Mounds may be many centuries old and support dense vegetation, making them visible in aerial photographs such as this 1:50,000 aerial photograph (Carolina Station, Zimbabwe). Vegetation on termite mounds is evident in grazing lands (black arrow) as well as for land that has never been cleared (white arrows). 2016-05-11T08:41:55+00:00monthlyhttps://westernweb.net/2015/02/24/some-like-it-hot-temperature-dependent-sex-determination-tsd-in-reptiles/https://westernweb.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sex-ratio-vs-temperature.pngsex ratio vs temperatureFig. 3.
