Dear evoldir members, Transmitting Science is offering the live online course "Evolutionary Macroecology in R: Exploring Biodiversity Patterns at Large Scales" (2nd edition). Learn more and register here: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/ecology/macroecology-in-r-exploring-biodiversity-patterns-at-large-scales/ This course combines historical components of geographic patterns, phylogeny, and ecology to provide a comprehensive overview of evolutionary macroecology. The course has a strong practical component in R. Students will learn to manipulate large geographic databases in R, grid-map biodiversity in various forms, conduct analyses of biogeographic regionalization incorporating evolutionary history, and estimate phylogenetic turnover and historical dispersal in geographic space. The practical sessions also cover common metrics in community phylogenetics and diversification, focusing on large geographic scales.
