The Graduate Program on Comparative Biology was established in 1997 within the “Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto (FFCLRP-USP). The main objective of this program is to produce specialists (professors, technicians, researchers) with a graduate-level understanding of evolutionary history of organisms and respective mechanisms of adaptation to the environment.
The Comparative Biology graduate program is interdisciplinary, connecting research groups from distinct areas. At the core of the Comparative Biology program is the understanding of the evolutionary story of organisms, their phylogenetic interrelationships, and the adaptative mechanisms present in a given environment. Complementary to that, the program also foster a research line embracing History, Philosophy and Education in Ecology and Evolution. Its interdisciplinary nature stems from the integration of research groups dedicated to complementary areas, which are organized in three major fields: 1) Evolution of Biodiversity; 2) Ecology and Conservation of Biodiversity; and 3) History, Philosophy and Education in Evolution and Ecology.
