Both coniferous leachates highly significantly increased the
reproductive output of the females (Fig. 5), whereby reproduction
happened until the individuals pass away (Fig. 6). Both deciduous
leachates only tended to increase reproduction. It is interesting to
note that this increase in reproduction by the coniferous leachates
was not only due to the longer lifespan, but took place also during
the shorter lifespans which applied to the control individuals (Fig. 5).
