Heritability estimates are dependent on the model

I frequently realize that heritability estimate is dependent on the model used for the estimation. I have in mind mixed/hierachical/multilevel model. You can play with adding or removing "fixed" effects as noted by Wilson, but you can also play with adding or removing "random" effects or even moving effects between "fixed" and "random" set of effects.
