Obtained from the Analytical Paleobiology Workshop website.
The workshop focused on various modules related to analytical paleobiology, primarily using R and, to a lesser extent, Python. The topics covered during APW 2024 include biodiversity dynamics, morphological disparity, time-series analysis, Bayesian phylogenetics, tree dating, PyRate, paleogeography, and niche modeling. The modules clarified the complex analyses presented in recent data-driven paleontological studies. Since paleontological data is still lacking in many developing countries, including the Philippines, reports on fossil assemblages, morphology, taxonomy, and stratigraphy remain highly relevant.
