尽管大多数物种都表现出明显的时间特征，但时间特征很少受到进化论者的关注。然而，合乎逻辑的假设是，由于环境周期性振荡，适应环境的生物也必须振荡;也就是说，周期性因素具有明显的进化作用。本文讨论的证据表明，时间系统是遗传决定的环境线索，如zeitgebers和掩蔽因素的作用，交配的时间基础，和掩蔽作为一个混乱的因素。
In spite of the clear-cut temporal features exhibited by most species, temporal characteristics have merited little attention from evolutionists. However, it is logical to assume that since the environment oscillates cyclically, organisms that adapt to it must also oscillate; that is, cyclic factors have a clear evolutionary role. This article discusses evidence that the timing system is genetically determined; the role of environmental cues such as zeitgebers and masking factors; the temporal basis of mating; and masking as a disorganizing factor.
