In today’s episode, Dr. Joshua Miller shows us how genetics can play a large role in conservation techniques for many different species of animals. From Big Horned Sheep to Arctic Grayling, Dr. Miller’s research expands on the idea of nature versus nurture, as he explains how environmental factors could potentially have a large impact on certain genes. We’ll also discuss how conservation isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, and how his research is working to combat that.
