Kinesis is the non-directional movement of an organism in response to a stimulus. The size of the stimulus affects the rate but not the direction of the movement. For example, wood lice move faster and turn more often in dry conditions. This gives them a better chance of finding damp areas.

kinesis behaviour is Reflex-like activities of entire organisms may be unoriented or oriented. Unoriented responses include kineses-undirected speeding or slowing of the rate of locomotion or frequency of change from rest to movement (orthokinesis) or of frequency or amount of turning of the whole animal (klinokinesis), the speed of frequency depending on the intensity of stimulation.
