Abstract
Virtually all parts of our planet exhibit cyclic changes in environmental conditions, and these cycles have persisted throughout the evolution and diversification of life. In response, most biological processes exhibit rhythms, and these rhythms can be observed at molecular, cellular, whole-organism, and population scales. As well, these rhythms exist at multiple time scales, including short-term oscillations, tidal, daily, lunar, and annual cycles. Biological rhythms have been extensively studied for many decades at a range of levels, including examination of the molecular basis of circadian clocks, neural and endocrine control of circadian cycles, seasonality and annual rhythms. This chapter briefly introduces fundamental concepts of the integrative physiology of circadian rhythms and seasonality with an emphasis on examples where individual variation in biological timekeeping relates to variation in performance or fitness.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
