CorrectAnswer
Are you sure that "In Region X, the average horn mass and body length of adult bighorn sheep has dropped over the past several decades." is the main conclusion? I think it is rather: "These regulations have undoubtedly given smaller sheep an advantage in surviving to a reproductive age." as it is suggested here. It is not presented as supporting information but rather as the author's conclusion which for me is indicated throgh the word "undoubtedly".
