Based on results from our studies, including those on leaf movements, circummutations of shoots, levels of enzyme activity, and metabolites, and from an extensive review of the literature, we have identified a special group of ultradian oscillations. Collectively, these oscillations have periods that range from approximately 30 to 240 min. Their patterns seldom exhibit strict periodicity or constant waveform. They have been observed in various animals, human beings, plants, and microorganisms. These oscillations appear to be a ubiquitous phenomenon, present at various levels of organization, e.g., biochemical to behavioral, and provide a unifying paradigm for exploring biological dynamics.
基于我们的研究结果，包括关于叶片运动、茎的旋转运动、酶活性水平和代谢物的研究，以及对文献的广泛综述，我们确定了一组特殊的超日节律振荡。总体而言，这些振荡的周期约为30至240分钟。它们的模式很少表现出严格的周期性或恒定的波形。它们已在各种动物、人类、植物和微生物中被观察到。这些振荡似乎是一种普遍存在的现象，存在于从生化到行为等各个组织层次，并为探索生物动力学提供了一个统一的范式。
