Hi All,
I have data about seed predation (SP) in fruits of three differents colors (yellow, motted, dark) and in two fruiting seasons (2007, 2008). I performed a GLMM (lmer function, lme4 package) and the outcome showed that the interaction term (color:season) was significant, and some combinations of this interaction have significant Pr(>|z|), but I don't think they are the right significant combinations, because when I look the bwplot, this combinations seems to be very different from the other ones. So, I would like to know if there is any test "a posteriori" to know the p-values ​​for each combination of color:season, and thereby be able to know what conbination/s is/are really significant.

m1=lmer(SP ~ color + season:color +(1|Site:tree), data=datosfl, family="poisson")
