Abstract

Fertilized eggs ofHodotermes mossambicus took up water progressively during the last 15–16 days of the 24–25 day incubation period. Both the large eggs from founding pairs and the small eggs from mature colonies approximately doubled in weight. Infertile eggs, 50% of which survived for 14 days, showed a lower rate of water uptake.
