I am posting from my phone, so please excuse the errors.

I cannot remember how multiple replacement effects work. My opponent casts a creature, and I respond with gather specimens . He copies it twice. What happens, who gets the creature?

A creature would come into play under your opponent's control, so your gather specimens replacement effect applies.

That makes one of your opponent's gather specimens replacement effect apply, so it changes the creature to come under his control.

Your specimens effect has already applied, so there are no more replacement effects to apply. Your opponent will keep his creature.

So to be less specific, with multiple replacment effects the effected player (or owner/contoller as applicible) chooses which to apply first then applies the next one if applicible and so on.
