Dear colleagues, We are excited to announce our upcoming online course, Foundations of Geometric Morphometrics (9th edition), taking place from 3 to 5 February 2026 (1-7 PM Berlin time). The course is taught by Dr. Carmelo Fruciano (University of Catania, Italy), a leading expert in the field. Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course22/ ) This beginner-friendly course introduces essential concepts and practical skills for acquiring and analysing 2D and 3D geometric morphometric data, a powerful approach widely used in evolutionary biology, anthropology, and archaeology to quantify and visualize biological shape variation with statistical rigour and intuitive interpretation. Through a mix of lectures and hands-on sessions, participants will learn about data acquisition techniques, quality control, and core analyses like Generalized Procrustes Analysis and Principal Component Analysis, using user-friendly software alongside R tools. The course is ideal for researchers new to geometric morphometrics or those seeking a solid foundation before advancing to more complex methods covered in the companion course on Multidimensional Phenotypic Evolution (online, 2-6 March): ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/mpe/ ) For the full list of our courses and workshops, please visit: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops ) Best regards, Carlo Carlo Pecoraro, Ph.D Physalia-courses DIRECTOR info@physalia-courses.org mobile: +49 17645230846 ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/physalia-courses-a64418127/ ) "info@physalia-courses.org" (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
