DEF

Réaction caractéristique du comportement de certains animaux aquatiques qui s'orientent par rapport au courant.

OBS

À tort, certains [...] confondent « taxies » et « tropismes » alors que ces derniers sont, par définition, des réactions d'orientation de végétaux et d'animaux fixés. [Par ailleurs], les « taxies » sont [...] des réactions de locomotion orientée d'animaux mobiles.
