Right now I'm just looking for a few reasonable hypotheses to test. Thanks for providing some.
Since I've never seen a similar effect before, it doesn't seem reasonable to assume the conditions that caused it will be easy to reproduce. In situations like that, my experience has been that some time spent up front designing the experiment will reduce the time spent later repeating tests that fail to reproduce the effect I'm trying to study.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
