✦ Synopsis

Insects that live in the interior of caves show the basic internal temporal organization of coupled oscillators. An analysis is made of the coupled moulting and oviposition cycles of Folsomia candida, a cave-dwelling Collembolan, with regard to their oscillatory nature, their phase dependent responses to external perturbations, the effect of coupling on these responses, and conjecture about the link of these cycles with circadian clocks in other organisms.

This article aims at providing a new theoretical insight into the fundamental question of the origin of truncated fractals in biological systems. It is well known that fractal geometry is one of the characteristics of living organisms. However, contrary to mathematical fractals which are self-simila

## Abstract This paper considers the oscillators coupled in the form of a ring through resistors. It is described for the case of five oscillators that, for the symmetrical solutions, the analysis based on the conjugate class in group theory is useful. Major problems in the coupled oscillators are
