Dear all,

 

 

Are you interested in Phylogenetic Comparative Methods in R?

We are pleased to announce the 6th edition of this online Physalia course, which will run from June 15th to 19th.

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course44/

 

This course provides a hands-on introduction to how phylogenetic comparative methods can be used to study trait evolution and diversification using time-calibrated phylogenies.

 

Over five days, participants will combine lectures and practical sessions to learn how to:

  • Build and interpret ultrametric phylogenies (chronograms)
  • Reconstruct trait evolution across lineages
  • Explore models of diversification and evolutionary rates
  • Apply phylogenetic comparative methods in R

The course is aimed at advanced students, researchers, and professionals with a basic background in evolutionary biology and some familiarity with R. Participants are also welcome to bring their own datasets for discussion and practical guidance.

 

For the full list of our courses and workshops, please visit:  https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/

 

 

 

Best regards,
Carlo

Dear Dr. Pecoraro,

Thank you for sharing information about the upcoming Phylogenetic Comparative Methods in R course. The program looks extremely relevant to my current research interests in evolutionary biology and phylogenetic comparative approaches.

I am writing to kindly ask whether there might be any possibility of a reduced registration fee, student discount, or financial support option available for participants in this edition of the course. As a postgraduate student/researcher, my access to funding for short courses is currently limited, but I am very motivated to participate and fully engage in the training.

If any reduced-fee places or alternative support options are available, I would be very grateful to be considered. I would also be happy to provide any additional information about my academic background if needed.

Thank you very much for your time and for organizing this course.
Best regards,
