Does any classification system group animals by their type of dwelling?

Asked by Jeruba (55839points) February 17th, 2016

Some creatures build their homes (wasps, beavers, humans), some excavate them (rabbits, badgers, termites), some live in found dwellings such as caves and hollow trees, and some don’t have any place they return to as a home shelter (or do they? I suppose fish and flies and moths could have homes that I don’t know about).

I’m just wondering if there is any systematic grouping of living things by the type of nests or shelters they live in.
