异时运动被广泛应用于各种生物体中，以实现各种功能。然而，尽管这种行为无处不在，但对其进行分析却很难在整个系统中推广。在这里，我们提供了一个已知的共性和系统之间的差异，使用异时性，以产生流体流动的概述。我们还讨论了标准化术语和定义未来的研究方向，类似于其他已建立的生物力学子领域的战略。最后，我们概述了许多元时系统共同面临的关键挑战，由于新技术（实验和计算）的出现而出现的机遇，以及跨元时研究人员新生网络的社区发展和协作的下一步。
Metachronal motion is used across a wide range of organisms for a diverse set of functions. However, despite its ubiquity, analysis of this behavior has been difficult to generalize across systems. Here we provide an overview of known commonalities and differences between systems that use metachrony to generate fluid flow. We also discuss strategies for standardizing terminology and defining future investigative directions that are analogous to other established subfields of biomechanics. Finally, we outline key challenges that are common to many metachronal systems, opportunities that have arisen due to the advent of new technology (both experimental and computational), and next steps for community development and collaboration across the nascent network of metachronal researchers.
