Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the bat (Chiroptera) fauna in Jeju Island. Bat distribution was monitored in lava tubes, sea caves, cave encampments and eco-corridors from July, 2006 to June, 2015. Bat specimens were also confirmed at the museums in Jeju Island. From the present study, we found 8 species of 6 genera belong to 3 families, which was different from the records had previously described in Jeju Island since 1928. Five species (Rhinolophus ferrumequium, Myotis bombinus, M. formosus, M. macrodactylus and Miniopterus schreibersi) were commonly found to live in lava tubes and cave enforcements. But only R. ferrumequium was found in a sea cave and five species including Murina leucogaster and Pipistrellus abramus were found in eco-corridors. We have also found seven species including Tadarida insignis in the specimens stored in local museums. From the results of this study, we actually could not found the remaining seven species (Hypsugo savii, Miniopterus fuscus, Myotis mystacinus, Myotis ikonnikovi, Myotis branditii, Myotis petax and Pipistrellus endoi). Interestingly, Myotis formosus which is known as one of endangered species and Myotis bombinus which is very rare in Korean Peninsula were currently found in Jeju Island. In addition, Tube-nosed bat (Murina leucogaster) that was discovered for the first time through this study. A variety of habitats for Chiroptera were identified, but the information is still not sufficient to understand. These results will be useful to provide a fundamental data in preserving the diversity of bats and in ecological study in Jeju Island.

본 연구는 제주도에 분포하는 박쥐류상 (Chiroptera)을 밝히기 위해 2006년 7월부터 2015년 6월까지 용암동굴, 해식동굴, 진지동굴, 생태통로 등으로 지역을 구분하여 조사되었다. 또한 제주도 내 박물관에 소장된 박쥐류 표본을 조사하였다. 연구결과, 3과 6속 8종의 박쥐류의 서식이 확인되었는데, 이 결과는 1928년부터 보고된 사전 문헌기록들과는 다소 다른 양상을 나타내었다. 용암동굴과 진지동굴에서는 관박쥐, 흰배윗수염박쥐, 붉은박쥐, 큰발윗수염박쥐, 긴가락박쥐가 공통적으로 서식하는 것으로 확인되었다. 해식동굴에서는 1개 지역에서만 관박쥐가 확인되었고, 생태통로에서는 관코박쥐와 집박쥐를 비롯한 5종이 확인되었다. 지역 내 박물관에 소장된 표본조사 결과 큰귀박쥐의 표본도 확인되었다. 연구를 통해 확인된 8종 외에 큰집박쥐, 작은긴가락박쥐, 윗수염박쥐, 쇠큰수염박쥐, M. branditii, 물윗수염박쥐, 작은집박쥐 등 7종은 확인되지 않았다. 흥미로운 점은 멸종위기종으로 알려진 붉은박쥐와 한반도에서는 드물게 발견되는 흰배윗수염박쥐가 제주도에서 서식하는 것이 확인된 것과, 관코박쥐도 조사과정에서 처음으로 발견되는 등 다양한 장소에서 박쥐류가 서식하고 있음이 확인되었다는 것이다. 이 연구결과는 제주도에서 박쥐류의 보전을 위한 생물다양성 연구나 생태학적 연구를 하는 데 유용한 자료로 활용될 것이라 판단된다.
