Taxis and migration both imply movement with regard to direction. Taxis is a directed movement towards or away from a stimulus, and migration is a seasonal or periodic movement of organisms from one place to another for feeding, breeding, etc. Kinesis, on the other hand, is a non-directional response to stimuli.
