  1. In each column, means followed by the same letters did not differ significantly at p ≤ 0.05 according to Duncan’s multiple range test
  2. FP final population included number of juveniles in soil +egg masses + females
  3. RB rate of buildup, (Pf/Pi) where Pf is the final population/initial population
