092822 NSF Grant Supports Island University Researcher in Dolphin Reproductive Anatomy Study
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – Artificial insemination, or assisted reproduction, is not an uncommon conservation method for species whose natural population and biodiversity are dwindling, however, scientists have not yet developed a method that ensures consistent results.
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi’s Dr. Dara Orbach, Assistant Professor of Marine Biology, is charting a path to refine this process by understanding the reproductive morphology of female dolphins and how it contributes to productive fertilization. Reproductive morphology refers to how reproductive organs are composed and interact with other organs.
