Dear colleagues,
There are 4 slots available for the 5th edition of the course Geometric
Morphometrics for Beginners.
Dates and schedule: Online live sessions on January 27th, 28th, 29th,
30th, and 31st, 2025.
From 15:00 to 20:00 (Madrid time zone).
Instructor: Jesús Marugán (UAM, Spain)
Programme:
* Introduction: What is geometric morphometrics?
* Brief history, geometric morphometrics vs "traditional"
morphometrics.
* Applications: What problems can be addressed with geometric
morphometrics?
* Available software, uses and differences.
* Fundamentals of abstraction from shape geometry to landmarks and
semilandmarks configurations.
* Data acquisition, digitalisation and methodological considerations.
* Size and shape in geometric morphometrics.
* Generalized Procrustes Analysis, shape space and its conceptual and
practical importance.
* Alternative superimposing methods:
* Procrustes: Bookstein Shape Coordinates.
* Resistant Fit.
* Others: EDMA.
* Practical case of application of the methodologies.
* Semilandmarks digitization practices.
* Viewing the results:
* The 'Thin plate spline': Transformation and the metaphor of the
deformation grid.
* Deformation of surfaces in 2D and 3D.
* Variation and covariation: Analysis tools with multivariate
statistics; Factor analysis (PCA) and multivariate regression.
* Association (covariation) between size and shape (allometry).
Software: Participants will use TPS [1] series and MorphoJ [2] for the
practicals (both free and user friendly). The instructor will
demonstrate some of the theory using other softwares too.
