Open registration for the course Introducción a los Sistemas de Información Geográfica y a la Cartografía Temática
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been established as the basic tool for the management and analysis of geographic data. Its application is of widespread use in almost all branches of experimental and social sciences that use geographic data. With GIS it is possible to integrate numerous data from the most diverse sources of information: topographic …

An intensive week learning phylogenies and population genetics with R
With the most widespread use of the R project, there is the need of learning to use new packages to make different kind of analysis in Biology. Too many times researchers just do not apply some analysis to their data because they do not know how to do it. But this time the instructors, Dr. …
The course Quantitative Genetics of Shape has ended
The course Quantitative Genetics of Shape has ended. Quantitative genetics is the study of the inheritance of continuously measured traits and their mechanisms. In this course we have reviewed the basic theoretical concepts of resemblance between relatives, heritability, estimates of selection, and geometric morphometrics. During the practical sessions participants have applied those theoretical concepts …
The 2nd edition of the course Integration and Modularity with Geometric Morphometrics has ended
The 2nd edition of the course Integration and Modularity with Geometric Morphometrics has ended. Morphological integration has shown to be an important factor in evolution. The fact that different structures evolve together just for having a shared function, the same developmental pathway or genetic basis, will constrain the shapes that could appear during evolution. …
