Programa del
curso:
1. Phylogeny,
trees and phylogenetic reasoning.
2. Brief review
of geometric morphometrics (Procrustes fit, PCA, etc.).
3. Mapping traits
onto phylogenies: squared-change parsimony.
4. Practice:
making/editing Nexus files, mapping morphometric data onto the tree (Mesquite,
MorphoJ).
5. Phylogenetic
signal, morphometric traits and estimating phylogeny.
6. Comparative
methods: independent contrasts.
7. Application in
morphometrics: evolutionary allometry and size correction.
8. Practice:
comparative methods (MorphoJ).
9. Application of
comparative methods: morphological integration.
10. Multi-level
analyses of integration: inferring evolutionary mechanisms.
11. Application
of comparative methods: partial least squares (ecomorphology, etc.).
12. Practice:
comparative methods (cont.).
13.
Morphometrics, phylogenies and qualitative characters.
14. Disparity and
diversification.
15. Presentations
of group work.
