Dear evoldir members,

Transmitting Science is offering the course "Introduction to 
Macroevolutionary Analyses Using Phylogenies" (15th edition).

This course will introduce participants to the use, modification, and 
representation of phylogenetic trees. Also, we will focus on the use of 
phylogenetic information to reconstruct ancestral characters and 
biogeographic histories, using different phylogenetic comparative 
methods. We will tackle trait evolution modeling and the assessment of 
phylogenetic signals. Finally, we will learn about the shape of 
phylogenetic trees, their evolutionary causes, and how to estimate the 
rates of diversification throughout the history of groups. Participants 
are encouraged to bring their data sets to use in the practical classes.

Format: Live online sessions
Dates: January 26th, 28th, and 30th & February 2nd and 4th, 2026
Schedule: 10:00-14:00 (Madrid time)

Instructor: Dr. Juan L. Cantalapiedra (Museo Nacional de Ciencias 
Naturales, Spain)
