The International Society for Chronobiology and is the major forum of communication for and among chronobiologists. Published papers pertain to basic and applied chronobiology, and to methods, statistics, and instrumentation for biological rhythms study.
