Population Genetics and Phylogeography Workshop

17 - 20 May 2010

This workshop targeted 2nd & 3rd year PhD students and postdocs new to the area.  It was designed for attendees to learn cutting edge software packages with international workshop demonstrators:

• Juan Jose Robledo-Arnuncio: Ramon y Cajal Research Fellow, Spanish Forest Research Centre of INIA, Spain

• Professor Scott Edwards: Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Curator of Ornithology, Harvard University
  Listen to a podcast

Demonstrated software packages included:
Cervus, Poldisp, NM+ (previous version SNM), BEST, Phybase, Arlequin, Structure, & Fstat and MLTR.

Introductory sessions in Population genetics, Gene flow, Mating systems, & Phylogeography were led by:

• Professor Andrew Lowe, University of Adelaide (Fine scale genetic structure, Mating systems analysis, Gene flow analysis)

• Dr Mike Gardner, University of Adelaide & Flinders University (Genetic Diversity, F Statistics, Isolation by distance, Spatial Autocorrelation, Population Clustering)

• Associate Professor Steven Cooper, University of Adelaide (Phylogenetic approaches, Phylogenetic analysis of populations, Coalescent analysis)
