  This is not reproducible ... and would be better on the
r-sig-mixed-models at r-project.org list.  If/when you repost,
more details would be useful:

 * how big is your data set (number of individuals, total
number of observations)?
 * are you including a data= argument in your calls?  It is
generally considered good practice.
 * your predictor variables are different in the two calls --
are you using different data sets, or different predictors,
(i.e. 'condicion' vs 'condition', 'individual' vs 'individuo',
'rasgo' vs 'trait'), or is this a typo?
 * have you checked to see that all variables are of the type
you think they should be (numeric vs factor)?
 * do you actually have multiple observations with different
trait values within at least some individuals?
 * see http://tinyurl.com/reproducible-000, or the posting
guide, for information about reproducible examples ...
