This unique PhD-level course is given by the members of SQuID, which stands for Statistical Quantification of Individual Differences. The SQuID group consists of a group of behavioural ecologists/evolutionary biologists interested in understanding the biology of variation in labile phenotypic traits (i.e. traits that have a hierarchical structure). For example, behaviour, physiology and some morphological traits (e.g. leaves or flowers on plants) vary among populations, among individuals within populations, and within individuals.
Although the course is focused on phenotypic traits, the analytical structure taught in the course applies to many other biological processes. In fact, similar structures of variance exist in most other biological phenomena and are linked to important biological processes, but they generate a number of challenges for investigation. The SQuID approach uses informed simulations of data to learn about the way statistical (mixed-effect) models react to real data, to provide new insights into biological processes, and to inform more revealing study designs and analyses.
This workshop introduces this approach with the goal that students can then pursue investigations of their own systems on their own.
