Life History and Demographic Studies Sample Clauses

Life History and Demographic Studies. Published studies on Xxxxxx’x beardtongue are limited to two pollinator studies (Xxxxxxxx et al. 1997; Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx 2007). There has been ongoing, unpublished work on the species by Red Butte Garden at the University of Utah (Dodge and Xxxxx 2009, 2010). Unpublished studies include a long-term population viability study (XxXxxxxxx 2013) and seed bank and germination trials (XxXxxxxxx 2013; Xxxxxx and Xxxxx 2011). Dispersal mechanisms for Xxxxxx’x beardtongue seeds are poorly understood. It is likely that wind, gravity, and water play some role in the dispersal of seeds. Western harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex occidentalis) are known to harvest the seeds of many native sagebrush steppe species (Xxxx 2003) and other Uinta Basin plants, and may play a role in the dispersal of other native plant species (Xxxx 2003; XxxXxxxx et al. 2000). However, the role of animal-facilitated seed dispersal in the current or future distribution or viability of Xxxxxx’x beardtongue is not known. Researchers from Red Butte Garden have been collecting demographic data on both Xxxxxx’x beardtongue and White River beardtongue as part of a BLM-funded study since 2004 (XxXxxxxxx 2013; Xxxxxx and Xxxxx 2011). These demographic studies have focused on four populations of Xxxxxx’x beardtongue and three populations of White River beardtongue, and data collected include annual demographic monitoring, soil seed bank sampling, and in situ seed germination trials. Two populations for each Penstemon species have been monitored since 2004, with three additional populations (two for Xxxxxx’x beardtongue and one for White River beardtongue) added in 2010. This report is the only demographic study that has been conducted for either species. The study is expected to continue, with additional population areas added to encompass the ranges of both species, as part of the conservation actions outlined here. A population viability analysis (PVA) for both species is in development based on these demographic studies (XxXxxxxxx 2013). PVA analyses have been performed based on available data as of 2013, with additional analyses to be performed as more data become available. XxXxxxxxx (2013) constructed matrix models to determine the likelihood of monitored populations to persist into the future (XxXxxxxxx 2013). The results indicated that Xxxxxx’x beardtongue population growth rates for the two study populations remained static (neither growing nor shrinking in numbers of plants) over the course o...
