Dear colleagues,
Registration is open for the Transmitting Science course “Model-Based
Statistical Inference in Evolutionary Biogeography”.
Dates and Schedule: January 4th-8th. Monday to Friday (GMT+1, Spanish
time zone): 08:00 to 12:00 am (online live lessons). The rest of the
time will be taught through assignments, to be done between the live
sessions.
Instructor: Nick Matzke (University of Auckland, New Zealand)
Preliminary program
- Intro to R and phylogenies
- How to read and use phylogenies
- A short history of historical biogeography methods and assumptions
- Likelihood-based statistical model choice
- Phylogenetic biogeography
- New probabilistic models for historical biogeography in BioGeoBEARS.
- Using BioGeoBEARS and interpreting results.
- Biogeographical stochastic mapping.
- Including geographical and environmental distance in models.
- Integrating biogeography with traits — trait-dependent dispersal
- Running analyses over multiPhylo objects (posterior distribution)
and interpreting results.
- State-dependent Speciation/Extinction models (SSE) basics in R
- State-dependent Speciation/Extinction models (SSE) for large
biogeography problems in Julia
- Integrating GIS & paleogeography data (e.g. Gplates)
- Help session for student projects.
- Wrap-up.
