In 2020, severe defoliation was reported in Abies holophylla plantations located in Hwacheon-gun, Gangwon-do. This damage was attributed to an outbreak of an unidentified sawfly species from the genus Cephalcia (Hymenoptera: Pamphiliidae). The larvae of this sawfly caused significant defoliation of the leaves. This pest has been identified as Cephalcia koreana Park & Jung, sp. nov., described as a new species in 2023. To investigate the occurrence pattern and density of C. koreana, we set up emergence traps and analyzed samples from affected branches. Our results showed that the density peaks for adults, eggs, and larvae were in mid-May, late May, and early June of 2021, respectively. However, their density decreased sharply after a notably cold spring period in 2022. Here, I aim to discuss the outbreaks of insect pests and their population dynamics.

Hypochaeris radicata, native to Europe and Eurasia, is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family. In Korea, H. radicata was reported in 1992, mainly in Jeju Island, and gradually spreading to the inland. It overwinters in the form of a rosette and blooms yellow flowers from May to June. H. radicata propagates by seeds and rhizomes. The germination temperature of the seed is 15/20°C (day/night), and the rhizome forms a new plant at a depth of 2-3 cm in the soil. The roots of H. radicata secrete allelochemicals that inhibit the development of other plants. Some use it as a salad or forage substitute but to a limited extent. However, extensive research on ampicillin contained in H. radicata has been conducted, and its anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects have been recognized. There are only a few methods to manage H. radicata both culturally and physically. In orchards, soil treatments such as oxyfluorfen and diclobenil, or nonselective foliar treatments such as glufosinate-ammonium and glyphosate are used. Notably, there are no known biological control agents.

The CMM is the most widely used measuring device in the field. The three-dimensional measurement method is divided into a method of scanning the shape of a product and a touch method. In this study, the accuracy of the dimension and shape of each measurement point touch method was analyzed based on the measured value with the touch method CMM using the inner and outer diameter measurement specimens. Through the experimental results, it was possible to obtain the closest value to the true value at more than 30 measurement points.

산갈치(Regalecus russellii)는 대부분을 심해에서 보내며 가끔 연안에 나타나는데, 그 이유는 명확히 알려져 있지 않다. 우리나라 에서 산갈치는 주로 동해 연안을 따라 출현하는데, 특히 자망 등 어구에 의해 포획되는 경우와 연안에 좌초되어 출몰하는 경우가 높고 그 빈도는 극히 낮다. 또한 발견된다고, 하더라도 산갈치와 형태학적으로 유사한 투라치(Trachipterus ishikawae)로 판별되는 경우가 높다. 산갈 치의 표본을 구하여 분석하는 것은 제한적이기 때문에, 이러한 이유로 우리나라 연안에 출현하는 산갈치의 생태학적 특징에 대해 거의 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 2023년 3월 14일 강원도 앞바다에서 어획된 산갈치의 해부학적 특징을 관찰하였고, 해양 부이 자료를 이용 한 수온 분석을 진행하였다. 분석 결과 산갈치는 수컷이었고, 전장은 320 cm, 전중은 27.52 kg, 체고는 26.62 cm, 생식소 중량은 619.45 g, 간 중량은 218.71 g이었다. 산갈치의 위는 난바다 곤쟁이류로 가득 차 있었고, 산갈치가 어획되기 약 일주일 전부터 15~30 m 수심에서 강한 수온 변동이 있었으며, 저층 수온은 10℃ 미만이었다. 본 기술보고는 우리나라 동해 연안에서 나타날 수 있는 산갈치의 생태학적 특징을 이해하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

PURPOSES : Because a driving simulator typically focuses on analyzing a driver’s driving behavior, it is difficult to analyze the effect on the overall traffic flow. In contrast, traffic simulation can analyze traffic flow, that is, the interaction between vehicles; however, it has limitations in describing a driver’s driving behavior. Therefore, a method for integrating the simulator and traffic simulation was proposed. Information that could be controlled through driving experiments was used, and only the lane-change distance was considered so that a more natural driving behavior could be described in the traffic flow. METHODS : The simulated connection method proposed in this study was implemented under the assumption of specific traffic conditions. The driver’s lane-changing behavior (lane-changing distance, deceleration, and steering wheel) due to the occurrence of road debris was collected through a driving study. The lane-change distance was input as a parameter for the traffic simulation. Driving behavior and safety were compared between the basic traffic simulation setting, in which the driver's driving behavior information was not reflected, and the situation in which the driving simulator and traffic simulation were integrated. RESULTS : The number of conflicts between the traffic simulation default settings (Case 1) and the situation in which the driving simulator and traffic simulation were integrated (Case 2) was determined and compared for each analysis. The analysis revealed that the number of conflicts varied based on the level of service and road alignment of the analysis section. In addition, a statistical analysis was performed to verify the differences between the scenarios. There was a significant difference in the number of conflicts based on the level of service and road alignment. When analyzing a traffic simulation, it is necessary to replicate the driving behavior of the actual driver. CONCLUSIONS : We proposed an integration plan between the driving simulator and traffic simulation. This information can be used as fundamental data for the advancement of simulation integration methods.

Small ponds, which exhibit unstable succession pattern of plankton community, are less well studied than large lakes. Recently, the importance of small ponds for local biodiversity conservation has highlighted the necessity of understanding the dynamics of biological community. In the present study, we collected zooplankton from three small reservoirs with monthly basis and analyzed their seasonal dynamics. To understand the complicated zooplankton community dynamics of small reservoirs, we categorized zooplankton species into four groups (LALF Group, Low Abundance Low Frequency; LAHF Group, Low Abundance High Frequency; HALF Group, High Abundance Low Frequency; HAHF Group, High Abundance High Frequency) based on their occurrence pattern (abundance and frequency). We compared the seasonal pattern of each group, and estimated community diversity based on temporal beta diversity contribution of each group. The result revealed that there is a relationship between groups with the same abundance but different occurrence frequencies, and copepod nauplii are common important component for both abundance and frequency. On the other hand, species included with LALF Group throughout the study period are key in terms of monthly succession and diversity. LALF Group includes Anuraeopsis fissa, Hexarthra mira and Lecane luna. However, groups containing species that only occur at certain times of the year and dominate the waterbody, HALF Group, hindered to temporal diversity. The results of this study suggest that the species-specific occurrence pattern is one key trait of species determining its contribution to total annual biodiversity of given community.

In 2022, the Korean Ministry of Environment designated Parthenium hysterophorus as an ecosystem-disturbing plant. The purpose of this study was to present a management plan for P. hysterophorus considering its distribution, morphological, physiological, and ecological characteristics, and to introduce various control techniques. P. hysterophorus is native to Central America and occurs in about 45 countries worldwide. However, in Korea, it only grows in some areas of Tongyeong and Changwon, Gyeongsangnam Province. P. hysterophorus is an annual plant and spreads by seeds, moves between countries in the process of importing and/or exporting agricultural seeds, and spreads by agricultural machinery and vehicles after introduction. P. hysterophorus releases parthenin, an allelochemical that suppresses the occurrence of the surrounding vegetation, from its stems and roots. In addition, P. hysterophorus causes damage to humans and livestock through various allergens. P. hysterophorus can be controlled by physical methods, such as cutting its stems or pulling roots, and by treatment with non-selective herbicides, such as glyphosate. Many biological control research studies have been conducted and, unfortunately, there is no a practical solution so far.

In this study, measurement errors of the X and Y axes were verified by using an 80-100 mm gauge block, an NPL type angle measuring device, and a spelling on a contact-type 3D measuring device surface plate. In addition, the measurement specimen was repeatedly measured 10 times at 10° intervals from 0° to 40° to confirm the average value and standard deviation. After confirming the statistical test value (P) through ANOVA analysis of the statistical program, the correlation between angle change and error was confirmed.
