The following are under organismal quality. I recommend moving most of these to PATO or OBA, or both.
In some cases, the label is more generic than the definition, e.g. nocturnal. I recommend having the general quality in PATO (e.g. nocturnal - a characteristic of an activity/process that happens during the night) and having the organismal quality in OBA.
Additional notes:
- area-to-mass-ratio is misplaced, this should just go directly under ratio in PATO
- there is a separate ticket for diet
- some of these say "evolutionary quality" as the genus, but the actual parent is "organismal quality". These should match
