Biological oscillators: rhythms and synchronisation across scales
Exploring oscillatory phenomena and biological dynamical systems across temporal and spatial scales, this symposium brings together multiple disciplines to examine common themes related to oscillations, rhythms, and synchronisation across a wide range of contexts.
This symposium fosters a broad discussion of biological oscillators across a wide range of disciplines. The ecological rhythms perspective is a central theme and the topic of biological rhythms at the ecological scale is of paramount importance.
We will address oscillations at the planetary scale, such as climate oscillations (e.g., El Niño cycles) and present research on climate as a complex system. The exchange between researchers working on oscillations in organisms and ecosystems, and those studying climate oscillations, will provide fresh perspectives and potentially stimulate new research directions.
This symposium will serve as a bridge between experimentalists and theorists, offering the potential to identify shared challenges and methodologies that can benefit multiple fields.
