Mount Monashee is the type locality of a formerly recognized subspecies of American pika. The Monashees American pika was no longer recognized as a distinct subspecies in 2010 after studies in genetic markers, call dialects, and skull measurements done by David Hafner and Andrew Smith showed there was mingling of pika populations in British Columbia.
