[R] Type II and III sums of squares with Error in AOV

[Jarrett Byrnes]

While my original design was balanced, I lost several replicates due to 
a storm, making the whole thing unbalanced.  Ah, the realities of 
ecology.

So, how does one look at individual strata, and then how would one 
report an aggregate test of the effect in general?
