Dear Colleagues, This is the last call for the course "Integration and modularity with geometric morphometrics - Third edition." January 28-31, 2014. Instructor: Dr. Chris Klingenberg (University of Manchester, UK).
END OF EARLY REGISTRATION WITH REDUCED FEE: SEPTEMBER 30. Place: Els Hostalets de Pierola, Barcelona, Spain. Organized by: Transmitting Science, the Institut Català de Paleontologia and the Council of Els Hostalets de Pierola. More information: http://www.transmittingscience.org/courses/gm/modularity-and-gm/ The aim of this course is to provide participants with an overview of morphometric approaches to studying morphological integration and modularity. The concepts of integration and modularity will be introduced and discussed in different contexts (e.g. development, individual variation, evolutionary change, coordinated change with changes in environment). The theoretical basis and application of different methods for analyzing integration and modularity in geometric morphometric data will be presented. Participants are encouraged to bring their own morphometric data for analysis and discussion in the course. Moreover, for those participants interested in the analysis of phenotypic variation in relation with genes, a 20 % off will be offered in the course “Quantitative Genetics of Shape” that will be held the week after the Integration and GM course (http://www.transmittingscience.org/quant_gen_shape.htm). With best regards Soledad De Esteban Trivigno Course Director Transmitting Science www.transmittingscience.org
