Phylogenetic comparative methods for studying diversification and
phenotypic evolution (PCME01)
https://www.prstatistics.com/course/phylogenetic-comparative-methods-for-studying-diversification-and-phenotypic-evolution-pcme01/
This course will be delivered by Dr. Antigoni Kaliontzopoulou from the
5th - 8th November 2018 in Glasgow City Centre.
Course Overview:
Phylogenetic comparative methods are commonly used nowadays to
investigate how species diversification occurs and to test hypotheses
about the mechanisms that drive phenotypic evolution, e.g. to model
speciation and extinction, to understand why some groups are more
diverse than others, to test whether phenotypic traits have evolved
under neutral, directional or diversifying selection, to investigate how
evolutionary rates are modified across the evolutionary history of a
group etc. In all these cases, a phylogenetic hypothesis for the group
of interest is combined to phenotypic and ecological data at the species
level to understand the tempo and mode of evolutionary change.
The objective of this course is to provide an overview of these methods
and of the tools available for their implementation in the R statistical
language. During theoretical sessions, we will review the main concepts
and statistical tools necessary for testing hypotheses about species
diversification and phenotypic evolution. These will then be implemented
during practicals through worked examples to provide the participants
with hands-on experience on data management and the implementation of
these methods to real biological data.
