This study is carried out to know the insect diversity at Gonggeomji wetland in Sangju city where the first designated as a rice paddy wetland protection area from Ministry of Environment of Korea. As the results, 330 species of 234 genera belonging to 90 families in 10 orders were collected and a total of 1,327 individuals were surveyed in this study. Among them, highest collection ratio was 54. 3% (162 species) of Coleoptera, next order was 22% (66 species) of Hemiptera. In seasonal variation, 28 species were surveyed in the first quarter, 81 in the second, 78 in the third, and 87 in the fourth. Ancylopus pictus asiaticus in Coleoptera, Nysius (Nysius) plebejus in Hemiptera were the most dominant species. As a diversity analyses, species diversity index (H'), dominance index(DI), species richness index and evenness index (EI) were provided in here.

Lactic acid bacteria were cultivated from the gut of insects and analyzed. The gut samples were obtained from Anoplocnemis dallasi, Apis mellifera, Diestrammena coreana, Gonolabis marginalis, and Mycalesis gotama. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the culture-dependent lactic acid bacteria isolated from the insect gut samples belonged to the genera Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, and Weissella. The genera Enterococcus and Lactococcus were dominant, constituting 57% and 25% of the isolated strains, respectively. The distribution of lactic acid bacteria was found to differ according to the insect species. However, because culture-dependent methods identify only a portion of lactic acid bacterial communities, the use of culture-independent methods in future studies will be required to complement the methods used in the present study.

Myanmar, which has a total area of 678,500 square kilometers (262,000 sq mi), is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia, and the 40th-largest in the world. It lies between latitudes 9° and 29°N, and longitudes 92° and 102°E. Much of the country lies between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator. It lies in the monsoon region of Asia, with its coastal regions receiving over 5,000 mm (196.6 in) of rain annually. Annual rainfall in the delta region is approximately 2,500 mm (98.4 in), while average annual rainfall in the Dry Zone, which is located in central Myanmar, is less than 1,000 mm (39.4 in). The average annual temperature is about 27℃(about 80℉). This expedition was conducted two times in two years (8.7~8.17, 2011; 2.2~2.9, 2012). As protected forest from government, these areas were almost natural conservation field. Pitfall trap, sweeping method, light trap and searching etc. were used to collect insect. As the result, totally about 30 families in Coleoptera was collected, among them Oodes species of Carabidae was highest number and species in Chrysomelidae, Cicindelodae, Scarabaeidae and Dynastidae etc., were collected. It was difficult to identification because of lack of references of this areas. Maybe lots of new or new recorded species will discover from Myanmar. Among Coleoptera species, with big sized beetles as the central figure, photos for species of dominant, rare, nominated species of new or new recorded were introduced, and also collecting sites and activities were presented.

캄보디아는 동양구에 위치한 국가로 북동쪽으로 라오스, 동쪽과 남동쪽으로 베 트남, 북쪽과 서쪽으로 태국과 접하고 있다. 육지면적(181,035k㎢)의 3/4은 중부 의 넓은 평야들과 남쪽으로 국토의 동부를 가로질러 흐르는 메콩강이 큰 비중을 차지한다. 기후는 건기와 우기로 나누어지는 전형적인 열대몬순기후이다. 캄보디 아는 독립(1945년) 때까지 간헐적인 생물상 조사가 이루어졌으나, 이후 내전이 발 발하여 약 45년 동안 생물다양성 연구가 거의 진행되지 못하였다. 현재 국제적인 NGO단체들이 보호구역을 중심으로 연구를 진행하고 있으나, 여전히 많은 지역의 생물다양성 조사가 미흡하다. 또한 곤충 다양성연구는 더더욱 미비하여, 신종 및 미기록종의 발견이 기대된다. 본 연구는 2010년 4월 30일 ~ 5월 6일까지 2010년 10월 5일 ~ 10월 10일까지 캄보디아 동부지역인 Pro. Mondulkiri Trapeang Thmear와 Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area와 캄보디아 서부지역인 Prov. Pursat, Rovieang and Osom에 서 Sweeping, Light trap 등 다양한 방법을 이용하여 곤충상을 조사한 결과, 나비 목은 총 92종을 채집하였으며, 동부에서는 76종이 채집되었고, 서부에서는 30종 이 채집되었다.

Cambodia covers an area of 181,035 sq km, among them, forests cover 53 percent, so there are abundant Insect diversities. Collecting expeditions of Insect were conducted several times from 2009 to 2010 (09. 7.2-7.11, 10.16-22, 12.25-12.30, 10. 4. 30-5.6) in Cambodia sponsored by Natioanl Biological Resources, Korea. Central Cadamon Protected Forest (N 11 41' 13" E 103 26' 31.3"), Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area (N 12° 08' 20.8", E 106 55' 2.7") and Prov. Pursat, Roveang (N 12° 19' 06.5", E 103° 3' 03.8") were main area surveyed by pitfall trap, light trap and sweeping, searching etc. Numerous individuals were collected and more than 150 species belonging to 40 families were founded, among them, there were lots of new and new recorded species. Among Cambodian insects, species of Lepidoptera, Coleoptra and Hymenoptera were preferentially introduced in here. The photos for species of dominant, rare, new and new recorded were provided, and also collecting sites and activities were presented.

Cambodia covers an area of 181,035 sq km among them, forests cover 53 percent. As a tropical monsoon climate, average annual rainfall is about 1,400 mm(about 55 in) on the central plain and increases to as much as 3,800 mm (150 in) in the mountains and along the coast. The average annual temperature is about 27°C (about 80°F). There are many wildlife diversity in Cambodia, but regulated or unregulated logging and mining have diminished the country's wildlife rapidly. This expedition was conducted three times in 2009 (7.2-7.11, 10.16-22, 12.25-12.30). Central Cadamon Protected Forest (N 11° 41' 13" E 103° 26' 31.3") and Seima Biodiversity Conservation Area (N 12° 08' 20.8", E 106° 55' 2.7") were main area surveyed by pitfall trap, light trap and sweeping etc. As the result, totally 611 individuals of 11 families in Coleoptera was collected, among them Gonocephalumspecies of Tenebrionidae was highest number and species in Melonthidae, Chrysomelidae and Dynastidae etc., were collected, specially kind of Hydrophilidae species from wetland was surved in the expedition.

To find out the affection of the sampling techniques to the result of a faunistic study, we surveyed the insect fauna of the Chungbuk National University (four different sites) for a year, from spring to fall. For each site, four different collecting methods: light trap, net sweeping, pitfall trap, and window trap, were applied and the collecting was done every other week for a total of 16 times. A total of 14 orders and 672 species were collected. 501 species were collected by the light trap, which covers about 75% of the total number of species, turn out to be the most effective, while other methods could only cover 18% or less. On average, only about 30% of the species collected at a given time of collecting were re-collected at the next collecting, which means about 70% of the species collected from the first collecting remains not collected in the next collecting if you collect insects every other week. The result suggests that, in addition to applying diverse collecting methods, frequent sampling, or narrow sample window, is another very important factor for a good representation of species diversity in an insect faunistic study.

To evaluate environment of farm lands using indicator insects and evaluation indices, the insect abundance of which is one of the major criteria for the evaluation of agricultural environment of farm land in urban areas and industrial complex, three sites (Ansan, Daesan, Suncheon) were designated and monitored from 2004 to 2006. The flora of agricultural land was more than urban areas and industrial complex of that in three sites. Soil, water and air pollution of urban areas and industrial complex were more serious than those of agricultural land in three sites. Overall population of insects were high from June to August in the surveyed three sites. Collected insects in agricultural land were 12 order, 106 family and 166 species, those in urban areas were 11 order, 102 family and 148 species, and in industrial complex were 11 order, 100 family and 152 species. Species and population belonging to Coleoptera was dominant in the surveyed sites. The insect diversity indices of farm land were 2.36 in agricultural land, 1.92 urban areas and industrial complex. And agricultural environment of agricultural land was good, urban areas was common and industrial complex was poor. Based on the major criteria of evaluation items, the criteria were selected as diversity index over 2.1, insect indicator Pheropsophus javanus in agricultural land, diversity index 1.5-2.0, insect indicator Nephotettix cincticeps in urban areas, diversity index below 1.5, insect indicator Pagria signata in industrial complex.

This study was carried out to develop of environmental risk assessments and the biosafety guide for Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean at LMO (Living Modified Organism) isolation field. In LMO quarantine area of National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, insect species diversities and population densities on vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean and non-GM soybeans (Willams 82 and Seoritae) were investigated. A total of 17,717 individuals of 77 species from 8 orders were collected in LMO isolation field. In three type soybeans field, total of 5,250 individuals in Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean, 5,510 individuals in Willams 82, and 6,957 individuals in Seoritae were collected, respectively. There was no difference between the population densities of insect pests, natural enemies and other insects on Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean and Willams 82, while natural enemies density on Seoritae was higher than on Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean, but insect pests density on Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean was higher. These results provided the insects diversity for risk assessment survey of Vitamin E enhanced transgenic soybean and suggested that the guideline could be useful to detect LMO crops.

본 연구는 대규모 GMO 격리포장에서 고추 유래 가뭄저항성CaMsrB2유전자가 도입된 가뭄저항성벼(Agb0103)의 안정성 평가에 대한 가이드라인 및 프로토콜을 개발하고자 수행하였다. 경북대학교 농업생명과학대학 GMO 실습격리포장에서 총 사용면적 4,700 m²에서 Agb0103와 모품종인 일미벼에 대해 거미류를 포함한 곤충류 다양성을 조사하였다. 조사기간 동안 채집된 개체들은 기능별로 해충군, 천적군, 거미군으로 크게 구분하여 계수하였으며, 조사된 개체군의 해충군, 천적군, 거미류 등의 밀도는 기능군 별로 Agb0103와 일미벼간에 유의성을 보이지 않았다. 해충의 발생양상을 비교 분석한 결과, 전반적으로 일미벼에서 발생량이 다소 많은 경향으로 나타났으나, 대부분의 시기별 발생량 평균 간의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타나서 Agb0103와 일미벼과의 해충 발생양상에는 유의성을 찾기가 어렵다고 판단된다. 또한 천적류 발생양상은 해충 발생양상과는 달리 Agb0103에서 발생량이 다소 많은 경향으로 나타났으나, 시기별 평균 간 차이는 없는 것으로 분석되어 천적 발생양상에도 특이한 유의성을 없다고 판단된다. 따라서 가뭄저항성 CaMsrB2유전자가 도입된 Agb0103에서의 해충 및 천적의 개체군 밀도 및 발생양상은 모본인 일미벼에서와 차이가 없는 것으로 조사되었다.
