Dear evoldir members, A few spots are still available for the Transmitting Science course: "Mapping Trait Evolution" (8th edition). The course provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art methods in mapping phenotypic trait evolution and will provide participants with a springboard to using these methods to answering their own research questions. Max capacity: 16 participants Format: Live online sessions Dates: May 26th, 28th, and 30th & June 2nd and 4th Schedule: 14:00-18:00 (Madrid time) Instructors: Dr. Jeroen B. Smaers (Stony Brook University, USA) Learn more and register here: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/evolution/mapping-trait-evolution/ Course overview: We focus on analyses that use a phylogenetic tree and observed trait information from tip taxa (extant and/or extinct) to describe how traits have changed along the branches of a phylogeny. The course covers methods that estimate and test patterns related to changes in mean, covariation, and rate. Applications for continuous and categorical, and univariate and multivariate research designs are discussed.
