Past events
Past events hosted by the Centre for Biodiversity Analysis.
Brian Tilston Smith, visiting from the American Museum of Natural History, will present an overview of his research program on avian evolution through a series of vignettes on topics that include comparative landscape genomics, convergent evolution, and phylogenetic discordance.
An introduction to the open-source database AusTraits - the largest collation of trait data for Australian plants.
University of Canberra's 2023 Krebs Lecture will be given by Professor Hugh Possingham
The CBA and the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics are hosting a symposium on new advances in 3rd-generation genomics in genome assembly, haplotypes, pangenomes, and structural variation.
A technical training workshop that will provide an overview of models from matrix-analytic-methods (MAMs) and how they could be used in practical applications.
What is evolutionary science? Who is an evolutionary scientist? What role does evolutionary science have to play in the future of Australian science? How can we shape that future?
Emma Sherratt and Mario Dos Reiswill present a workshop and seminar each on using genomic and morphological data to study the tree of life.
Discussion of recent advances using fossil information integrated in the form of morphometric data to allow simultaneous inference of speciation times, morphological rates of evolution and ancestral character reconstructions.
This talk will discuss what can be learnt about evolution and development from comparing the shape of structures such as bones, exoskeletons, and leaves.
