"Introduction to morphometrics: from measurements to biological shape analyses "
Organized by: Julien Claude, ISEM, University of Montpellier II, France
Venue: Mahasarakham University, Thailand
Dates: July 20th-22nd 2011

Rationale:
Morphometrics is the analysis of shape and size variation. In biology, ecology, or in paleontology, it is often necessary to understand phenotypic variation in a quantitative way for relating phenotypes to evolutionary forces or to ecological factors. Analysing variation of biological objects is often necessary for a wide array of studies concerning taxonomy, evolutionary systematics, eco-physiology, developmental biology, ecology,..., etc. Since the beginning of quantitative biology, an array of statistical methods dedicated to the study of shape variation have been developped by statisticians and biologists leading to the new discipline of quantitative shape analysis.
This workshop is therefore intended for scientists, graduate and phD students who are in needs to analyse shape variation among biological objects. During that workshop, scientists and students will directly practice morphometric analyses and work on original data in the R software and environment. The program start with an introduction to traditional analyses with simple concepts (e.g. size, and shape, allometries) and simple techniques (analysis of shape ratios) and ends with the most up to date techniques such as Procrustes analyses and elliptic fourier analysies. Associated methods will cover explorative and descriptive statistics (bivariate plots, box plot, PCA) to exploratory methods (linear models, linear discriminant analysis, MANOVA), but also specific methods of geometric morphometrics (e.g., TPS).
