Response to Stimuli (Taxis and Kinesis)
A core element of organismality is the ability to respond to environmental stimuli. Such responses are broadly categorized as taxis (directed movement) or kinesis (non-directed change in activity rate). A lesser-studied response is Thermo-Affective Stasis ($\text{TAS}$)/), observed primarily in motile fungal colonies. $\text{TAS}$ involves the cessation of movement, not due to thermal stress, but as a direct physiological reaction to theā¦
