Transmitting Science course Introduction to Geometric Morphometrics, May 27-31, Barcelona, Spain

[Soledad De Esteban Trvigno]

Dear colleagues,

The 11^th edition of Transmitting Science course "INTRODUCTION TO
GEOME TRIC MORPHOMETRICS- 10th edition" has opened registration.

INSTRU CTORS: Prof. Chris Klingenberg (University of Manchester, UK)
and Dr. Jes&# 250;s Marugán (UAM, Spain).

Dates: May 27th-31st, 2019, Barcelon a (Spain)

More information and registration: http://bit.ly/trans mittingscience-geometric-morphometrics or writing to
courses@transmittingsc ience.org

This course is entitled to teach the main concepts of shape
analysis based on landmark coordinates and its multivariate proc edures, and how they can be put into practice across any biological
discipl ine in which the phenotype (form) and its variation are the
principal sourc es of information.

Program:
1. Introduction: Shape, size and biological morphology.
2. Morphometric data: Equipment, landmarks, out lines and surfaces.
3. Visualizing shapes and shape changes.
4. L ooking at variation: PCA.
5. Distinguishing groups: CVA and discrimina nt analysis.
6. Symmetry and asymmetry.
7. Morphometrics in a mes sy world: outliers and measurement error.
8. Regression and allometry. 9. Covariation between things: PLS.
10. Morphological integration .
11. Modularity.
12. Phylogeny and comparative methods.
13. Pu tting things together: Combining analyses to solve biological
questions.
14. Presentation of group work by participants.

Software that will be used during the course: TPS, ImageJ (FIJI) and
MorphoJ

Pleas e feel free to distribute this information between your
colleagues if you c onsider it appropriate.
