Macrosystem EDDIE Modules

May 1, 2020 / Lauren

This course is taught as a set of modules. Each module utilizes long-term, high-frequency, and sensor-based datasets from sources like the Global Lakes Ecological Observatory Network, the United States Geological Survey, and the Long Term Ecological Research Network, and the National Ecological Observatory Network. Modules can be adapted for any skill level to enhance students’ understanding of macrosystems ecology, computational skills, and ability to conduct inquiry-based studies.

Live Modules include:

Practical Introduction to Bioinformatics and Genomics – Bio720 Course at McMaster University

April 21, 2020 / Lauren

This repository contains many of the course materials (for free!) from the Bio720 course taught by Brian Golding and Ian Dworkin at McMaster University in 2018. While this course is structured for graduate students, anyone who has a working knowledge of basic molecular biology and genetics should be able to use this course. The goal of this course is to allow the user to develop fundamental computational skills that will prepare them to further develop skills appropriate for bioinformatics and genomics.

Comparative Methods in R

April 18, 2020 / Lauren

This is a set of lectures, exercises, and challenges using R. Topics covered include: an introduction to comparative methods and R, Brownian motion, PGLS, ancestral state reconstruction, trait evolution, diversification with BAMM and RPanda, state dependent diversification, Mk models and character correlations, and placing fossils/recently extinct taxa on a tree.

Arbor Workflow Tutorials

April 18, 2020 / Lauren

Arbor is an R software package that can be used to build workflows for phylogenetic comparative analysis. This tutorial set showcases how to use Arbor and how to run analyses using Arbor. Common analyses for which you can use Arbor include: phylogenetic signal, ancestral state reconstruction, independent contrasts, comparative model fitting, PGLS, fitting birth-death models, community phylogenetics, BiSSE/MuSSE/QuaSSE/GeoSSE, and cospeciation.
