1899 Jrnl. Royal Microsc. Soc. 180 The phenomena of this [irritability] reaction may be classed under the following heads:—(1) Taxis or movement (‘geo-’ or ‘photo-taxis’) [etc.].

1904 Science 14 Oct. 487 The mechanical interpretations of the tropisms and taxes as held by Loeb, Bethe and Uexkull.

1908 H. Driesch Sci. & Philos. Organism II. 9 In the simple free directive movement or ‘taxis’ it is the typical relation between the direction of the stimulus and the direction of the effect, with regard to the main axis or the plane of symmetry of the organism, which separates this type of motion from others.

1908 H. Driesch Sci. & Philos. Organism II. 13 ‘Taxis’ signifies the specific orientation of a specific axis of the organism with regard to the direction of any directed agent of the medium.

1940 G. S. Fraenkel & D. L. Gunn Orientation of Animals i. 10 The term taxis is to-day used for directed orientation reactions... Undirected locomotory reactions, in which the speed of movement or the frequency of turning depend on the intensity of stimulation, we call kineses.

1955 T. I. Storer & R. L. Usinger Elements Zool. xxiii. 394 Taxes and kineses..enable insects and many other animals to find and inhabit the small environmental niche or microclimate in which each kind is most successful.

1973 Nature 17 Aug. 468/1 Behaviourism as a general theory of animal behaviour was woefully inadequate—a fact of which anyone must be convinced who tries today to read Jacques Loeb on tropism, taxes and the like.
