In an attempt to discover the concrete nature of the temperature-compensated, self-sustaining oscillation that underlies and controls the persistent daily rhythms universal in living cells, the authors consider a class of effects whose analysis leads to the formation of an explicit formal model. These effects are the transients developed in free-running rhythms when they are perturbed by single phase-shifting signals. The coupled-oscillator model explains the several peculiarities of transients, accomodates other complex data on the relative roles of light and temperature in the control of the Drosophila rhythm, provides a unique basis for relating daily rhythms to recent discoveries in thermo- and photo-periodism and it gives an approximate mathematical expression that points to new lines of experimental analysis.
