큰 학자가 떠남에 따라 영문학에 대한 그의 영향과 문학도들에 대한 생각을 하게 한다. 그의 업적 — 특히 『예이츠의 시전집』에 달린 주는 예이츠연구에 있어 필수적이고 권위 있는 목소리가 되었다. 그의 제자들과 동료교수들에 대한 그의 영향은 아주 중요한 멘토의 역할을 했는데, 미래의 학자들의 요청을 거절할 때에도 그러했다.

Insect pests on cruciferous crops and their natural enemies were surveyed during 2009~2011 in Daegwallyeong highland region which has been famous for summer Kimchi cabbage production in Korea since 1970s. Totally 15 insect pests have been reported in cabbage field in Daegwallyeong. Diamondback moth (DBM, Plutella xylostella) imported cabbage worm (Artogeia rapae L.), cabbage armyworm (CAW, Mamestra brassicae L.), cabbage looper (CL, Trichoplusia ni), cabbage sawfly (Athalia rosae ruficornis Jakovlev), and turnip aphid (Liphapis pseudobrassicae (Davis)) were the dominant pest species among the 15 species. For monitoring as well as controlling insects with weak flight, yellow sticky cards (10×15㎝) were used in cabbage fields. The sticky cards were hanged on plastic stick and placed at a 2-5 m distance within cabbage field (1,000㎡). Sex pheromone traps were employed for monitoring and controlling insects with strong flight. The survey result showed that there was significantly reduced pest occurrences in treated, compared to untreated condition. Similarly, The results from the sex pheromone traps were coincident with those of sticky trap. DBM, CAW and CL were found less in the treated than untreated fields; by 67.5%, 70.6% and 44.0%, respectively. Although the control efficacy of such traps was less than that of chemical spray, the use of sticky card trap combined with sex pheromone trap could be useful management tools for controlling insect pests in cabbage fields.

The genus Sphathius is belong to the subfamily Doryctinae in the family Braconidae and are described with >300 species in the world (Shenefelt and Marsh, 1976). This genus is distinguished from other winged Doryctinae by 1) forewings with three submarginal cells; 2) first subdiscal cell of forewing closed; and 3) first metasomal segment petiolate, widening apically, lacking basal wing-like projections, and inserted on propodeum near coxal bases (Marsh, 1997). For the purpose of finding the biological agent for Asian longhorned beetle (ALB; Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky)) and Citrus longhorned beetle (CLB; A. chinensis (Förster)), we had installed the ALB- and CLB-infested sentinel logs to attract parasitoids at experimental field of the Korea National Arboretum during summer season in 2014. Several L1 and L2 CLB larvae were found attacked by braconid larvae that were reared to adult stage. Their larvae are identified to Spathius gwangneungensis sp. nov. belong to the Spathius exarator species group. This new species has special characteristics as following; Body reddish brown or dark reddish brown, body length 2.5~3.7mm and forewing length 2.2~3.0mm in female and body length 2.1~2.6mm and forewing length 1.5~2.0mm in male, hind femur distinctly transversely aciculate dorsally, forewing more or less infuscate with a longitudinal hyaline band medially, vein m-cu of hind wing interstitial, second tergite entirely sculptured without striation, and third to fifth tergites basally sculptured. Ovipositor sheath 0.6 times as long as metasoma.

A genus Omosita Erichson, 1843 which belongs to the sap beetle, Nitidulidae, is reviewed from Korea. Two species Omosita colon (Linnaeus, 1758) and O. japonica Reitter, 1874 are previously known from Korea, one species O. discoidea (Fabricius, 1775) is first recorded from Korea. A key to species, re-descriptions, biology, illustrations of both male and female of the genus Omosita are provided.

Two species of the genus Asiacentistes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) are reported in this study. The genus Asiacentistes is a small braconid group distributed in the East Palaearctic and Oriental regions, which has only two species in the world. One of them, Asiacentistes sinica Chen and Belokobylskij is new to Korea. Diagnosis and distribution in East Asia data are included.

Two species of the genus Cosmophorus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) are reported in this study. Members of Cosmophorus are known as solitary koinobiont endoparasitoids of adults of barkboring and woodboring Scolytidae. The genus Cosmophorus of the subfamily Euphorinae is small in the size and enigmatic in the ecology, which has been recorded in Holarctic, Oriental, Afrotropical and Australian regions. Only five species are known in East Palaearctic. Among them, Cosmophorus (Cosmophorus) klugii Ratzeburg is new to Korea. Diagnosis and distribution data are included.

Two species of the subgenus Exosyntretus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Euphorinae) in the genus Syntretus are reported from Korea in this study. The species of the genus Syntretus are small parasitic wasps, which attack adult Hymenoptera. Their hosts are adult parasitoid wasps and adult bees. The subgenus Exosyntretus are known as only five species in the world. Among them, Syntretus (Exosyntretus) nevelskoii Belokobylskij is new to Korea. The world checklist, diagnosis and distribution data are included.

To assess actual foliage damage due to potato leaf miner, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard), commercial potato pockets of Lalitpur, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Kavrepalanchwok, Sindhupalchwok and Makwanpur districts of Mid-Nepal were surveyed in 2009. Percent foliage damage analysis and ANOVA (with unbalanced frequency distribution) of multiple regressions of different factors were done to evaluate the level of damage and factors significantly influencing damage. Damage level was found more in lower altitudes (790-1568 meters above sea level) than in higher altitudes (1560-2610 meters above sea level). Similarly, lower leaves were more damaged than the upper ones. So, altitude and plant age were two factors influencing damage by test insect. Since the pest is becoming severe and can withstand chemical sprays, it is imperative to develop suitable IPM technique against this insect. Similarly, strict quarantine and awareness campaign against this insect pest are crucial to check its migration to virgin potato pockets.

Transcriptome analysis was conducted for the identification of genes associated with insecticide resistance in Frankliniella occidentalis. Resistant strain (FO_RDAHC) exhibited 39.2- ~ 533-fold resistance to acrinathrin, spinosad, emmamectin benzoate and thiamethoxam compared with a susceptible FO_RDA strain. Average 7.6 million reads (± 5,068,895 reads) were obtained from the pyrosequencing and were assembled into the draft CDS database. Gene annotation was conducted by BLAST (UniProt), Pfam, FUNCAT and COG analysis. In the deferentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis, 838 genes were up-regulated and 815 genes were down-regulated over 2-fold ratio in FO_RDAHC strain. Highly up-regulated genes included genes encoding several cuticle-related proteins, cytochrome P450s, esterases and transporter genes. An autotransporter protein gene exhibited the highest up-regulation (596 fold) whereas a GMC oxido-reductase revealed the highest down-regulation (12 fold). Further study would be necessary to validate the actual transcript levels of DEGs and to investigate their functional roles in insecticide resistance.
