In addition, team members contribute in a regular basis for the undergrad courses "Diversity of Life" and "Seminários Integrados em Biologia I", and to the graduation course "Analytical Tools in Comparative Biology".

Field trips: Field trips are part of tree of the courses more directly related to the Lab. The "Geology" course includes a two-day trip to the areas of Itu, Rio Claro, and Araraquara, São Paulo state, where classic exposures of the Permo-Carboniferous and Juro-Cretaceous sequences of the Paraná Basin are visited. As a part of the "Palaeontology" course, a tree-day field trip is conducted to the areas of Jaguariaíva and Ponta Grossa, Paraná state, where Devonian and Carbonifeours rocks are studied, and dug for fossils. In this trip, the state parks of Vila Velha and Guartelá are also visited.
