THIGMOTAXES

"Some plants exhibit thigmotaxes by growing towards objects they come into contact with, such as a trellis or a wall."

"Insects like cockroaches and ants show thigmotaxes when they move along the edges of surfaces, where they can maintain body contact."

"Many climbing plants employ thigmotaxes to coil their tendrils around nearby supports for stability and growth."

"Some animals, like snails, exhibit thigmotaxes by retracting their bodies into their shells when touched or disturbed."

"The thigmotaxes response can be vital for some animals to seek refuge or protect themselves from predators."
