To investigate seasonal variation and species composition by depth layers in the deep sea ecosystem of the East Sea of Korea, bottom trawl survey was conducted at 4 depth layers during spring and autumn from 2007 to 2009. A total of 47 species were collected and were composed of 23 fish species, 9 crustacea, 6 cephalopoda and 9 gastropoda. The main dominant species at each depth layers were Chionoecetes opilio in 300m, Berryteuthis magister in 500m, Chionoecetes japonicus in 700m and 900m. In spring, richness indices (R) showed low value of 2.01 in 500m depth, and high value of 2.16 in 300m depth. Diversity indices (H') showed low value of 1.53 in 300m depth, and high value of 2.09 in 700m depth. Dominance indices (D) showed low value of 0.15 in 700m depth, and high value of 0.31 in 300m depth. In Autumn, richness indices showed low value of 1.48 in 900m depth, and high value of 2.69 in 300m depth. Diversity' indices (H') showed low value of 1.13 in 300m depth, and high value of 2.23 in 700m depth. Dominance indices (D) showed low value of 0.14 in 700m depth, and high value of 0.54 in 300m depth. In spring, similarity analysis in each depth layers showed the difference between 900m and othe depth layer, on the contrary 500m and 700m showed the similarity. In autumn, similarity analyssis in each depth layers showed the difference between 700m and other depth layers, on the contrary 300m and 500m showed the similarity.

Moths were collected using a 22W UV black light trap in June through September in 2005 and May, June, August and September in 2006. The study sites were Namsan (Mt. Nam), Jirisan (Mt. Jiri), Woraksan (Mt. Worak) which are part of the Korean National Long Term Ecological Research (KNLTER). There were two common forest communities, Quercus mongolica and Pinus densiflora. The purpose of this study was to compare species diversity of the major plant feeding Lepidoptera in the two forest types at the regional KNLTER sites. We collected a total of 435 species from the KLTER sites in 2005 and 2006. Abundance of moths was highest at Woraksan (Mt. Worak) followed by Jirisan (Mt. Jiri). The Namsan (Mt. Nam) site had the lowest, with five families (Arctiidae, Geometridae, Noctuidae, Notodontidae, and Pyralidae). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed statistically significant differences at sampling date in species abundance as a response variable and at site in species richness as another response variable. Although we expected a distinct cluster with the forest type at each study site, one of ordination analyses, nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS), showed distinct clusters with the moth assemblages at each site only but NMS did not show any distinct cluster with the different forest types at each site as we expected.

This study monitored a variety of marine fish communities in artificial reefs unit of the total 5 types (Dice type, Octagonal turtle type, Two-stage tube type, Gazebo type, Tetrapod type) which are located in the marine ranching at Jeju island by scuba diving in May, July, October and December 2009. Underwater photographing was accomplished at total 3 phases (condition of artificial reefs photographing, concentric circle movement photographing and line transect photographing). The preservation condition of artificial reefs facility was very good, and the dominant species were Chromis notatus, Sebastes thompsoni, Oplegnathus fasciatus and Halichoeres poecilopterus. Fish abundance was high in May and June, and low in October and December, 2009. Chromis notatus was dominant at the all types of artificial reefs, Halichoeres poecilopterus for Gazebo type and Tetrapod type of artificial reefs, and Sebastes thompsoni for Dice type, Octagonal turtle type and Two-stage tube type of artificial reefs.

Small wetlands in an upland matrix can support diverse vegetation composition that increase both local and regional species richness. In this study we characterize the full range of wetland vegetation in an upland forest landscape at Dumyeong-ri, Gijang-g

The European red mite (ERM), Panonychus ulmi, and the two-spotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus uritcae, are serious mite pests in pome fruit orchards worldwide. Abundance and species composition of spider mites in orchard ecosystem have been changed historically in many countries. To illustrate the cause for the historical changes in species composition between ERM and TSSM is an interesting topic. The abundances of the two mite populations have been largely changed in Korean apple orchards: ERM was dominant until 1970s, TSSM has been dominant from 1980s, and then ERM has increased abundantly in some orchards in recent years (Lee, 1990; Kim and Lee, 2005). In apple orchards in Japan, Amphitetranychus viennensis outbreaks occurred immediately after the use of organophosphates in the early 1950, and then, ERM became dominant species on apple until the 1960s followed by TSSM abundance from the late 1970s to the early 1980; Recently, ERM again increasing in IPMadopted apple orchards (Reviewed in Morimoto et al., 2006). Kishimoto (2002) showed changes in the species composition of spider mites caused by different pesticide spray programs in Japanese pear orchards. Pesticides can become an important factor that affects mite species composition of mites through the process of resistance development and the removal of natural enemies. Pesticide resistance and the removal of natural enemies can explain the outbreak of spider mites in orchards, but do not fully explain the changes in species composition of mites. Morimoto et al. (2006) reported a possible exclusion of ERM by TSSM through interspecific interaction via their web: the complicated web created by TSSM increases the mortality of little webspinning species such as ERM. Morimoto et al. (2006) stated that the change in mite species composition can occur as a result of interspecific association between spider mites via their webs, without pesticide applications or the presence of natural enemies. However, their hypothesis does not explain the dominance of ERM in orchards under lower pesticide pressure. Also, Belczewski and Harmsen (1997) concluded that the application of additional or supplemental amounts of a Phylloplane fungus (Alternaria alternata) to apple leaves enhanced the population growth of TSSM compared to that of ERM. However, this does not explain the dominance of TSSM in orchards under heavy pesticide pressure where Phylloplane fungal population would be lowered by fungicides, and the dominance of ERM in unsprayed orchards where Phylloplane fungal population would be abundant because of no fungicide application. The change in species composition among spider mites can not be projected with any single factor. It is required to examine all possible combinations of factors involving. Until now the change in abundance between ERM and TSSM has not been examined comprehensively. Therefore, we examine possible changes in population abundance between REM and TSSM with some assumptions. Also, case studies that deal with long-term and short-term changes between the two mites are presented.

The caterpillar-shaped Chinese medicinal mushroom (DongChongXiaCao) looks like a worm in the winter and likes a grass in the summer. The fruiting bodies of Cordyceps species have demonstrated various biological activities and used as traditional medicines in Asian countries. The price of wild Cordyceps have been ascending every year as their demand increase. Recently, the artificial cultivation of these fungi has been successfully established and they are currently produced on a rice or pupae media. This study was carried out to investigate the soluble sugar, amino acid and fatty acid profiles in the fruiting-bodies of Cordyceps militaris, C. pruinosa and Paecilomyces. tenuipes formed on the living silkworm (Bombyx mori) host. Soluble sugars such as glycerol, glucose, mannitol and sucrose were found in the fruiting bodies of Cordyceps militaris, C. pruinosa and P. tenuipes. Total soluble sugar content was 29.23 ㎎g-1in C. militaris, 8.61㎎g-1 in C. pruinosa and 24.00 ㎎g-1in P. tenuipes on dry weight basis. Total free amino acid content was 14.09 ㎎g-1in C. militaris, 34.60㎎g-1 in C. pruinosa and 17.09 ㎎g-1 in P. tenuipes. The content of oleic acid in fatty acids was above high more than 30% regardless of species.
