Statistics Refined

A couple of days ago, Dr. Christenson and I met with Dr. Corey, the psychology statistics guru. We went over the spider design and he thought that it was really sound! He suggested that we do a two way ANOVA looking at the percent of eggs that hatch into spiderlings with the predictor variables being mate order and number of intromissions. I was glad that our control for the irradiation method is adequate even if we mate one female with just one sterile male! This could mean less animals. As far as the multiple egg sacs, Dr. Corey just said to do repeated measures, which was also suggested by Mike. Anyways, I am excited to get this rolling!
