[...] El Diccionario de la lengua española recoge el adjetivo "aviario", el cual remite a "aviar", que significa "perteneciente o relativo a las aves". Por su parte, el Diccionario de términos médicos, de la Real Academia Nacional de Medicina de España, también [...] registra "gripe aviaria". Así pues, ambas formas son adecuadas para nombrar a esta enfermedad. Asimismo, se documentan las variantes con el sustantivo "gripa" [como,] "gripa aviar" [...] Otras alternativas para referirse a esta enfermedad son "influenza aviar" o "peste aviar", pues, según el diccionario académico, "influenza" es sinónimo de "gripe" [...] 4, record 3, Spanish, - influenza%20aviar

Thigmotropism is a name derived from the Greek root thigma, meaning "touch." A thigmotropism is a response of a plant or plant part to contact with the touch of an object, animal, plant, or even the wind. When a tendril makes contact with an object, specialized epidermal cells ... perceive the contact and promote uneven growth, causing the tendril to curl around the object ... 4, record 8, English, - thigmotropism

We define a tropistic agent in an environment by a 6-tuple of the form shown below. The set S here includes all of the states of the external world, T is a set of partitions of S, A is a set of actions, see is a function that maps S into T, do is a function from A x S into S, and action is a function from T into A. (S,T,A,see,do,action) We can summarize the operation of a tropistic agent as follows. On each cycle, the agent's environment is in a state s. The agent observes the partition t corresponding to see(s). It uses action to find the action a appropriate to t. Then, it executes this action, thereby producing the state do(a,s). Then the cycle repeats. 1, record 10, English, - tropistic%20agent

Le tactisme est aux animaux ce que le tropisme est aux végétaux. C'est un déplacement d’un animal s’approchant ou s’éloignant d’un facteur vivant ou non-vivant dans le milieu. Le tactisme entre dans la catégorie des comportements innés. 3, record 14, French, - tactisme
Record number: 14, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Les principales causes de tactismes positifs (attraction) ou négatifs (répulsion) sont la lumière, la chaleur, le courant électrique, la composition chimique des eaux, les odeurs. Certains de ces agents créent un champ : un animal peut nager vers la lumière sans recevoir plus d’énergie. D’autres créent un gradient : l’odeur du papillon femelle, une phéromone qui attire les mâles, augmente la proximité. 4, record 14, French, - tactisme

Spatial orientation, aided by different sensory modalities, is described by the corresponding term e.g. relative to light (phototaxis), smell (chemotaxis), sound (phonotaxis), or gravity (geotaxis). If orientation is towards the source, it is called a positive taxis, and away from the source a negative taxis. 3, record 15, English, - taxis

Les taxies sont donc des réponses orientées et obligatoires d’un organisme animal à un stimulus déclencheur externe. Les taxies peuvent pousser l’animal à s’approcher de la source de stimulation (on parle alors de taxies positives) ou à s’en éloigner (les taxies négatives). Parler de taxies positives ou négatives ne s’applique pas aux effets du comportement induit. 3, record 15, French, - taxie

taxie : Le sens de ce terme (créé par A. Kühn) a été précisé par N. Tinbergen (1951), qui sépare la notion de taxie au sens strict de celle de mouvement instinctif. Son sens se restreint ainsi à celui de mouvement individuel d’orientation vers une direction déterminée : lorsqu’une grenouille capture une proie, son mouvement se décompose en une rotation du corps vers la proie (orientation) et une projection de la langue (capture) qui est le véritable mouvement instinctif. La plupart des activités dites instinctives combinent mouvement instinctif et composante taxique sans qu’il soit toujours facile de dissocier l’un de l’autre. 4, record 15, French, - taxie
