Asunto: Online live course: Evolutionary macroecology in R: exploring biodiversity patterns at large scales
Soledad De Esteban Trivigno
Dear colleagues,
There are two spots available for the course “Evolutionary macroecology in R: exploring biodiversity patterns at large scales”.
Dates & schedule: June 8th-12th, 2026 from 13:00-17:30 (Madrid time zone).
Course webpage: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/ecology/macroecology-in-r-exploring-biodiversity-patterns-at-large-scales/
The aim of this course is to introduce participants to macroecological analyses using R to explore large-scale biodiversity patterns and ecological processes.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Generate geographic maps of biodiversity.
- Construct biogeographic regions while accounting for the evolutionary relationship of species.
- Integrate tools of macroevolutionary dynamics, such as estimating ancestral areas and ancestral traits, with community phylogenetic metrics.
Instruction will combine lectures, hands-on computational exercises, and guided examples. Language of instruction: English.
