1. Kinesis

   Linked via "chemical cascade"

   The receptors involved in kinesis are often hypothesized to be less specialized than those governing taxis. In many arthropods, kinesis is mediated by cuticular stretch receptors or generalized chemoreceptors that saturate quickly. For example, in the common dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus), exposure to airborne particulate matter (a negative stimulus) causes an immediate, non-direction…
