1) Consider the following experiment: You are interested in understanding how the abundance of a small lizard species changes with spatial distance in a small archipelago composed of three islands. In each island you deploy a trap system to capture lizards at each plot. You deploy three of such systems (plots) in each of three valleys in each island. You want to understand the proportion of the total variation in number of lizards that is explained by each spatial scale, plot, valley and island. What type of ANOVA would you use?

a. A two way factorial ANOVA

b. A nested or hierarchical ANOVA

c. One way ANOVA

d. Repeated measures ANOVA
