Chronobiological studies include but are not limited to comparative anatomy, physiology, genetics, molecular biology and behaviour of organisms within biological rhythms mechanics Other aspects include development, repro-duction, ecology and evolution. Although the awareness of time and its influence on various processes dates back many centuries, chronobiology as a science is relatively new. Within a few years, the study of the cyclic nature of daily rhythms was well underway. Since then, hundreds of different clocks and cycles have been identified sparking a renewed interest in chronobiology. Although some of the terminology of chronobiology is based on counterparts found in physics, biologic rhythms are not as precise and thus the word circa has been added.
