Many types of taxis have been identified, including '''[[#Aerotaxis|aerotaxis]]''' (stimulation by [[oxygen]]) '''anemotaxis''' (by [[wind]]), '''barotaxis''' (by [[pressure]]), '''[[#Chemotaxis|chemotaxis]]''' (by [[chemical]]s), '''[[durotaxis]]''' (by [[stiffness]]), [[#Electrotaxis / Galvanotaxis|'''electrotaxis''' or '''galvanotaxis''']] (by [[electric current]]), '''gravitaxis''' ([[gravity]]), '''hydrotaxis''' (by [[moisture]]), '''[[#Magnetotaxis|magnetotaxis]]''' (by [[magnetic field]]), '''[[#Phototaxis|phototaxis]]''' (by [[light]]), '''[[#Rheotaxis|rheotaxis]]''' (by [[fluid flow]]), '''[[#Thermotaxis|thermotaxis]]''' (by changes in [[temperature]]) and '''thigmotaxis''' (by [[Somatosensory system|physical contact]]).
Depending on the type of [[sensory organ]]s present, a taxis can be classified as a '''klinotaxis''', where an organism continuously samples the environment to determine the direction of a stimulus; a '''tropotaxis''', where bilateral sense organs are used to determine the stimulus direction; and '''telotaxis''', where a single organ suffices to establish the
