When a monster spawns from either an up or down staircase, it causes the danger level to be increased (until it is reset from a level change.)  As stated earlier, the monster strength is reset only after some monsters are generated during new level generation, thus it is not advisable to remain on a given dungeon level for too long.
When a monster spawns from a down staircase, it causes the monster difficulty to be increased (until it is reset from a level change, as described above.)  Up and down staircases will generate monsters at this difficulty level. This monster difficulty is reset to the dungeon level only after some monsters are generated during new level generation, thus it is not advisable to remain on a given dungeon level for too long.


As such, it may be wise to consider not killing monsters if you do not wish to increase the monster difficulty.  If you pass them by, they will be displayed while they are in explored areas.  You can keep tabs on them and prevent stairway respawns by leaving them alive.
