What explanation does science give about how the Mouflon found on an island in the Indian Ocean were able to maintain their genetic diversity under extraordinary circumstances?

Dr. David Coltman, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Alberta, says that although the models of genetic drift predict the genetic diversity of the Mouflon should have been lost over time. The genetic diversity of the Mouflon has been maintained because "natural selection is more important to the evolutionary process than is commonly believed," according to Dr. Coltman. The extreme conditions of the island are thought to have prevented genetic drift because of the premium advantage the more genetically diverse mouflon on the island hold over their less genetically diverse cousins.
