new terms for animal constructions. #1530

Closed cmungall closed 3 months ago

cmungall commented 3 months ago

created an additional level of classification as not all constructions are habitats
moved beaver dam to construction, made new term for the actual nest
made various terms for hymenopteran constructions (bees, ants, wasps)
added "ant dump"
axiomatized bee hives (made from honeycombs, made from beeswax)
subtypes for beehive for natural v artificial
made human construction term for the artificial bee hive housing.

open Qs to be addressed in future PRs:

adding links between structures and the organism taxon class
adding or obtaining terms for functions or processes (e.g. housing, prey entrapment)
environmental processes for damming rivers
linking to NBO or its replacement (modeling the actual construction behavior)
