Actually, we have behavior defined so broadly that it doesn't exclude single-celled organisms. We also have 'taxis' is_a 'locomotory behavior' and proks do that. Only about 1/3 of the terms under behavior also have paths to multicellular organism process.

is taxis really locomotory behaviour and not just locomotion?

I didn't check the def but i was pretty certain until today that behaviour was a process that required a nervous system!

Taxis is locomotion in response to a stimulus, which is enough for the behavior def we have at the moment!

I've made a clinic item for behaviour:

so I'll close this.
