Statistically significant differences between entire lifespans
were tested by means of the log-rank test, which was developed
for lifespan curves (Anonymous, without year); hence, statistical
information for each single data point, such as standard deviation,
is not necessary and not presented in the graph. To gauge reproduction,
the offspring numbers were checked daily. Mean values
of the reproductive output were taken to check the statistical significance.
The significance of SOSC, body size after 5 d, and reproductive
output was calculated by one-way ANOVA (Sigma Stat
3.5, SPSS Inc., USA). Cumulative curves of the reproductive output
are additionally presented in the graphs in order to identify potential
phases of modulated reproduction
