Dear colleagues:
 
This is the last call for the course "QUANTITATIVE CLADISTICS AND USE OF TNT", 
June 3-7, 2013. Instructors: Dr. Goloboff and Dr. Szumik (Conicet, Argentine). 
 
The workshop will cover the basics of parsimony analysis and character 
optimization, tree-searches, diagnosing and summarizing results efficiently, 
and measuring group supports. It will have extensive hands-on exercises which 
will help participants get familiar with the main aspects of phylogenetic 
analysis using TNT. The workshop will make extensive use of TNT. There will 
also be a demonstration and some practice with GB->TNT, a program to create TNT 
matrices from GenBank data.
