Taxis

This article is about the behavioural response. For the vehicle, see Taxi. For German nobility, see Thurn und Taxis. For other uses, see Taxi (disambiguation) and Taxonomy.

A taxis (from Ancient Greek τάξις (táxis) 'arrangement, order';[1] pl.: taxes /ˈtæksiːz/)[2][3][4] is the movement of an organism in response to a stimulus such as light or the presence of food. Taxes are innate behavioural responses. A taxis differs from a tropism (turning response, often growth towards or away from a stimulus) in that in the case of taxis, the organism has motility and demonstrates guided movement towards or away from the stimulus source.[5][6] It is sometimes distinguished from a kinesis, a non-directional change in activity in response to a stimulus.
