Pollination is beautiful

When you are in the depths of despair over life history evolution or models of species interactions, it always helps to take a minute to step back and understand why we have a course called BIO113.  This, my friends, will give you a good idea.  A beautiful and sparse visual summary of all that we study in ecology. Some of the most stunning footage of pollination that I have ever seen.

It is images like these, and the understanding of all the complexities and science behind them, that I hope you carry forward with you when think back about what you learned in BIO113. 

PS. If you want to see the cinematographer give an introduction, it is here: http://www.ted.com/talks/louie_schwartzberg_the_hidden_beauty_of_pollination.html
