Advanced course Introduction to Geometric Morphometrics, June 20-24, Barcelona, Spain

[Soledad De Esteban Trivigno]

Dear colleague,

Registration is open for the cou rse "INTRODUCTION TO GEOMETRIC
MORPHOMETRICS- 7th edition".:-) 60;
INSTRUCTORS: Prof. Chris Klingenberg (University of Manchester , UK)
and Dr. Jesús Marugán (UAM, Spain).
Dates: June 20-24, 2016.
More information and registratio n: http://www.transmittingscience.org/courses/gm/introduction-to -gm/
This course is entitled to teach the main concep ts of shape analysis
based on landmark coordinates and its multi variate procedures, and
how they can be put
into practice across any biological discipline in which the
phenotype (form) and its variation are the principal sources of
information.

Program:
< li>Introduction: Shape, size and biological morphology.
1. Morphometri c data: Equipment, landmarks, outlines and surfaces.
2. Visualiz ing shapes and shape changes.
3. Looking at variation: PCA.
4. Di stinguishing groups: CVA and discriminant analysis.
5. Symmetry and as ymmetry.
6. Morphometrics in a messy world: outliers and measurement e rror.
7. Regression and allometry.
8. Covariation between things: PLS.
9. Morphological integration.
10. Modularity.
11. Phylog eny and comparative methods.
12. Putting things together: Combining ana lyses to solve biological
questions.
13. Presentation of group work by participants.

Please feel free to distribute this information b etween your
colleagues if you consider it appropriate.
