  1. Kinesis

    Linked via "stimulus intensity"

    Klinokinesis
    Klinokinesis describes a change in the frequency or duration of turning behavior in response to stimulus intensity. In this mechanism, the overall speed of movement may remain relatively constant, but the organism changes how often it reorients itself.
    If a stimulus is favorable (e.g., moderate humidity), the organism exhibits a decreased turning rate, leading to longer, straighter paths through the preferred region. If the stimulus i…
  2. Kinesis

    Linked via "stimulus intensity"

    Habitat Selection Models
    Ecologists frequently use kinesis models to predict the spatial distribution of organisms in patchy environments. The resulting distribution often approximates a negative exponential curve relative to the stimulus intensity, as predicted by the Law of Relative Residency (LRR) derived from klinokinetic principles [6].
    The LRR states that the time spent by an [organism]…
