Hi John, I'll field the easy question: if you check the Stony Brook Morphometrics site <http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/>, you'll find that they have a space to post notices of workshops, symposiums, etc. I've pasted the latest posting here:
*Mini-Symposium on Geometric Morphometrics at the Seventh International Chrysophyte Symposium<http://www.conncoll.edu/academics/departments/botany/ICS.html> * * The week of June 23, 2008 at ** Connecticut College - New London, Connecticut, U.S.A.* The three to four day symposium is expected to bring together experts from around the world representing a broad spectrum of disciplines. Although the overriding theme of the symposium will focus on "chrysophytes" in a broad sense, we anticipate significant contributions representing allied heterokont groups and an infusion of ideas from other fields. In addition to regular paper sessions, we are planning four mini-symposia: paleolimnology/paleobiology, taste and odor problems in drinking water, heterokont phylogeny and *use of geometric morphometric concepts in the study of algae*. The symposium will include several keynote speakers who work in areas peripheral areas to chrysophyte biology, allowing for a cross fertilization of ideas. Our goal is to provide a forum to advance the study of chrysophytes. There will be a Proceedings volume published by Cramer under the Nova Hedwigia Beiheft series. Good luck with your work and your other question! ;) Best, Lindsay E-J On 5/16/07, morphmet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I've got two questions maybe someone would be able to help me with. > > 1) I've been trying out Geometric Morphometrics on bivalve shells and > have had some great success.
