First, this course will introduce participants to the use,
modification and representation of phylogenetic trees. Then, we will
focus on the use of phylogenetic information to reconstruct ancestral
characters and biogeographic histories, learning how to apply
Phylogenetic Comparative Methods. This course will also tackle trait
evolution modeling and the assessment of phylogenetic signal. Finally,
we will learn about the shape of phylogenetic trees and its evolutionary
causes and how to estimate the rates of diversification throughout the
evolutionary history of groups. Participants are encouraged to bring
their data sets to use in the practical class.
Important note: Please bear in mind that this course is not about reconstructing (building) phylogenetic trees.
Software: Mesquite, FigTree, BayesTraits (using BayesTraits Wrapper in R), RASP and R (ape, TreeSim, TreePar, Geiger, OUwie, BioGeoBEARS).
Place: Facilities of the CRIP at Els Hostalets de Pierola, Barcelona (Spain).
Organized by: Transmitting Science, the Centre de Restauració i
Interpretació Paleontologic and the Institut Catalá de Paleontologia
Miquel Crusafont.

El sitio web Filogenetica.org: llegará a los diez años?
Lo que empezó en el 2006 como una curiosidad por aprender a desplegar un sitio web y la inquietud de proporcionar un servicio de información sobre recursos para filogenética, que es lo que ha llegado a ser este sitio web?
Las circunstancias han cambiado. Ahora es muy fácil encontrar la información en internet. Por eso, amables lectores, les pregunto: vale la pena seguir con este servicio? Llegará este sitio web a su décimo año?
