His study region, the Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park, BC,\u00a0 is the same place where the reputed ungulate ecologist, Dr. Valerius Geist, did his seminal ethology work on this species. Much has changed in the world since Val&#8217;s research in the late 1960&#8217;s, but sheep hunting remains a common\u00a0activity\u00a0in the area. Julien&#8217;s work asks whether sheep respond to the advent of hunting\u00a0season through adaptive movement and habitat selection, and whether behaviour responses differ based on demographic-specific factors. The results of his research will help support the sustainable use and management of Stone&#8217;s sheep. Julien is partnered with the Province of British Columbia, Spatsizi River Outfitters, the Tahltan Central Government, the Wild Sheep Foundation, and the Wild Sheep Society of BC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:gullo@ualberta.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gullo@ualberta.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boyce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/10\/Julien-Gullo-Field-Work-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1746 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boyce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/10\/Julien-Gullo-Field-Work-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"144\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boyce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/10\/Julien-Gullo-Field-Work-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1747 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/grad.biology.ualberta.ca\/boyce\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/10\/Julien-Gullo-Field-Work-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"276\" height=\"151\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A young ram Stone\u2019s sheep being sampled and prepped for collaring<\/p>\n<p>Field work picture, Clean-up activities following a successful net-gun capture<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 photos by Julien Gullo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Julien&#8217;s research is focused on how movement and habitat selection of Stone&#8217;s sheep (Ovis dalli stonei) changes during hunting season.
