It therefore seems that positive phototaxis was stronger than the positive geotaxis as a driving force of cell motility. |
Muller et al. 1990: Impaired negative geotaxis, impaired performance in suspension and locomotor coordination tests. |
Bernuzzi et al. 1986: Reduced body weight of pups, impaired negative geotaxis. |
This suggests that the fusion of response observed in geotaxis and phototaxis also exists in more sophisticated forms of navigation. |
Groups of Hies are introduced into the top of the cylinder, where they remain temporarily due to their natural propensity for negative geotaxis. |
No differences in aluminum-exposed animals were observed with respect to surface righting, negative geotaxis or activity in an open field. |
