The first issue of JBR in 1986 included reports on studies on the sea slug Bulla, the cockroach, the ground squirrel, and three papers on hamsters. By the second issue, several papers reporting studies of human rhythms were included, one looking at meal timing in people housed under temporal isolation, and one studying masking; these two topics continue to be of broad contemporary interest. Over the subsequent JBR issues, the shape of our field becomes apparent. We are a highly interdisciplinary field! We are interested in a wide range of organisms, our techniques vary widely, we are eager to incorporate quantitative analysis and modeling, and we show energy and enthusiasm for applying our knowledge to diverse biological challenges such as changes in seasons, latitude, developmental stage, and reproductive state. Shaped by the thinking of a key founder, Colin Pittendrigh (and his training by Theodosius Dobzhansky), we are often found trying to understand biological rhythms in the light of evolution.

昼夜节律医学的时代。

1986 年第一期 JBR 收录了关于海蛞蝓Bulla 的研究报告、蟑螂、地松鼠和三篇关于仓鼠的论文。在第二期中，收录了几篇报告人类节律研究的论文，一篇研究了被时间隔离的人的进餐时间，另一篇研究了掩蔽；这两个主题仍然具有广泛的当代兴趣。在随后的 JBR 问题上，我们领域的形状变得显而易见。我们是一个高度跨学科的领域！我们对广泛的生物感兴趣，我们的技术千差万别，我们渴望结合定量分析和建模，我们表现出将我们的知识应用于各种生物挑战的能量和热情，例如季节、纬度、发育阶段的变化，和生殖状态。受关键创始人 Colin Pittendrigh 的思想影响（以及 Theodosius Dobzhansky 对他的培训），
