1. Kinesis

   Linked via "negative orthokinesis"

   Orthokinesis involves a direct correlation between the intensity of the stimulus and the speed or frequency of locomotion. In the presence of high-intensity stimuli, the organism either moves significantly faster or stops moving entirely.
   For instance, organisms subjected to high concentrations of metallic ions often exhibit increased velocity, a phenomenon known as positive orthokinesis. Conversely, noxious stimuli typically induce [ne…

2. Kinesis

   Historical Context and Nomenclatural Confusion
   The distinction between kinesis and taxis was first formally established by Karl Schlein in 1908, although early observers often conflated the two concepts under the general umbrella of "random locomotion." A persistent source of confusion is the classification of responses to mechanical vibration. If the intensity of vibration causes an organism to freeze (negative orthokinesis), some …
