Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the elevational and seasonal variation of moth diversity of Mt. Baegun-san, Gwangyang-city, Jeonnam. Moth collecting was carried out using a UV light trap at three different elevational sites from September to October 2014 and from April to October 2015 (9 times) except winter. A total of 288 moth species and 1,444 individuals in 15 families were identified. Geometridae (97 species and 740 individuals) were the most dominant in the numbers of species and individuals, followed by Noctuidae (62 species, 193 individuals), Erebidae (52 species, 177 individuals) and Notodontidae (16 species, 111 individuals). Elevational change showed that the lower elevation, the higher number of species and individuals. Seasonal change of numbers of species and individuals showed the M-shaped pattern with June and August peaks. Compared to the previous records from historical literatures, 197 species were newly added and the total moth species richness of Mt. Baegun-san comprised 449 species in 20 families. The Chao 2 estimated number of species using the observed species including unpublished data set was 1,530 species that comprised about 43% of the Korean Lepidopteran fauna. This large number of estimated species requested the more extensive and long-term survey for better understanding of the total moth fauna in this area.

이 연구의 목적은 전남 광양시 일대 백운산에 서식하는 나방의 고도 및 계절에 따른 다양성을 알아보는 것이다. 2014년 9월과 10월 그리고 2015년 4월부터 10월까지 겨울을 제외한 기간 동안 자외선등 트랩을 사용하여 총 9회 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 나비목 15과 288종 1,444개체가 채집, 확인되었다. 출현한 종 수는 자나방과가 97종 740개체, 밤나방과가 62종 193개체, Erebidae가 52종 177개체, 재주나방과가 16종 111개체 등으로 나타났다. 고도별로는 고도가 높아질수록 종 다양성이 줄어드는 양상을 나타냈으며 계절별로는 6월과 8월에 종 수 및 개체수가 최대값을 나타내는 M-자형 양상을 나타내었다. 기존에 조사된 문헌과 비교한 결과 197종이 새로이 추가되어 백운산의 나방상은 총 20과 449종으로 보고한다. 이 조사에서 확인된 종수 및 기존의 자료를 이용한 기대종수는 Chao 2 예상치의 경우 1,530종으로 나타나 종 다양성이 높은 지역으로 확인 되었으며 추후 이 지역에 대한 종합적이고 지속적인 연구가 지속되어야 할 것으로 생각한다.
