Dear all,
there are only a few seats available for the Physalia upcoming online course: *Analysing Biodiversity Through Time and Space Using R* Dates: *18–22 August* Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/biodiversity-in-r/ This hands-on course offers a comprehensive introduction to reproducible workflows for biodiversity data analysis in R. Participants will learn how to acquire, clean, and analyse palaeontological and neontological datasets to explore biodiversity across spatial and temporal scales. LEARNING OUTCOMES - Understanding of occurrence data for fossil and modern biodiversity: data structure, key databases and limitations. - Working knowledge of geographic information systems (GIS), chronostratigraphy, and palaeogeographic models in R - An overview of structuring of taxonomic diversity across space and through time, diversity/diversification rate metrics and the diversification process. - Understanding of sampling variation, the practical problems these pose for biodiversity analysis, and tools which can help alleviate these issues. - Appreciation for empirical patterns of diversity across geographic space and through geological time, and how to test hypotheses for these phenomena. *Format:* Each day includes live lectures and discussions from *15:00–18:00 (Berlin time)*, followed by self-paced practical exercises (~4 hrs/day). A pre-course R refresher will also be available.
