Dear Morphometricians
The Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics, Academy of Sciences of
the Czech Republic, and Department of Anthropology, Masaryk University,
Brno, are very pleased to announce a *Geometric Morphometric Workshop*
which is going to be held in Telč, Czech Republic, in July 11-14, 2011
Organizers:
Miloš Macholán and Ondřej Mikula, Inst. Anim. Physiol. Genet., Brno
Petra Urbanová, Department of Anthropology, Masaryk University, Brno
Instructors:
Chris Klingenberg and Emma Sherratt, University of Manchester, UK
The workshop is intended for scholars moderately experienced in
geometric morphometrics, i.e. we suppose that the participants will have
basic knowledge of GM principles. Although a general introduction will
be provided, such terms as landmarks, Procrustes superimposition,
thin-plate splines, and principal components analysis may not be
explained in detail.
Subjects to be covered:
1. Size & shape, Procrustes fit, shape space & tangent approximation
2. Visualizing shape changes, TPS
3. PCA
4. Distinguishing groups: CVA & discriminant functions
5. Outliers, measurement error, etc.
6. Symmetry & asymmetry
7. Allometry & size correction
8. Trajectories & trends
9. Partial least squares
10. Integration & modularity
11. Comparing covariance matrices (incl. ordination by PCoA)
12. Phylogeny & shape
13. Comparative methods: evolutionary patterns
14. Putting it all together: combining methods for multi-level studies
