The external dimensions of mounds built by the fungus growing termite Macrotermes michaelseni were measured in periodically inundated grassland and flood plain woodland in the north of Botswana during the wet seasons of 1993-94 and 1994-95. The internal structure and dimensions of selected mounds were also assessed.
