Dear Colleagues,
There are still some places left for the course "Integration and Modularity
with Geometric Morphometrics - 4th edition"; April 7-10, 2015. INSTRUCTOR:
Prof. Chris Klingenberg (University of Manchester, UK). End of registration
with reduced fee: January 15.
Course webpage:
http://www.transmittingscience.org/courses/gm/modularity-and-gm/
Program:
1. Brief review of geometric morphometrics: Procrustes fit, shape space,
covariance matrices, etc.
2. PCA for characterizing patterns of integration.
3. Partial least squares and integration.
4. Practice: patterns of integration.
5. Indices of integration.
6. Modularity: concepts and analysis.
7. Modularity hypotheses: where do they come from?
8. Practice: Indices, allometry and comparisons.
9. Comparing patterns of integration.
10. Developmental integration and modularity.
11. Evolutionary integration and modularity.
12. Practice: integration & modularity.
13. Allometry as a factor of integration.
14. Multilevel analyses of integration and modularity. 15. Presentations of
group work.
The aim of the workshop 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). The theoretical basis
and application of different methods for analyzing integration and modularity
in geometric morphometric data will be presented. Lectures will be combined
with hands-on demonstrations of the analyses. Participants are encouraged to
bring their own morphometric data for analysis and discussion in the workshop.
This course will be held in the Sabadell facilities of the Institut Català de
Paleontologia (Barcelona, Spain) and is co-organized by Transmitting Science
and the Institut Catalá de Paleontologia M. Crusafont. Place are limited and
will be covered by strict registration order.
Please feel free to distribute this information between your colleagues if you
consider it appropriate.
With best regards
