We sit down with Dr. Zijian Sim (known as Sim) and Bill Jex. Sim talks about his study from the University of Alberta - "Management implications of highly resolved hierarchical population genetic structure in thinhorn sheep," Sim is an interesting character and although his study is steeped in science he is able to share his findings in a clear and concise manner that all can understand. Sim's findings outline how Stone's Sheep are genetically unique to BC and that sheep found in Yukon have a different genetic make-up. He digs into why they believe this is (ice age type stuff) and how it has modern day implications. Bill Jex weighs on in management implications and how he and other biologists have been influenced by Sim's findings.
