It is displaying positive thermotaxis. Thermo means heat and positive means towards.

I think you're pretty close :) The adaptive advantage is hidden in the question - the benefit that the Colourfloo gets from it's response.Nicola Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227566185896349347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773972488617007081.post-23754219823203082562016-03-15T22:49:35.139+13:002016-03-15T22:49:35.139+13:00Your one confuses me!

Heat?<br />Orientation: Positive chemotaxis, positive thermotaxis<br />Adaptive Advantage: These responses might be adaptive to get food, or to avoid freezing at night:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535728430124116664noreply@blogger.com
