Montana Natural Heritage Program. Helena, MT. 11 pp. plus tables INTRODUCTION Passage of the Federal Endangered Species Act of 197 3 and subsequent recognition of the value of conserving biotic diversity (Wilson 1988) have resulted in many government agencies becoming active in species conservation. Surveys to determine the location and size of populations of rare species are being conducted on public lands throughout the west. These surveys are necessary in any species conservation program; however, knowing the location and size of populations at any one point in time is only the first step in a long-term protection strategy. (Sutter 1986) . Understanding the population dynamics of long-lived perennials is especially difficult because noticeable changes usually occur slowly, and important growth-limiting population- level events, such as bouts of recruitment or catastrophic mortality may occur only at infrequent intervals (Braughman and Murphy 1990) . Thus, long-term monitoring of growth, fecundity, recruitment and mortality is essential for understanding the condition and trends of plant populations, particularly long- lived, slow-growing species. Shoshonea (Shoshonea pulvinata Evert & Constance) is a long- lived, mat-forming perennial in the Carrot Family (Apiaceae) . This recently described species (Evert and Constance 1982) comprises a monotypic genus endemic to the Beartooth and Pryor mountain ranges of Carbon County, Montana and the Absaroka and Owl Creek ranges of Park and Fremont counties, Wyoming (Lesica and Shelly 1988) . In Montana, shoshonea is generally restricted to shallow, calcareous soils of exposed limestone outcrops, rims, ridgetops and talus slopes at 6,800-7,800 ft (Lesica and Shelly 1988) . In Montana, there are no apparent, immediate threats to populations of shoshonea. However, the species is threatened in the Beartooth Mountains by potential mining or oil and gas development and, in the Pryor Mountains, by grazing of wild horses. The species is ranked as G2G3/S1 (globally threatened, state endangered) by the Montana Natural Heritage Program and is considered sensitive in Montana (Lesica and Shelly 1991) . Shoshonea is listed as sensitive by Region One of the U.S. Forest Service (Lesica and Shelly 1991) and is a candidate for listing as a threatened or endangered species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USDI-FWS 1990) . The purpose of this study is to learn details of the life history of Shoshonea pulvinata by following mapped individuals for many consecutive years. In addition, results of the monitoring can be used to detect overall population trends at these sites. Permanent monitoring transects were established at three sites in 1991 (Lesica and Achuff 1991) . Here I report the results of the first two years of the study. METHODS Locations and methods for reading the transects are provided in Lesica and Achuff (1991). The Mystery Ridge and Mystery Road sites are in the Pryor Mountains, while the Grove Creek site is on the east slopes of the Beartooth Mountains. In order to examine differences in population structure, I placed Shoshonea oulvinata plants into one of three size classes: (1) juvenile, area of <15 cm^ (2) small mature, area of 16-80 cm^ (3) large mature, area of >8 0 cm^ The smallest plants observed flowering were 16 cm^. These "immature" plants comprise the juvenile class. Plants larger than 16 cm^ are potentially capable of reproduction and are considered mature. I arbitrarily divided these plants into two size classes, small and large. Reproductive rate is the number of plants producing inflorescences divided by the number of plants in the mature size classes. Mortality rate is the number of plants that died between year t and year t+1 divided by the total number of plants present in year t. Recruitment rate is the number of new plants appearing between year t and year t+1 divided by the total number of plants present in year t. Some plants that were recorded as more than one individual in 1991 were recorded as one in 1992 and vice versa. Consequently, changes had to be made in the 1991 summary statistics, so what is presented this year for 1991 will not match what was presented in Lesica and Achuff (1991). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Shoshonea pulvinata size class distribution at the three sites in 1991 and 1992 are presented in Figure 1. At each site, size class distribution was similar both years; however, it was very different at the three sites. Grove Creek in the Beartooth Mountains had a large proportion of immature plants and few large reproductive plants. Mature plants, especially small mature plants, dominated the populations at the Mystery Ridge and Mystery Road sites in the Pryor Mountains. The Grove Creek transect population increased between 1991 and 1992, while the two sample populations in the Pryor Mountains declined (Table 1) . The percent of mature plants producing flowers varied between 37% and 71% and was indistinguishable among the three sites (Table 1) . The Mystery Ridge site, which had the highest proportion of large mature plants (Figure 1) , had Table 1. Summary statistics for Shoshonea pulvinata at three monitoring sites in 1991-92. Reproductive rate is the number of plants producing inflorescences/number of mature plants. Mortality rate is number of dead plants in year t/number of plants in year t-1. Recruitment rate is the number of new plants in year t/number of plants in year t-1.

Mortality in 1991-92 was noticeably high at the Mystery Ridge site, while recruitment for the same period was significantly higher at the Grove Creek site (Table 1) . Demography of Shoshonea pulvinata was similar at the two Pryor Mountain sites. The only striking difference was the high mortality rate at the Mystery Ridge site where six mature plants died between 1991 and 1992. I do not know the reason for these deaths. The Grove Creek population appears to have very different demography than populations in the Pryor Mountains. Recruitment rate was high, and numbers of individuals declined in the larger size classes. In the Pryors, recruitment rate was low, and there were more mature plants than juveniles. One possibility is that bouts of recruitment are more sporadic in the Pryors. It may also be that mature plants survive longer in the Pryor Mountain populations; however, the high mature mortality at the Mystery Ridge site argues against this explanation. Continued monitoring should help elucidate these questions. LITERATURE CITED Braughman, J. F. and D. D. Murphy. 1990.
