Online Course – 1st Edition
January 31st-February 11th, 2022
Course OverviewPhylogenetic analyses are central for understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes shaping present-day biodiversity patterns.
In this course participants will learn phylogenetic analyses with the RPANDA R package. They will also have a quick introduction to Julia and to the jPANDA Julia package.
The RPANDA package contains tools for macroevolutionary analyses on phylogenetic trees, in particular for the analysis of diversification and trait evolution from comparative data.
The instructors will introduce the theory behind these analyses, run practicals with illustrative examples, and guide the interpretation of the output of these analyses.
This workshop is primarily intended for (but is not exclusive to) graduate students and postdocs. Participants are encouraged to bring their own phylogenetic datasets (with potentially matching trait, biogeographic and paleoenvironmental datasets).
Graduate or postgraduate degree in Life or Earth Sciences. Basic knowledge of phylogenetics and R at user level is need it to follow the course.
Participants must have a personal computer (Windows, Mac, Linux). The use of a webcam and headphones is strongly recommended, and a good internet connection.
January 31st-February 11th, 2022

Transmitting Science started in 2012 to manage specialized courses and workshops we were already organizing within our own partnerships. Up to date, we have already run more than 120 advanced courses in different topics related to Life Sciences.
All the courses are self-financed with participant’s fees and we strive to keep the fees to the minimum necessary for running them.
Our courses cover a wide range of research methods and are aimed at postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and established academics from all over the world.
