This two-week intensive block course provides an intensive, hands-on introduction to phylogenetic analytical methods as applied to evolutionary and ecological approaches, including paleontology. Topics covered include parsimony and Bayesian analytical methods, the combined use of morphological and molecular data, and molecular divergence estimates using fossils. Students should bring a laptop that they can use to download and run open-source software such as Mesquite, Beast, and TNT. A basic background knowledge of evolution and phylogenetic theory is recommended.
Course dates: Two weeks in September each year (contact instructor for dates).
