Abstract
This study was conducted to identify the impact of river improvement efforts by studying terrestrial insects inhabiting at streamside locations at the Daejeon and Yudeung streams. Seven surveys were conducted from April to October on 2008 and the results were analyzed. Totally 428 species of 110 families belonging to 11 orders of insects were investigated during the course of the present study. The insects identified at the Daejeon stream belonged to 335 species, 99 families and 11 orders, while those at the Yudeung stream were of 350 species, with 98 families and 11 orders. At the Daejeon stream, D-1 and D-2 points were the sites where the most species(178 species) were identified, while at the Yudeung stream, the Y-1 point was the site where the most species(179 species) emerged. In a cluster analysis based on a similarity index, Group A(without river improvement works) and Group B(downtown passing area with river improvement works) were created. Within Group A, survey points were classified as the Daejeon stream group(the A-1 Group) and the Yudeung stream group(the A-2 Group). It was found that the emergence patterns of insects were related to regional characteristics of the streams.
