In Korea, two sawyer beetle species belonging to genus Monochamus are vectors that transmits the pine wood nematode. In this study, we surveyed the seasonal change of spatiotemporal distribution of Monochamus alternatus and Monochamus saltuarius. A total of 360 multi-funnel traps were placed in three different regions, such as Gapyeong, Yeongdeok, and Jeju. In M. saltuarius, we collected 1,496 individuals and 709 individuals in Gapyeong and Yeongdeok, respectively, and in M. alternatus 348 individuals and 113 individuals were collected in Jeju and Yeongdeok, respectively. We analysed their patterns in spatiotemporal distribution using by global spatial autocorrelation. In M. alternatus, spatially clustering on Jeju was observed in July and August, and M. saltuarius in a site of Gapyeong was clustered. These spatiotemporal distributions of two Monochamus species may be probably related to their behavior, such as maturation feeding and dead tree searching.

Recently, many habitat corridors have been constructed in Korea, but the effect of corridor types, i.e. overpasses and underpasses, on arthropods was poorly examined. Therefore, we compared the effect of habitat corridor types in terms of abundance, species richness, and composition of carabid beetles. As a result, 3,737 ground beetles belonging to 60 species were collected by pitfall trapping across the northwestern forest–habitat corridor–southeastern forest transects in 2015. Abundance and species richness of total carabid beetles in underpasses were significantly lower than overpasses. And species composition of underpasses corridors was significantly different compared to other habitats, such as overpasses and forests. Although more samples are needed to understand the effect of corridor types, the current underpasses may be unfriendly structures to movement of ground dwelling arthropods as well as carabid beetles.
