Abstract

We investigated the diversity of lepidopteran larvae and their food plants in a 0.1 ha plot at Mt. Jirisan National Park, South Korea. The plant species in the plot were identified, and the lepidopteran larvae that fed on each plant in the plot were collected. Thus, we collected 141 plants of 16 species that belonged to 14 families and 159 lepidopteran larvae of 70 species that belonged to 11 families. Oak (Quercus serrata) was found to be the most favored plant species. Among the 11 lepidopteran families, the species richness and evenness of two families, Geometridae and Noctuidae, were the highest. On the basis of this study, we could assume the interaction between food plants and caterpillars in a temperate forest. Furthermore, we could estimate the species diversity of lepidopteran caterpillars in this temperate forest.

나비목 종 다양성이 높은 지리산 온대 낙엽수림의 0.1 ha ($33m{\times}33m$) 방형구에서 나비목 애벌레와 기주식물의 다양성을 조사하였다. 방형구에 있는 식물의 종 및 개체수를 확인하고 이들 식물에서 먹이활동을 하는 애벌레를 채집하였다. 조사결과 14과 16종 141개체의 기주식물과, 11과 70종 159개체의 나비목 애벌레가 조사되었다. 나비목 애벌레는 졸참나무에서 가장 많이 채집되어 조사지역에서 선호 기주식물로 조사되었다. 채집된 애벌레의 종 다양성과 종 균등도는 자나방과와 밤나방과에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 이 연구를 통해 나비목 애벌레와 기주식물과의 관계를 알 수 있었으며, 나아가 온대림의 나비목 애벌레의 종 다양성을 추정할 수 있을 것이다.
