Dear list members,
Transmitting Science is running a new course that could be of interest for list members, althougth it is not specific on Geometric Morphometrics: “Mapping Trait Evolution”, June 5th-9th, 2017; instructor: Dr. Jeroen Smaers (Stony Brook University, USA). PROGRAM: Monday. (R packages: ape, Geiger). - Phylogenetic data - What is the basic structure of phylogenetic data? - How to visualize and manipulate phylogenetic data? - What are models of evolution? - What are the assumptions of the different models of evolution - How are models of evolution utilized? Tuesday. (R packages: ape, nlme, caper, evomap). -Phylogenetic regression - Assumptions, properties, and applications of the phylogenetic regression. - Phylogenetic ancova. - Testing for grade shifts using the phylogenetic regression. Wednesday. (R packages: phytools, motmot, geiger, ape, evomap, BayesTraits). - Ancestral estimation - Using models of evolution to estimate values of ancestral nodes. - Analysis of rates of evolution. - Estimation of rates of evolution. - Testing hypothesis about rates of evolution. Thursday. (R packages: bayou, phylolm, surface, OUwie, mvMORPH). - Inferring the structure of a macroevolutionary landscape. - Using Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models to map macroevolutionary patterns. - Testing the structure of a macroevolutionary landscape. - Applications and assumptions of OU models. - Using OU models to test macroevolutionary hypotheses. Friday. (R packages: geomorph). - Modularity and integration. - What is ‘phylogenetic’ modularity and integration? - Applications and assumptions. - Case study.
