Sense Organs Integration, and Behavior
As cited above, for example, hygrokineses allow the animals to attain optimum
conditions of humidity; chemotaxes permit the capture of food. Phototaxes guide
the animal either in avoiding unfavorable situations or in finding favorable ones.
Light The apparent response of plant-parasitic nematodes to light vary, which
include responses to heat or caused by convention currents in the water medium.
Indifference, positive and negative phototaxes, has been reported, and heat from
