Dear all, This spring we have a workshop in Geometric Morphometrics at Lund University (GENECO) which we would like to announce.
-- We are happy to announce a PhD course entitled: "Geometric Morphometrics Using R” that is about to take place at Lund University, 9-13 May 2016. Info @: http://www.biology.lu.se/education/phd-studies/phd-courses/phenomics-geometric-morphometrics-using-r Description: The analysis of organismal shape is central to many questions in ecology and evolution. This course aims at providing an introduction to the theory and methods of geometric morphometrics for analyzing variation in shape and its covariation with other variables. It will provide an overview of the theory underlying the quantification of shape using landmark methods, and a practical guide to data acquisition, standardization for obtaining shape variables, statistical treatment of shape variation and visualization of the results in the R language for statistical programming. Content: The course will include both theoretical and practical sessions. During the theoretical session we will provide a comprehensive introduction to the methods of landmark-based geometric morphometrics, which aims at providing the participants with a solid theoretical background for understanding the procedures used in shape data analysis. Practical sessions will include worked examples of data acquisition, standardization and statistical analysis, giving the participants the opportunity to gain practical experience in the treatment of shape data using the R package geomorphic and other statistical routines in R. We will provide an example dataset, but we encourage the participants to bring their own data for treatment. The course is organised by: Dean Adams Mike Collyer Antigone Kaliontzopoulou GENECO Course host: Johan Hollander, Lund University Application Please apply by email to: johan.hollan...@biol.lu.se<mailto:johan.hollan...@biol.lu.se> Deadline: 4 March.
