Dates: 16 July 2021 (1 day)
Organiser: Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences

About: This advanced workshop aims at introducing "Concepts and methods of the French school of architectural analysis" and "Methods in ecology and evolution with large set of traits". We will invite Artémis Anest,
the first author of the newly published paper "Evolving the structure: climatic and developmental constraints on the evolution of plant architecture. A case study in Euphorbia", to explain and show the whole analysis process of the paper (repeat the analysis), anyone who want to join the workshop should read the paper in detail before the workshop.
Workshop outline (tentative):
1- Concepts and methods of the French school of architectural analysis
9:00 - 10:30 concepts (offline + online); 11:00 - 12:00 practice in filed (offline only)
We will explore the method of describing plant architecture, its benefit in gathering functional trait information, and the applications of the method in ecology, evolution, agriculture, and management. Finally, we will practice the method in the field describing architectural traits of several plants. If you want to join this workshop in XTBG, please bring: 1) plain white papers, 2) pencil & eraser.
2- Methods in ecology and evolution with large set of traits 13:30 - 17:30 pm (offline + online)
In this part, we will follow the method of "Evolving the structure: climatic and developmental constraints on the evolution of plant architecture. A case study in Euphorbia", in identifying traits which may reflect evolutionary radiations triggered by environmental selection. We will follow a step-by step script with a set of traits as an example, to estimate:
1) phylogenetic signal on discrete and continuous traits,
2) identify traits which likely triggered a radiation,
3) test these traits of interest by using diversification analyses,
4) plot them on a phylogeny.

Requirements for applicants:
This workshop is an advanced workshop and will be conducted using R, so please ensure an up-to-date version is installed on your computer prior to the workshop day. We expect participants are 1). Experience with conducting analyses in R; 2). Familiar with linear models and generalised linear models.
Participants also should read the paper, "Evolving the structure: climatic and developmental constraints on the evolution of plant architecture. A case study in Euphorbia", before the workshop. The list of R packages required for the analyses will be provided before the workshop day.
Instructors: (1) Artémis Anest, PhD candidate of Community Ecology and Conservation Group of XTBG. You can already watch the video she recorded about her paper "Evolving the structure: climatic and developmental constraints on the evolution of plant architecture. A case study in Euphorbia"
Students number: 20 offline, 20 online
