Multidimensional Phenotypic Evolution – Online Course (10-14 March 2025)

Dear all,
We are excited to announce our upcoming online course, "Multidimensional Phenotypic Evolution," with Dr. Carmelo Fruciano (University of Catania, Italy), taking place from 10-14 March 2025. 
Course website: [ https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/mpe/ ]( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/mpe/ )
 
This five-day course is tailored for researchers aiming to explore the evolution of multidimensional traits?both morphometric (e.g., geometric morphometrics) and non-morphometric (e.g., gene expression).
Through a combination of lectures and hands-on sessions, participants will learn:
Core techniques such as PCA, phylogenetic comparative methods, and regression models.
Specialized approaches like co-variation analysis, modularity, and macroevolutionary model fitting.
Practical applications using real datasets, including user-friendly software and R-based methods.
This course is ideal for beginners and intermediate users with a basic understanding of statistics and experimental design.
If you are new to this field, consider enrolling in our introductory 3-day course on Geometric Morphometrics, which offers foundational training on data acquisition and analysis: [ https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course22/ ]( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course22/ )
