Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce our upcoming online course “Phylogenetic Comparative Methods in R” taking place from 12th to 16th May.

This course provides a practical and theoretical foundation for researchers interested in trait evolution and lineage diversification using phylogenetic trees. Through a mix of lectures and hands-on R tutorials, participants will learn how to build and interpret ultrametric phylogenies, perform ancestral state reconstruction, and apply comparative models to their own data.

This course is designed for researchers with a basic background in molecular evolution and R, and is particularly suited to those working in systematics, ecology, evolutionary biology, or paleontology.
