Dear all,
there are only a few seats available for the Physalia upcoming online course:
Analysing Biodiversity Through Time and Space Using R
Dates: 18–22 August
Course website: [
https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/biodiversity-in-r/ ](
https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/biodiversity-in-r/ )
This hands-on course offers a comprehensive introduction to reproducible
workflows for biodiversity data analysis in R. Participants will learn how to
acquire, clean, and analyse palaeontological and neontological datasets to
explore biodiversity across spatial and temporal scales.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Understanding of occurrence data for fossil and modern biodiversity: data
structure, key databases and limitations.
- Working knowledge of geographic information systems (GIS),
chronostratigraphy, and palaeogeographic models in R
- An overview of structuring of taxonomic diversity across space and through
time, diversity/diversification rate metrics and the diversification process.
- Understanding of sampling variation, the practical problems these pose for
biodiversity analysis, and tools which can help alleviate these issues.
- Appreciation for empirical patterns of diversity across geographic space and
through geological time, and how to test hypotheses for these phenomena.
Format:
Each day includes live lectures and discussions from 15:00–18:00 (Berlin time),
followed by self-paced practical exercises (~4 hrs/day). A pre-course R
refresher will also be available.
Best regards,
Carlo
