본 연구에서는 감귤원에서 초생재배 유무(초생재배 W, 제초제 살포 NW)와 합성피레스로이드계 살포유무(살포 P, 무살포 NP)에 따른 귤 응애의 개체군 동태를 구명하고자 수행되었다. 두 가지 기본적인 가설로 1) 초생재배는 천적의 서식처를 제공하여 천적의 정착을 높이므로 귤응 애의 발생을 감소시키는 요인으로 작용하며, 2) 합성피레스로이드계는 천적을 제거하여 귤응애의 밀도를 증가시키는 요인으로 가정하였다. 관측 된 천적 개체군(주로 이리응애류와 마름응애류)의 발생은 가정에 근거한 기대치와 크게 다르지 않았다. 2011년의 경우 NW+NP 처리구와 W+NP 처리구에서 차이가 있었으나, 2012년 실험에서는 기대치와 관측치가 거의 일치하였다. 전체적으로 약제효과가 뚜렷하게 나타나서 합성 피레스로이드계 살포시 천적이 유의하게 감소하였다. 잡초효과는 엇갈리는 결과를 보였는데, 봄-유래 여름 개체군 대비 가을 개체군의 증가 등을 고려할 때 초생재배를 하는 경우 천적의 발생이 증가하였다. 다만, 합성피레스로이드계 살포구에서 귤응애가 감소하는 비이상적인 결과는 귤응 애의 합성피레스로이드계에 대한 강한 기피성을 전제로 해석할 수 있었다.

Nando Island is reported as one of the biggest breeding colonies of seabirds in South Korea, and is protected as a Natural Monument. This study was conducted between July to November 2015, to investigate the breeding population of Black-tailed gulls and their habitat on Nando Island. We estimated the breeding population of Black-tailed gulls (Larus crassirostris) using nest density. The mean nest density of Black-tailed gulls was 0.51 per 1 m2 (0.51 m-2), and the breeding population was approximately 26,760 individuals. The dominant vegetation was Echinochloa crusgalli and Agropyron tsukushiense var. transiens, which served as shelter and nest sites to Black-tailed gulls. The diet of Black-tailed gulls was mainly the fish, Japanese Anchovy Engraulis japonicas (48%). Other species which were found to breed on Nando Island were Streaked Sheawater (Calonectris leucomelas), Temminck’s Cormorant (Phalacrocorax capillatus), and Swinhoe’s storm petrels (Oceanodroma monorhis).

Global warming can seriously influence on the interaction between pest and natural enemy in the agroecosystem due to the differences in optimal temperature ranges. Two aphid-ladybug systems, Myzus persicae-Coccinella septempunctata (M-C) and Aphis gossypii-Coccinella septempunctata (A-C) in the pepper crop were simulated, respectively under four different temperature scenarios including crop development over 244 days with the assumption that the average temperature is higher by 1, 3, and 5 °C than that in Seoul in 2000. Temperature-dependent functions for each aphid-ladybug system were embedded in Rosenzweig-Macathur predator-prey model to explore their population dynamics, and then Dynamic Index was used to quantify the strengths of species interactions. The result shows that the predator-prey population cycles as well as species interactions are getting shorter and stronger in both systems as temperature increased. Especially, the excessively high temperature scenario in Aphis gossypii-Coccinella septempunctata system could result in the extreme species interaction. Therefore, the increasing temperature can facilitate the effectiveness of biological control because of growing crop plant development and much stronger species interaction, although there are increases of the frequency of pest occurrences.

본 연구는 한국 희귀종인 한란의 보전을 위하여 ISSR 표지자를 이용한 유전변이와 분화 및 공간적 유전구조를 분석하였다. 분석된 유전다양성(Species level: h=0.303, S.I=0.389)은 근연종과 다른 희귀 종에 비해 높은 유전변이를 나타내었다. 또한 유전자형 다양성(Species level: GN/N=0.884, D=0.996) 역시 높게 나타나 주로 타가수정이 이루어지는 것으로 조사되었다. 한편, 소집단 A와 B 간에 분화정도 는 23%로 소집단 간의 인접거리를 고려했을 때, 집단 내에서도 분포의 위치에 따라 분화가 발생하고 있었다. 높은 수준의 유전다양성과 분화의 발생요인을 고려했을 때, 과거 외부에서 지속적으로 유입된 한란 개체로부터의 영향과 매개충의 역할이 주요한 원인으로 추정되었다. 소집단의 공간적 유전구조 분 석에서 A는 9m, B는 6m 이내에 분포하는 개체들 간에 유전적 유사성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이 결 과를 바탕으로 한란의 현지 외 보전을 위한 표본 추출 시 최소 9m 이상의 간격을 유지하는 것을 제안 하는 바이다.

멸종위기종이며 식물지리학적으로 중요 종임에도 불 구하고, 천연기념물 제191호 한란의 개체군 생태에 관 한 연구는 우리나라에서 수행된 바 없다. 본 연구는 2013년 10월부터 2014년 2월까지 제주특별자치도 서 귀포시 상효동 돈내코 계곡과 접한 한란 자생지의 환경 개체군 구조 및 미세 석시처 선호성을 분석하였다. 조사 지역 (1.25 ha)에서 총 1,237 (989.6개체 ha-1)개체의 한 란을 관찰하였으며, 위인경 (pseudobulb)은 모두 4,341 개, 그리고 17개체 (1.4%)에서 개화를 확인하였다. 전체 개체 중 60.9%에서 잎마름 및 반점 등의 병징이 관찰 되었다. 엽면적의 경우 전체적으로 소형 개체가 가장 많 고, 준중형, 중형, 준대형 및 대형의 순으로 많은 역-J자 형태로 나타났다. 한란의 크기 (위인경 수 rs=-0.159, 잎 수 rs=-0.148, 그리고 엽면적 rs=-0.114)는 토양온 도와 약하지만 유의한(p⁄0.0001) 음의상관을 나타내었 다. 한란은 거의 모든 개체 (95.4%)가 구실잣밤나무 아 래에서 자라고 있었으며, 공간적으로 모여서 자라는 특 성을 나타내었다. 연구 지역에 나타난 한란 개체군 특성 은 종의 서식처 선호성과 자생지의 천이 진행에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구를 통하여 한란 자생지 모니터 링 기반을 마련하였으며, 개체군 특성에 기초한 보전방 안을 논의 하였다.

Biological control of rice insect pest is an important component of an IPM program. There are many species of natural enemies which contribute to the suppression of rice pest populations below economic injury levels. In order to use biological control more efficiently, it is a need to identify beneficial species and determine their roles in possible regulation of insect pests. There is a rich complex of biological control agents in rice and bund. This research was carried out to investigate the population density of insect pests and natural enemies in the rice field and bund. A total of 7 pest species and 15 natural enemy species were collected in the rice field. 10 pest species and 20 natural enemy species were collected in the bund, also. Changes in population density of insect pests and its prey were investigated in the rice field and bund. Population densities of insect pests were low at any time during the rice growth period in the field. This could be the high density of natural enemies. Bunds served as refuge for natural enemies when rice maturity. There are rich complex of biological control agents in rice field and bund. So, when we practice integrated pest management(IPM) of rice insect pests, we should use various natural enemies.

A basidiomycetous wood rotting fungus Pleurocybella porrigens (angel wings) has been well known as an excellent edible mushroom and named as Sugihiratake, in Japanese common name based on its morphological and ecological features. This mushroom has been favorably consuming by Japanese people. In 2004, an outbreak of serious acute encephalopathy exclusively occurred in patients with chronic kidney diseases after the intake of this mushroom. Thereafter, many researchers have conducted to examine the factor of onset of the encephalopathy, but the exact factors that induced the encephalopathy still remain unclear. Matsumoto et al. (2005) reported the mushroom specimens from different geographical areas in Japan were grouped into two distinct clusters based on ITS rDNA sequences. Vegetative growth of P. porrigens is extremely slow even cultivation on natural media surveyed and its physiological characteristic gives a disadvantage for the development of various fields of researches on this mushroom. Thus, we attempted to find a medium accelerating the vegetative growth of P. porrigens for further research to elucidate the possible association between its chemical constituent(s) and the onset of encephalopathy. Fifteen isolates of P. porrigens collected from different geographical areas in Japan were cultivated on PDA. The growth of the isolates was extremely slow as we know and most tested isolates formed mycelia look like those often observed in the cultivation of basidiomycetous ectomycorrhizal fungi. Among them, we chose five isolates based on the ranking of their higher growth rates. The top five isolates were cultured in five kinds of liquid media, PD medium, MY medium, Carrot medium, Ohta’s medium for ectomycorrhizal fungi (Ohta, 1990) and Amazake medium (Ishihara, 2007), and on a solid medium, PDA, at 20℃ in the dark. The dry biomasses of the isolates cultured in the liquid media were determined after 6 weeks of the stationary cultivation whereas the growth rates of the isolates cultured on PDA were compared by the colony diameter after 8 weeks of the cultivation. Among the tested liquid media, PD medium was the most suitable medium for their biomass growth (17 mg dry mycelium/flask - 127 mg dry mycelium/flask) and followed by Ohta’s medium (13 mg dry mycelia/flask - 79 mg dry mycelia/flask), MY medium (10 mg dry mycelium/flask - 72 mg dry mycelium/flask), Amazake medium (8 mg dry mycelium/flask - 47 mg dry mycelium/flask) and Carrot medium (4 mg dry mecelium/flask - 18 mg dry mycelium/flask). The average biomass growths of the isolates cultured in the synthetic medium, Ohta’s medium were 20-92% of those of the isolates cultured in PD medium. No correlation was observed between the cultivation in PD medium (liquid medium) and that on PDA (solid medium). Extremely large biomass variation was observed among the same isolates cultured on the same kind of the liquid medium. Large variation in colony features associated with their growth rates was also observed among the isolates cultured on PDA. These results suggest that PD medium would be a suitable one for most researches and Ohta’s medium for researches requiring clarity of its chemical constituents. The above results also indicate that the Japanese population of P. porrigens has large variation in vegetative growth although we have not yet examined whether the tested isolates comprise cryptic species or not.

Background : Atractylodes japonica koidz (AJ) is a perennial herb that belongs to Atractylodes genus. The dried rhizome of AJ is known as ‘Baek-chul’. The ‘Baek-chul’ is used as important traditional medicine in north-east Asia. It is considered to be effective for the treatment of stomach disorder, virus, diuresis, inflammation, arthritis. AJ is heavily depend on import from china and only few studies have been carried out. In this study, we develop SSR marker to build a foundation of breeding, to analyze genetic diversity and to construct core collection. Methods and Results : AJ resources was collected from each different place. To find simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker, we sequenced genomic DNA of AJ resources using Illumina HiSeq 2000 System. As a result of next generation sequencing (NGS), we obtained putative SSR loci. From these SSR primers, 553 SSR primer sets were designed successfully and confirmed polymorphism by in silico analysis. Nucleotide motifs ranged from tri- to penta-. Among these, 48 primer were tested in 4 individuals by capillary electrophoresis. Finally, selected 28 SSR marker were showed clear band and polymorphism by Electrophoresis. Conclusion : In this study, we developed 28 polymorphic SSR marker using NGS, and it could be used for analyzing genetic diversity of A. japonica. These marker would be useful for breeding of new cultivar in the future.

Many urban people are attracted to the recreational opportunities and attractions of rural areas, such as beautiful scenery, lakes, mountains, forests, and resorts. Furthermore, rural development planning increasingly emphasizes the integration of resource extractive industries with non-market-based recreational and amenity values. This article outlines a method to estimate an amenity level of rural areas such as natural amenities index and shows the relation of the natural amenity and population growth. The results revealed that natural amenity classifying each region can be explained with geographical characteristics, temperature-humidity, and sunshine duration time. In analysis with population, natural amenity does not exactly explain that but can be one of the important factor of population change.

The genetic variabilities of second chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster concealed in O^n-yang natural population have been analyzed by the Cy//Pm method and an allelism test during two years (1993-1994). The mean frequencies of deleterious(lethal and semilethal) genes in O^n-yang natural population were estimated to be 23.97% in 1993 and 27.15% in 1994, respectively. The allelism rates between lethal genes in the population were 0.654%(1993) and 1.429%(1994). The mean values of elimination by frequencies of deleterious genes and allelism rates were 0.0004(1993) and 0.0010(1994), respectively. The frequencies of phenotypic sterility of males in 1994 were estimated to be 1.95%, and thoses of genotypic sterility of females and males were estimated to be 1.54% and 2.31%, respectively.
