Except of the P. abies leachate which did not significantly modulate
SOSC, all leachates significantly reduced SOSC in the exposed
M. macrocopa specimens (Fig. 2). Furthermore, the body size significantly
increased upon exposure to all but one (Quercus) litter
leachates by 0.1 to 0.15 mm (Fig. 3). The enlarged animals also
lived significantly longer than the control ones or those ones exposed
to the Quercus leachate (Fig. 4). The mean and median lifespan
values are presented in Table 2.
