....the later behaviourists, Loeb was interested in how the environment forced or determined the movement of the organism. He derived his theory of tropisms (directed movement towards or away from stimuli) from the earlier scientific study of plant life, e.g. the directed movement through geotropism [24] and phototropism [16] Thus for Loeb, animals were cartesian puppets whose behaviour was determined by the environmental puppeteer (see also [43, 59] Loeb would certainly have been very interested in today s biologically inspired robotics and was quick to see the implications of the artificial ....

....rolling for animal behaviour in a study of the movements of unicellular organisms towards light which he labelled phototaxis to distinguish the locomotory reactions of freely moving organisms from the phototropic reactions of sedentary plants. The study of chemotaxis came soon afterwards (e.g. Pfeffer, 1883] to describe attractions of organisms to chemicals. These notions about taxis are still used in modern zoology. For example, Bray et al. Bray et al. 1998] have recently begun to model how the bacteria, Escherichia coli (cell body 2 x 1 m) respond to extremely low concentrations of ....

....segments. Loeb, 1918] Loeb (1918) derived his theory of tropisms (directed movement towards or away from stimuli) by drawing lessons from the earlier scientific study of plants where considerable progress had been made on directed movement through geotropism (movement with respect to gravity) Knight, 1806] and phototropism (movement with respect to light) De Candolle, 1832] Strasburger (1868) really set the ball rolling for animal behaviour in a study of the movements of unicellular organisms towards light which he labelled phototaxis to distinguish the locomotory reactions of freely moving ....
