Dear colleagues,

Transmitting Science is offering a new edition of the live online course 
"Model-Based Statistical Inference in Evolutionary Biogeography".

Course webpage: 
https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/evolution/model-based-statistical-inference-evolutionary-biogeography-2/

This course offers a structured, hands-on introduction to methods for 
inferring historical biogeography using phylogenetic and spatial data. 
Participants will learn how to estimate ancestral geographic ranges, 
compare probabilistic models, and interpret biogeographic patterns using 
real data.

The course moves from introductory training in R, phylogenies, and 
BioGeoBEARS, through likelihood-based model testing and visualisation, 
to advanced topics such as trait-dependent dispersal, state-dependent 
diversification models, and large-scale analyses using PhyBEARS.jl in 
Julia. It also incorporates the integration of GIS and paleogeographic 
data (e.g., via GPlates), equipping participants with a comprehensive 
toolkit for studying lineages across space and time.

For any questions, please write to courses@transmittingscience.com

Best regards,

Haris
