Abstract

Biodiversity (or biological diversity) is defined as the variability of living organisms, the "diversity of life on Earth," and the complex relationships that make up ecosystems. This study aimed to investigate the spatial and temporal patterns in animal species composition and diversity at the Deukjin River, located in Hapcheon Province, Korea. The fauna community at the Deukjin River during 2016 season was identified with a total of 55 taxa, representing the following six classes: Mammalia (mammals), Actinopterygii (bony fish), Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish), Aves (birds), Amphibia (amphibians), Reptilia (reptiles), and invertebrates. The Berger - Parker index (BPI) for mammals varied from 0.233 (Station A) to 0.333 (Station D). The Shannon - Weaver index (H') and two diversity indexes (N1 and N2) for mammals and birds in the upper region were higher than those in the lower region. The values of ${\beta}$-diversity for animals varied from 0.229 for fish to 0.339 for invertebrates. The richness indices for animal taxa also varied among the stations and seasons. Station A showed considerably high richness in mammals, birds, and reptiles/amphibians. Although the richness indices (R1 and R2) for six animal kingdoms during the seasons were different from each other, the difference was not significant (p<0.05). The evenness indices for five animal kingdoms were different from each other, but again, the difference was not significant (p<0.05).

생물다양성은 생존하는 유기체들의 변이성으로 정의하며 지구상의 생물의 다양성과 생태계를 구성하는 복잡한 상호작용을 일컫는다. 본 연구는 합천군 덕진천에 서식하는 동물의 종조성과 다양성을 공간적 시간적 양상으로 실시하였다. 2016년 시즌에 동정된 포유류, 연골어류, 경골어류, 조류, 양서류, 파충류, 어류 종의 수는 55분류군이었다. 포유류의 Berger-Parker's index (BPI)는 0.233(지점 A)에서 0.333(지점 D)로 나타났다. 포유류와 조류에 대한 Shannon-Weaver index (H')와 두 다른 다양성 척도(N1과 N2)는 상류지역이 하류 지역보다 높았다. 동물 분류군에 대한 ${\beta}$-다양성은 어류 0.229에서 무척추동물 0.339까지 나타났다. 동물종에 대한 풍부도 지수는 지점과 시기에 따라 변화가 있었다. 지점 A는 포유류, 조류, 양서/파충류에서 높은 풍부도를 나타내었다. 비록 다섯 동물 강에 대한 풍부도 지수(R1, R2)가 시즌 별로 다르지만 유의성을 나타내지는 않았다. 균등도 지수(E1-E5) 역시 시즌 별로 다르지만 유의성을 나타내지는 않았다.
