SSSDay

The SSSDay took place on the 3-4th of Novembre 2022, hosted by the Conservatoire et Jardin Botaniques de Genève
salle de cours, Bot II (building number 3 on the map)
Thursday 03.11: Workshop on multivariate evolutionary models
Julien Cavel (Uni- Lyon I) demonstrated the R packages RPANDA (Phylogenetic ANalyses of DiversificAtion) and mvMORPH (morphometric data).
R packages to install: RPANDA, mvMORPH, Morpho, diagram.
Ideally, the version gitHub for mvMORPH is preferable. It can be installed from the package « devtools”, with a compiler already installed (e.g., gfortran ; Rtools for Windows (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/) or tools and gfortran for MacOS (http://mac.rproject.org))
