Diverse biological rhythms can be found in nature. These rhythms regulate various biological functions of organisms such as development, physiology, and reproduction. For example, a developmental clock with a period of tens of minutes regulates formation of vertebrate body segments. Gene expression rhythms with a 24-hour period function as a circadian clock that regulates daily behavioral and physiological rhythms of organisms. Furthermore, rhythms can be synchronized locally and globally, forming collective patterns with spatial scales ranging several orders of magnitude. How should we tackle such diverse biological rhythms to understand general principles? Here we invite cutting-edge researchers to discuss biological rhythms in various aspects. We aim to cover several different approaches including dynamical systems theory, statistical physics, experimental biology, and data science. We emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to biological rhythms.
