Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce our upcoming online course, Foundations of Geometric Morphometrics (9th edition), taking place from 3 to 5 February 2026 (1–7 PM Berlin time). The course is taught by Dr. Carmelo Fruciano (University of Catania, Italy), a leading expert in the field.

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course22/

This beginner-friendly course introduces essential concepts and practical skills for acquiring and analysing 2D and 3D geometric morphometric data, a powerful approach widely used in evolutionary biology, anthropology, and archaeology to quantify and visualize biological shape variation with statistical rigour and intuitive interpretation.

Through a mix of lectures and hands-on sessions, participants will learn about data acquisition techniques, quality control, and core analyses like Generalized Procrustes Analysis and Principal Component Analysis, using user-friendly software alongside R tools. The course is ideal for researchers new to geometric morphometrics or those seeking a solid foundation before advancing to more complex methods covered in the companion course on Multidimensional Phenotypic Evolution (online, 2-6 March): https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/mpe/

Best regards,
Carlo
