Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Aims: The aim of this course is to introduce students to 2D and 3D landmark-based shape analysis. At the end of the course the student is expected to be able to (1) understand the basics of geometric morphometrics in a palaeontological context, (2) acquire landmark data using tpsDig software (https://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/), and (3) conduct geometric morphometric analyses using MorphoJ software (https://morphometrics.uk/MorphoJ_page.html).
Contents: The course will start with a general introduction to modern morphometrics, followed by practical applications. A non-binding list of topics to be presented is shown below:
(1) Introduction to modern morphometrics
(2) Basics of landmark-based shape analysis
(3) Basic decompositions of shape variation
(4) Quantifying and controlling for biological factors
(5) Relationships between morphological structures
Method of the course: The course will be composed of 2 hour-long hybrid lectures per week, with a theoretical presentation of the topic, directly followed by practical application.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Course assessment will be based on the oral presentation of results of a study project emulating a presentation at a professional meeting.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Students upon completing the course will be able to identify and collect landmark coordinate data appropriate to their particular biological questions and use available morphometrics software for its analysis.
