Welcome to the Karen A. Ober Lab:
My primary interest is exploring molecular and morphological diversity in insects. Evolutionary history, molecular evolution, and developmental biology are critical in investigating the patterns and processes of morphological change and adaptations in groups of insects. Fundamental to my investigation of diversity and morphological and ecological change is seeking the evolutionary history of organisms. Beetles, in particular, offer a spectacular example of evolutionary success and diversification. They are a particularly good group of insects to examine the patterns and processes of morphological, ecological, and molecular change.

They are a particularly good group of insects to examine the patterns and processes of morphological, ecological, and molecular change.
My research interests fall into two major areas: understanding evolution and relationships of major groups of beetles at deeper levels and understanding processes producing patterns of morphological diversity in insects. Insects are incredibly diverse, and they offer good models to study evolution and morphological adaptation.
