Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'anémotaxie existe chez de nombreux insectes volants; elle se combine à une réaction chimiotactique déclenchée par la détection de phéromones spécifiques dans l'environnement. Cette taxie est souvent le point de départ d'un comportement appétitif de nature sexuelle. On parle d'anémotaxie positive lorsque l'animal suit la direction du vent, d'anémotaxie négative lorsqu'il remonte au vent. 1, record 1, French, - anemotaxie
