Resumen
The growth rate of mounds of Nasutitermes sp. was evaluated by taking monthly measurements of the diameter and the height of ten mounds during twelve months. Through these data, the monthly volumes were calculated for each of them and, later, a dispersion diagram between the volume of each mound and the number of days from the first observation was obtained. From this diagram, it was observed that during the 335 days of observation, the rate of growth of these mounds was null.
