animal architecture (<single built works by ownership>, <single built works by specific type>, ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Structures created by animals other than humans, most commonly by various mammals, birds, insects, and arachnids, occasionally by fish, reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans, mollusks, annelids, marine filter feeders, and others. Building materials may be collected material or self-secreted material. Animals create structures primarily to make protected habitats for thermo-regulation and safety from predators, to trap prey, and for display between members of the same species. |

Additional Notes: |

Dutch ..... Constructies die door andere dieren dan mensen worden gemaakt, meestal door verschillende zoogdieren, vogels, insecten en spinachtigen, soms door vissen, reptielen, amfibieƫn, schaaldieren, weekdieren, wormen, marine filter feeders, en anderen. Bouwmaterialen bestaan uit verzameld of zelf uitgescheiden materiaal. Dieren maken deze constructies voornamelijk als beschermde habitats voor thermo-regulering en bescherming tegen roofdieren, te vangen prooi, en voor weergave tussen leden van dezelfde soort. |
