Subject: Course Studying Evolution with Geometric Morphometrics, March
2013,Argentina
To: [email protected]
Dear Colleagues:
Registration is open for the course "Studying Evolution with Geometric
Morphometrics"
Instructor: Dr. Chris Klingenberg (University of Manchester, UK).
Date: March 10-14, 2014, 50 hours.
Place: Premises of the CONICET in La Plata , Buenos Aires (Argentina).
Language: English.
Organized by: Transmitting Science and IGEVET (CONICET).
PhD students of any Argentinian University are entitled to a 20 % discount on
the course fee.
Morphometric approaches are used increasingly to study a wide range of
questions concerning the evolution of organismal shape and its developmental
and genetic basis. The standard techniques of the “morphometric synthesis” of
the mid-1990s have been supplemented by a set of new methods that address
specific biological questions in specific contexts such as morphological
integration, modularity, phylogenetic comparative analyses, and studies of
symmetry and asymmetry. This course will introduce these recent approaches to
an audience of researchers who are familiar with the fundamentals of geometric
morphometrics. Lectures will present the theoretical basis of the methods, and
software demonstrations and practical exercises will provide participants with
the opportunity to try out the methods themselves. Practical work, as far as
possible with the participants’ own data or with data
provided as examples, and discussions of the participants’ research questions
are intended to help them to apply the new methods to their own projects.
