Dear colleagues,

I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to let you know about an upcoming 
live online course organized by Transmitting  Science that might 
interest you:

Model-Based Statistical Inference in Evolutionary Biogeography

Instructor: Nick Matze (University of Auckland, New Zeland)

Course webpage: 
https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/evolution/model-based-statistical-inference-evolutionary-biogeography-2/

Dates: November 10, 12, 14, 17 & 19, 2025.

Time: 08:00-12:00 (Madrid time).

Format: Live lectures + hands-on exercises (recordings available, but 
attendance is required for certification).

What you'll learn:

  	* How to use phylogenetic and spatial data to infer ancestral range 
evolution.
  	* Probabilistic, likelihood-based models (e.g. BioGeoBEARS), 
stochastic mapping, trait-dependent dispersal.
  	* Handling geographic & environmental distance in models, integrating 
GIS/paleogeography data, and more.
  	* A help session to apply methods to your own data.

Best regards

Sole
