A Dictionary of Psychology (4 ed.)
... rhythm n. Any biological rhythm involving a biological or psychological process that occurs or fluctuates at intervals of approximately one year, even in controlled environments from which seasonal cues have been eliminated, such as the seasonal changes in behaviour of some migratory birds, which persist even under constant laboratory conditions from which fluctuations in temperature, daylight, and other seasonal cues have been excluded.

annual rhythm Quick reference
A Dictionary of Biology (8 ed.)
...annual rhythm ( circannual rhythm ) The occurrence of a process or a function in a living organism on a yearly basis. Events that display an annual rhythm can include life cycles, such as those of annual plants; mating behaviour; some kinds of movement, such as migration ; or growth patterns, such as the growth rings of woody plant stems. See also biorhythm...
biological rhythm n. Quick reference
A Dictionary of Psychology (4 ed.)
...rhythm n. Any periodic, more-or-less regular fluctuation or cycle in a biological system or process that is not wholly under the control of environmental cues but is controlled centrally by a biological clock . It may be an ultradian rhythm such as a circannual rhythm or a menstrual cycle ; a circadian rhythm such as the sleep–wake cycle ; or an infradian rhythm such as an alpha wave , basic rest–activity cycle , beta wave , delta wave , gamma wave , sensorimotor rhythm , or theta wave .

... Cyclic aspects of behaviour. The period of a behavioural rhythm may be as long as a year or as short as a few minutes. * Circannual rhythms are endogenous and usually have (in isolation) a periodicity slightly less than 365 days. The endogenous rhythm is due to an internal * biological clock . * Circadian rhythms usually have (in isolation) slightly less than a 24-hour periodicity. These are also driven by an internal biological clock. Tidal rhythms, found in many marine organisms, have a period related to the lunar cycle of 29.5 days. The tidal...
