두꺼비딱정벌레(Coreocarabus fraterculus)를 포함한 딱정벌레아족은 뒷날개가 퇴화되어 비행능력을 상실하였으며, 따라서 이동 및 분산은 보행에 의존한다. 때문에 이들의 분화에는 지리적 조건이 큰 영향을 미치며, 이에 따른 종 또는 아종분화가 빈번하다. 본 종의 경우, 한국에는 8아종이 알려져 있으며, 이 중 남한에는 중두꺼비딱정벌레 (Coreocarabus fraterculus affinis)와 남두꺼비딱정벌레(Coreocarabus fraterculus assimilis), 영식두꺼비딱정벌레 (Coreocarabus fraterculus jirisanensis), 덕유두꺼비딱정벌레(Coreocarabus fraterculus togyusanus) 4아종이 서식한다. 그러나 이들의 분포에 대해서는 모식산지 또는 원기재 당시 알려진 지역을 제외하고는 극히 제한적이다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 두꺼비딱정벌레(Coreocarabus fraterculus)의 각 아종별 분포기록을 재검토 하였으며, 기존에 알려진 분포지 외 16곳에서 두꺼비딱정벌레(Coreocarabus fraterculus)를 확인하였다.

We investigated population densities of mosquitoes in Gyeongbuk region from March to November, 2017 and pathogens were detected from the mosquitoes. Mosquito populations were investigated at 3 sites in downtown and 1 site in cowshed in Andong, 3 sites in Yeongdeok downtown and 3 sites near migratory birds habitat in Sangju by collecting trap. Total collected female mosquitoes were 7 genus, 13 species, 9,892 individuals and relatively dominant ratios are Aedes vexans (40%), Ae. albopictus (20%), Culex pipiens (16%). Flavivirus were monitored in 9,125 collected mosquitoes by real-time PCR and no target flavivirus causing infectious diseases were detected in Gyeongbuk area in 2017.

Gonggeom-ji is designated wetland protected area by the Ministry of Environment of Korea in 2011 because of it’s high biodiversity and historic value. It contains a reservoir, paddy and forest site which has diverse niches for insects. Three transect lines of 50m were designated. Data were collected in May, October, November in 2017 represented as seasons for spring, summer and autumn respectively. Quantitative methods were conducted along each transect line by sweeping and pitfall trap. Based on this study total of 1079 individuals of insect fauna were collected, representing 170 species in 60 families and 8 orders. The highest diversity, richness and evenness index were observed in the forest site in May(4.77, 8.6 and 0.91 respectively) and the highest dominance index was observed in the forest site in November(0.64). The highest similarity index was observed in the reservoir site in May and August(0.519).
