Welcome to the official TH-cam channel of the Department of Organismal Biology and Ecology (OBE) at Colorado College! The OBE Department studies the structure and function of organisms in an ecological and evolutionary context. OBE encompasses cross-disciplinary approaches such as physiological ecology, evolutionary ecology, systematics, and biogeography, which all provide complementary insights into the processes of evolutionary diversification and adaptation to life on earth. Our research foci include botany, animal and plant ecology, comparative physiology, conservation biology, and molecular ecology. We strive to perform cutting-edge research and include students in these opportunities. The goal of this channel is to promote learning from anywhere in the world by sharing original drone imagery and GoPro360 footage highlighting Colorado's ecosystems as well as instructional videos of different field research techniques and lab demonstrations. We hope you enjoy it!
