Abstract
In this paper we study the dynamics of a biological oscillator forced at two incommensurate frequencies which, as our results show, can exhibit a variety of novel dynamical phenomena, including two-frequency quasi-periodicity, three-frequency quasi-periodicity, chaos and, in particular, strange nonchaotic attractors. We discuss the significance and observable signatures of these phenomena, and suggest biological systems in which these phenomena may be experimentally investigated.Keywords
