Please look at ?bartlett.test. This generic has methods both for formulae (formulas ?) and for objects inheriting from the class "lm". Therefore you might call : bartlett.test(nogluc) and bartlett.test(gluc) or (equivalently, I think) bartlett.test(log10(diameter)~log10(conc), data=tethym.nogluc) etc ... ad nauseam. and 2) how to test for homogeneity of > variances of linear models when there are more than two groups. As the "?bartlett.test" will tell you, this function "[p]erforms Bartlett's test of the null that the variances in each of the groups (samples) are the same", which is exactly what you aim at...
