We observed the external genitalia and uterus of a 24-month-old freemartin Hanwoo. The vulva was smaller than observed in a normal female Hanwoo, while the clitoris was larger in the freemartin. The angle between the external genitalia and the perineum also varied. Upon internal genital examination, the uterus of the freemartin was a thin tube approximately 18 cm in size and had not differentiated into a normal uterus and uterine horns.

주왕산국립공원의 삼림식생에 대한 식물사회학적 연구가 이루어졌다. 식물사회의 종조성과 서식처의 균질성을 강조하는 Z.-M. 학파의 방법으로 수행하였다. 52개 식생자료가 획득되었고, 출현식물 총 265분류군의 행동양식은 9계급의 변환통합우점도와 상대기여도를 통해 분석하였다. 식생자료의 모둠화 과정을 통해 단위식생을 분류하고, 그 분포와 현존균질도 등이 분석되었다. 4가지 상관우점식생 속에 9개 식물군락이 기재되었다: 신갈나무-애기감둥사초군락, 신갈나무-뱀고사리군락, 졸참나무-둥근잎천남성군락, 굴참나무-털조록싸리군락, 떡갈나무-털피나무군락, 서어나무-털대사초군락, 느티나무-등칡군락, 들메나무-개면마군락, 소나무-가는잎그늘사초군락. 삼림식생의 대상분포가 논의되었고, 표고 약 700 m가 냉온대 중부·산지대(신갈나무-생강나무아군단역)와 남부·저산지대(졸참나무-작살나무아군단역)의 전이대인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 주왕산국립공원의 삼림식생은 종조성의 낮은 균질성이 특징이었다. 결론적으로 주왕산국립공원의 삼림식생은 <지역생물기후구-대구형> 속에서 더욱 강한 대륙성 생물기후환경과 세립질 풍화토와 암편을 공급하는 유문암질 응회암 우세의 지질 환경에 대응하는 고유성이 큰 지역식생이고, 산불 영향이 더해진 근자연림 또는 이차림인 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Two species of the genus Argyresthia Hübner are reported for the first time from Korea: A. albicomella Moriuti, A. alpha Friese & Moriuti. Up to now, unknown information of male genitalia of A. albicomella is firstly described herein. Illustration of adults and genitalia are provided.

The subgenus Compsidia Mulsant, 1839 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) in Korea is reviewed. Habitus andgenitalia of two species belong to the subgenus are described and illustrated. Larva and pupa of the known species, Saperda(Compsidia) populnea (Linné, 1758) are also described with its biological note.

An Oriental genus Paraleprodera Breuning, 1935 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Monochamiini) has been found for the first time in Korea in the form of Paraleprodera diophthalma diophthalma (Pascoe, 1857) from South Korea. We provide the first description of the genital structure and immature stage of Paraleprodera. A diagnosis of the genus, re-description, biological information and illustrations of P. diophthalma diophthalma are also provided.

The Silphidae Latreille, 1806 was reviewed as 26 species of 9 genera from Korea. In this study, we report a new subspecies, Silpha perforata jejuensis ssp. nov, from Is. Jeju and taxonomic revision of the family Silphidae in Korean Peninsula. We provide descriptions, Photograph of morphological and genital structures and a key of Korean species.

We sequenced complete mitochondrial genomes (mt genomes) of four Apis species, such as A. cerana, A. dorsata, A. laboriosa, and A. mellifera ligustica. The A. m. ligustica used in this study was originated from United States and selected for a high hygienic behavior during several years of breeding program. Considering current phylogenetic hypothesis of Apis the positive relationships between phylogeny and gene rearrangement was not supported. Phylogenetic reconstruction using available Apoidea species has shown the relationships ((Apidae + Colletidae) + Crabronidae). Within Apis, a strong support for three groups was obtained: A. florea and A. andreniformis as a basal group to the other A. cerana and A. mellifera group and A. dorsata and A. laboriosa group. The test to find out suitable single mt gene for the phylogeny at the genus level and below-genus level of Apis provided an identical topology from ND4L and ND6 in the ML analysis and ND3 and NF4L in the BI analysis to that from whole mt genome, with relatively strong support, indicating that these individual genes can potentially be utilized for within-species level phylogeny of Apis.

The spotted-wing drosophila Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an Asian species introduced into North America and Europe. It damages a wide variety of thin-skinned fruits. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of D. suzukii to better understand the mitogenomic characteristics of this species and understand phylogentic relationships of Drosophila. The 16,230-bp complete mitogenome of the species consists of a typical set of genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes, and one major non-coding A+T-rich region, with an arrangement typical of insects. Twelve PCGs began with the typical ATN codon, whereas the COI began with TCG, which has been designated as the start codon for other Drosophila species. The 1,525-bp A+T-rich region is the second longest in Drosophila species for which the whole mitogenome has been sequenced, after D. melanogaster. Phylogenetic analysis with the 13 PCGs of the Drosophila species using Bayesian Inference and Maximum likelihood methods both placed D. suzukii at the basal lineage of the previously defined Melanogaster group, with a strong support.

신생대 어류 화석 4개체가 포항의 마이오세 두호층에서 발견되었다. 본 화석은 뒷지느러미의 앞쪽 담기골 (pterygiophore)이 연장되어 있고, 후의쇄골(postcleithrum)이 존재하며, 두 개의 인접한 혈관극 사이에 뒷지느러미 담기 골 두개가 거의 일정하게 존재한다. 그리고 첫 번째와 두 번째 하미축골(hypurals)이 융합되었고, 세 번째와 네 번째 하 미축골과 첫 번째 전미추체(preural centrum)가 융합되어 있다. 그리고 두부인근의 잘 발달된 판상 신경극과 낚시바늘 모양의 미설골(urohyal)이 존재하고, 그 좌골부(sciatic part)가 꺾여있다. 그리고 준하미골(parahypural)이 첫 번째 전미추 체로부터 분리되어 있다. 이를 근거로 볼 때, 이 화석은 국내 최초의 가지미목으로 동정되었다. 그간의 두호층 지질학 적 연구는 천해환경의 생물들이 육상의 큰 홍수와 같은 사건으로 떠내려가 저탁류에 의해 심해환경에서 퇴적되었다고주장해 왔다. 하지만 여태껏 천해환경 생물들만 발견되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 두호층에서 최초로 심해생물인 가자미류 가 보고되었다.

The Lamiine subgenus Pseudale Schwarzer, 1925 from Korean peninsula is reviewed. Along with the only recorded species Pterolophia (Pseudale) jiriensis Danilevsky, 1996, we found two additional new species based on morphological and genital difference. Descriptions, photographs of habitus and male genitalia of each species and a key to species of Korea are provided herein. Hence, genital variation of 4 different geographical populations of Pterolophia (Pseudale) jiriensis is discussed.

Cynegetis impunctata (Linnaeus, 1767), a phytophagous lady beetle, was recorded in South Korea for the first time recently. Previously, only the adult form of this species had been described. In this study, we provide a redescription of the adult and the first descriptions of the larva and pupa. Diagnostic characters for this species are given, and intraspecific color variation in Cynegetis impunctata adults is discussed.

The paper focuses on the clothing codes described in the Analects of Confucius, and explores the reasons for the rules setting up, including the rules of color, the design, the pattern, and even the material of the clothes whose distinct features reflect the ceremony and etiquette of the time in the classic, which are in correspondence with the requirements of Confucianism, especially for stressing the social rights, obligations and codes of conduct to everyone in the society.
