Dear colleagues,
Transmitting Science course "Geometric Morphometrics and Phylogeny" has opened registration. Dates: September 9th-13th, 2019, Barcelona. Instructor: Dr. Chris Klingenberg (University of Manchester, United Kingdom) Place: Capellades, Barcelona (Spain). Registration and more info: https://www.transmittingscience.org/courses/geometric-morphometrics/geometric-morphometrics-phylogeny/ PROGRAM: 1. Phylogeny, trees and phylogenetic reasoning. 2. Brief review of geometric morphometrics (Procrustes fit, PCA, etc.). 3. Mapping traits onto phylogenies: squared-change parsimony. 4. Practice: making/editing Nexus files, mapping morphometric data onto the tree (Mesquite, MorphoJ). 5. Phylogenetic signal, morphometric traits and estimating phylogeny. 6. Comparative methods: independent contrasts. 7. Application in morphometrics: evolutionary allometry and size correction. 8. Practice: comparative methods (MorphoJ). 9. Application of comparative methods: morphological integration. 10. Multi-level analyses of integration: inferring evolutionary mechanisms. 11. Application of comparative methods: partial least squares (ecomorphology, etc.). 12. Practice: comparative methods (cont.). 13. Morphometrics, phylogenies and qualitative characters. 14. Disparity and diversification. 15. Presentations of group work. Please feel free to distribute this information between your colleagues if you consider it appropriate.
