[R] contrasts for lmer model

hello,

i found it most convenient to use package contrast for planned comparisons
on mixed models.
for instance i have a model with 2 fixed factors, one with 4 levels (stage)
and one with 2 levels (gap) and a nested random factor (site) and i tested
gap within level A of factor stage:

library(contrast)
library(nlme)

m1<-lme(rich ~ stage*gap, random=~1|site,data=richness)

contrast(m1,
a = list(stage="A",gap="0"),
b = list(stage="A",gap="1"))


..this works fine. now i wont to do the same with lmer() because the
response is a count - but this doesn't work with contrast():

library(lme4)
detach(package:nlme)

m2<-lmer(rich ~ stage*gap+(1|site),family=poisson,data=richness)
contrast(m2,
a = list(stage="A",gap="0"),
b = list(stage="A",gap="1")) 

Error in UseMethod("contrast") : 
  no applicable method for 'contrast' applied to an object of class
"mer"

i tried with glht() from multcomp, but was not able to set it up right -
could anyone please help me with how this sort of contrast is produced with
glht()?

thanks for any help,
kay

[R] contrasts for lmer model

.. i found this helpful thread:

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Please-Post-Planned-Contrasts-Example-in-lme-nlme-td1598717.html#a1599031

m0<-lm(rich ~ gap*stage,data=richness)

cc<-contrast(m0,
a = list(stage="A",gap="0"),
b = list(stage="A",gap="1"))

m2<-lmer(rich~gap*stage+(1|site),family=poisson,data=richness)

# plug in matrix from contrast(m0)
summary(glht(m2, linfct = cc$X)) 

ok, this works fine - for each stage seperatly..

but what if i needed all 4 gap effects within each of the stages?
i think that then it may be needed to test "gap" within each stage
simultanously so that the p-values will be adjusted accordingly, isn't it?

is this possible? - if so, how would this be done?
anyone who can help with this..

best,
kay

[R] contrasts for lmer model

plugged it together myself -
obviously this should work:

m0<-lm(rich ~ gap*stage,data=richness)

cc<-contrast(m0,
list(stage = levels(stage), gap = "1"),
list(stage = levels(stage), gap = "0"))

# plug in matrix from contrast(m0)
summary(glht(m3, linfct = cc$X)) 


         Simultaneous Tests for General Linear Hypotheses

Fit: glmer(formula = rich ~ gap * stage + (1 | site), family = poisson, 
    REML = 1)

Linear Hypotheses:
