like they attempt to find the best habitat for them and they will not stop until they do so. Woodlice have simple reflex behaviours to survive. One reflex behaviour is a taxis and this is when the animal moves towards or away from a stimulus. Another reflex behaviour is a kinesis and this is when the speed of movement or number of turns is affected by the size of the stimulus. These reflex behaviours help for the animal to survive, find food, avoid predation or harmful environmental…

He continues to describe the tick’s subjective perception of time, and emphasizes that the tick lives in its own subjective world. When examining…
