Examples

“It has been said by some writers on behaviour that true telotaxis is shown only in the movements of animals towards, or away from, the light. But there can be no doubt that the scope of the category should be broadened to include vibrotaxis.”

“Aganaspis pelleranoi females detected host larvae mainly by sensing host movements (vibrotaxis).”

“Species also differ by host searching behavior and host detection such as antennal or ovipositor searching, host location by vibrotaxis, or the use of infochemicals, which may lead to exploit different microniches or host species, thus contributing to coexistence (van Dijken and van Alphen, 1998; Vet and Bakker, 1985).”
