新香港六合彩资料 featured in National Geographic Museum 鈥淪harks鈥 exhibit
Ultrasound technology used by James Sulikowski, Ph.D., professor of Marine Science at the 新香港六合彩资料, to study the reproductive behavior of sharks is on display at the National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C.
The ultrasound machine, originally intended for humans, was designed to stand up to the harsh conditions at sea. The technology provided the first opportunity for scientists to study shark reproduction on live sharks. The method became famous when Sulikowski and Neil Hammerschlag, Ph.D., of the University of Miami used it on pregnant tiger sharks in an episode of 鈥淪hark Week鈥 in 2016.
鈥淭hanks to ultrasonography, Hammerschlag and Sulikowski have helped advance our knowledge about shark reproductive biology,鈥 the description beside the display reads. 鈥淚n addition, their research results suggest that Tiger Beach may function as a kind of shark refuge, as well as a critical habitat for tiger shark reproduction.鈥
The exhibit runs through October 15, 2017.
