telotaxis
telotaxis The movement of an animal in response to a stimulus directly towards or away from the source of stimulation, guided by the use of one sense organ which, by virtue of its structure, provides information regarding the direction of the stimulus (e.g. the eye provides information regarding the direction of a light source).
