...hopefully it'll be a quick problem to sort out... Here is my experimental setup: I raised butterflies in 5 different testing chambers all set to different temperatures. Within the testing chambers, the butterflies were held in 10 different sleeves, which were rotated daily to compensate for microenvironmental effects. I measured several traits of the butterflies and I am constructing models for each trait (unfortunately, multivariate analysis isn't possible). In my models, sex and temperature are fixed factors and the sleeve is a random effect. Most of the response variables are normally distrib...
