This study was conducted to clarify the differences in rodents population densities between natural restored and red pine silvicultured forests after forest fire in Samcheok, Gangwon Province, Korea from March to December 2008. One ha size of 3 study plots were set up in each natural restored and silvicultured stand. We trapped the small rodents during 4 consecutive nights every 2 months in each stand. Understory coverage and number of shrub stems were higher in silvicultured stand than in natural restored stand. Coverage of overstory, suboverstory and midstory, number of tree stem, woody seedling stems and dead wood, and amount of coarse woody debris were higher in natural restored stand than in silvicultured stand. Six hundred eighty eight individuals of four species, such as Apodemus agrarius, A. peninsulae, Eothenomys regulus and Tamias sibiricus were captured in our study. Number of captured small rodents were higher in natural restored stand than in silvicultured stand. Also, species compositions were differed in both stands. The captured number of A. agrarius and A. peninsulae were most highest in April and December. E. regulus were shown higher number of captured in April and June, and T. sibiricus were in June and October. Removal of coarse woody debris and silvicultural practice would not be good for the inhabitation of small rodents. For the conservation of small rodents diversity, management of understory and canopy would be needed in forest fired area.

"가을을 상징하는 과일 중 밤나무의 밤 송아리처럼 가을을 대변하는 전령사는 드물 것이다. 가을 빛 영롱한 숲속에서 하늘과 당과 구름과 별과, 햇빛과 바람이 시를 읊고 있는 가을은 가시 속에 아롱진 꿈이 밤송이 되어 바람결에 빗방울처럼 떨어져도 겨울에 먹을 음식이 다람쥐와 청설모에게는 모자라는 안타까움이 인간의 욕심을 새삼 느끼게 하는 구나! 이렇게 우리에게 넉넉함과 즐거움을 주는 밤나무는 양수로서 바람이 적은 산록이나 저지대의 토심이 깊은 비옥토에서 잘 자라며, 맹아력이 좋고 수세가 강건하다. 과실은 예로부터 식용대용으로 각종음식을"

We surveyed diversity, distribution and diversity change of mammalian species in forests of the Nature Environment Research Park (Survey Area I; reservoir and surrounding forests, II; human habitat and surrounding forests and III; mountain forests) in Gangwon Province from 2004 to 2008. During our study, endangered species like Peromys volans, Lutra lutra and Prionailurus bengalensis were present in the surveyed areas. Diversity of mammalian species tends to be a little higher in the Survey Area I and III than the Survey Area II. Annual species diversity was a little higher in 2006, and then there was a little reduction from 2007. However, there was higher reduction in the number of individuals from 2007. Therefore, our results indicate that specific measures are needed for preservation of mammalian habitats to maintain the species diversity and the number of mammalian individuals.

Though relatively little is known of the physiology involved, there is reduced kidney activity during hibernation. In this experimental study, male Korean chipmunks (Tamias sibiricus barberi) were maintained in cold conditions ($6^{\circ}C$) for 9 months, in an attempt to mimic conditions occurring during seasonal hibernation. The examination was made to determine changes of glycoconjugates on the kidney after hibernation by lectin histochemistry. The changes of lectin affinities in the kidney categorize into three groups: a) increase ones only in the early hibernation stage b) increase ones during hibernation and c) decrease ones during hibernation. The transient increase of Con A affinity in the proximal convoluted tubules were demonstrated only in the early cold-treated stage, and PNA and Con A in the distal convoluted tubules and DBA and sWGA in the collecting tubules. SBA affinity tended to increase with hibernation in the proximal convoluted tubules, but sWGA affinities were significantly decreased in the all tubule examined with hibernation. The present results suggest that the glycosylation pattern of the kidney undergoes profound changes during hibernation, and is probably associated with transiently reduced renal function.

We investigated ultrastuctural change of small intestinal mucosal epithelial cell, columnar cell and mucous cell, of hibernating ground squirrel during activating and hibernating stages. In active columnar cells, many mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum were observed. In hibernating columnar cells, more free nhosome than rough endoplasmic reticulum were observed. In active mucous cells, large and many mucosal granules, mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum were observed. Mucosal granules have been secreted excellently. In hibernating mucous cells, small and little mucosal granules and many free ribosome were observed.

전국 어디서나 쉽게 볼 수 있는 참나무류는 가을이면 우리에게 정성스러운 열매를 도토리라는 정겨운 이름으로 우리에게 돌려준다. 그리고 우리 조상들의 예로부터 도토리를 슬기롭게 이용하여 와KT고, 야생동물의 긴요한 식량으로 사용되어, 자연을 풍요롭고 아름답게 만드는 슬기로운 산물이다. 자연을 표방하는 기획물 사진에는 다람쥐가 도토리를 먹고 있는 모습이 대표되는 한 장면이기도 하다. 우리나라 전국어디서나 신갈나무, 갈참나무, 떡갈나무, 굴참나무, 상수리나무, 졸참나무 등 많은 참나무류가 분포하여 가을이면 단풍의 극치를 이루기도 한다. 이들이 만들어내는 종자에 해충이 탐을 내어 우리의 정서를 빼앗고 있다 대표적인 것이 요즘 등산로나 산책로를 따라 가면 길 위에 많이 떨어져 있는 참나무류 가지들의 피해는 도토리거우벌레의 피해이다. 마치 톱으로 참나무가지를 잘라 떨어뜨리는 모습은 자연의 신비가 오묘하다는 것을 말해 주기도 한다. 구과에 알을 낳고는 가지를 주둥이로 잘라서 떨어뜨려 어린자식이 도토리를 먹고는 쉽게 땅속에서 들어갈 수 있게 하는 것이다. 참나무류 도토리를 직접 가해하는 몇몇 해충에 대한 생태 및 방제법을 간략하게 소개하고자 한다.

Endocrine cells were observed in the gastrointestinal tract of the squirrels by light microscopy using Grimelius and Masson-Hamperl silver impregnation, and in the stomach and duodenum by electron microscopy. Light microscopically, argyrophil cell decreased gradually in number in the pyloric region and ileum, stomach, duodenum and jejunum and rectum in the order listed. Argentaffin cells were moderately distributed in the stomach, pyloric region and duodenum, while absent in the jejunum, ileum and rectum. Five kinds of cell types, EC, ECL, D, $D_1$ and G cells were identified in the stomach and three kinds of cell types, S, $EC_1$ and $EC_2$ were also identified in the duodenum by electron microscopy. A cilium noted in the cytoplasm of $D_1$-type cell. The species differences in the distribution, size and structure of the secretory granules were discussed.

The parotid glands of squirrels(Tamias sibiricus asiaticus) were observed by the electron microscope. According to the characteristics of secretory granules and the morphology of cell organelles, the acinar cells could be distinguished into five types of cells(Type I , Type II, Type III, Type IV and Type V cell). Among these, Type III, Type IV and Type V cell were not identified up to date. The morphologic characteristics of the intercalated and striated ducts were the appearance of numerous long slender mitochondria which are located between the numerous basal infoldings, and the epithelium were consisted of light and dark cells. The desmosomes were also observed, and could not found the secretory granules in the cytoplasm of the both epithelium.

A dead, female, 3 years old, squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) was submitted and examined. Before death the monkey has showed lethargy, recumbency and inappetence since November 14, 2001 and died in November 17. Grossly much fibrin was deposited on the pleura of right lung, pericardium, and diaphragm(pleural part). And reddening of right lung was seen. Histopathologically lung showed severe fibrinous pleuritis, severe edema, thrombosis, and focal necrosis in parenchyma. Also much fibrin and mononuclear cells were deposited on the pericardium. In bacterial culture on the pleura and parenchyma of lung, and pericardium, B. bronchiseptica was isolated. Therefore we confirmed this case as the fatal case by B. bronchiseptica in squirrel monkey.

This study investigated mammal fauna in the sabbatical area of Mt. Unmun, Kyungsangbuk-do from December, 2007 to September, 2009. A total of 24 species belonging to 11 Families, 6 Orders, were identified in the survey area. Dominant species were as follows: Chinese water deer (Hydropotes inermis), Siberian chipmunk (Tamias sibiricus), Korean mole (Mogera wogura), and East Asian field mouse (Apodemus peninsulae). Especially, four Legal Protection Species specified as National Monument (NM) and Endangered Species (ES) found in this survey were as follows: Flying squirrel (Petromys volans; NM #328 and ES level II), Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra; NM #330 and ES level I), Leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis; ES level II) and Marten (Martes flavigula; ES level II). These results on the geographical distribution of various mammal species and Legal Protection Species indicate that this area is a valuable ecosystem for native mammal species. On the other hand, many feral cats were also found and specified as a management species. The results of this study show that further long-term investigation and management plan are needed to protect against harmful species and maintain the native ecosystem of Mt. Unmun.
