The effects of number of host plants and nectar plants on the number and diversity of butterflies were monitored and analyzed by simple and multiple regression from May 2008 to Sep 2009 in the Bubjusa region (Mt. Sokri, Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do), which was divided into four regions. The results demonstrate that the number of butterflies has a positive correlation with the number of host plant species, the number of nectar plant species, and the number of host plants multiple regression analysis. The number of butterflies also increased habitat area. However, the butterfly species number and diversity index showed lower correlation with the number of host plants and the area size of the divided region, respectively, when analyzed by simple regression. In addition, increased species diversity in a region with more diverse plant flora. These results suggest that the composite distribution of host and nectar plants with diverse plant flora is required for butterfly diversity and population preservation. Additionally, it also suggest that vegetation types complementarity all factors.

In order to develop an efficient feed for successful growth of Golden frog, Rana plancyi chosenica, larvae, we compared and analyzed the growth of the frog larvae, supplying four different food types. The growth of Golden frog larvae fed a vegetable food of spirogyra and cabbages and a mixture of vegetable and animal foods, TetraMin, a commercial fish food, or eel feed, was faster than that of the larvae fed only organic matters and vegetables collected from natural habitats. Among artificial food types, the mixture of vegetable and animal foods was more efficient for larval growth than the vegetable food. For the successful metamorphosis, the mixture of vegetable food and Tetramin was the most efficient food, comparing other types of food. These results suggest that a mixture of vegetable and animal food mixed in an appropriate proportion would be the most efficient artificial feed for the successful growth and metamorphosis of Golden frog larvae.

Preference of food plants of wild birds was shown in the order of Pinus densiflora, Celtis sinensis, Celastrus orbiculatus, Rosa multiflora, Taxus cuspidata, and Euonymus japonica, etc. The wild birds preferred the animal food(92.2%) rather than the vegetable food(32.7%) in breeding season(May through June), but preferred both animal and vegetable foods in non-breeding season(November through December). The rates utilzing artficial nest were 77.5%, 50.3%, 44.1% and 42.2% in Nosan, Sanho, Chinju-castle and Bibong parks, respectively. The wild birds used more the 3cm hole than 5cm hole.

옥수수를 재배할 때 가장 문제가 되는 해충은 조명나방(Ostrinia furnacalis)이다. 조명나방은 나비목 포충나방과에 속하는 곤충으로 유럽과 아메리카, 아프리카 대륙을 제외한 여러 지역에 분포하는데, 국내에서는 1924년 처음 기록되었다. 먹이로는 외떡잎식물인 옥수수, 수수, 조, 율무뿐만 아니라 피망과 같은 쌍떡잎식물도 있어 기주식물 범위가 넓은 해충으로 알려져 있다. 애벌레가 먹이식물의 줄기와 열매 속으로 파고 들어가 안에서 먹는데, 옥수수에는 잎, 줄기, 수꽃과 암술, 열매의 겉과 속에 구멍을 내어 피해를 준다. 외부에 노출되지 않고 식물의 안쪽에서 생활하는 곤충으로 관리하기에 어려운 점이 많다. 따라서 조명나방에 대한 이해를 돕고자 조명나방의 생태와 예찰방법을 소개한다.

호수 생태계내의 생물군집은 생산자로서의 식물플랑크톤과 소비자로서의 동물플랑크톤 및 어류가 주된 위치를 차지하고 세균은 분해자로서 기능한다는 것은 일반적으로 알려진 사실이다. 그러나 1970년대에 들어 세균군집이 생태계내에서 먹이사슬을 연계하는 2차 생산자로서도 기능한다는 사실이 제기되어, 오늘날에는 생태계내에서 세균군집의 역할이 보다 강조되고 있다(6,40,41,42,50). 먹이사슬에 대한 관심은 많은 연구결과들을 생산하였지만 복잡한 먹이사슬 구조는 아직까지 부분적인 이해만을 허락하고 있다. 특히, 어류, 동물 플랑크톤, 식물플랑크톤, 미생물의 각 분야가 서로 구분되어 발전해 왔기 때문에 이들간의 상호작용을 정확하게 밝히는 데에는 많은 한계가 있어 왔다. 1970년대 이래로 담수생태계의 부영양화를 해결하기 위한 방안으로서 생태계내의 먹이 사슬을 이용하는 생물조작의 개념이 대두되었으며, 각 분야의 통합적 연관성을 필요로 함으로써 생태계 이해에 많은 지식을 제공하였다. 이 글에서는 담수생태학의 한 분야로서 생물군집간의 상호작용인 먹이사슬의 연구동향을 생물조작 개념을 중심으로 기술하고자 한다.

This study was to evaluate the application of microhistological analysis to collect information on food materials of korean water deer from september to October 2006. For microhistological analysis we extracted type-materials of 4 plant species ($Ipomoea$ $batatas$, $Rubus$ $coreanus$, $Glycine$ $max$, and $Pueraria$ $thunbergiana$) from fecal pellets of korean water deer ($Hydropotes$ $inermis$) and then made preparations of the fecal materials for microscopic analysis. The fecal preparations were compared with reference preparation under the microscope. In microscopic analysis of fecal preparations, we could identify the four plant species by the followings: tip shape and morphology of trichomes, epidermal cell, morphological composition and shape of stomatal apparatus, arrangement of long-cell, and distribution of crystals in cells. According to the comparisons of the preparations, the morphology of trichome, epidermal cell and stomata are similar between both preparations of the fecal pellets and the references, respectively. This methodology will contribute to understanding feeding behavior and behavioural ecology by climate change of other hervibores as well as korean water deers.

해양의 유기물 합성의 95%를 담당하는 식물프랑크톤은 해양 먹이연쇄의 1차 생산자로서 이들을 여과 섭식하는 이매패류는 식물프랑크톤의 분포나 양에 따라 그 생산이 좌우된다. 그러나 이 식물프랑크톤의 분포는 동일한 해역이라도 영양염류, 수온, 태양광선의 세기와 해수면에 입사된 광선이 해수 중에서 소멸되는 정도 등에 따라 생선속도가 달라지므로 동일해역에서도 분포의 변이가 매우 심하다. 기초생산력의 차이는 굴 성육에 관계되므로 여과섭식성 이매패류 양식장의 생산성 평가의 기초자료로 이용되고 있다(배 등, 1978; 이 등, 1991). 이 연구는 북만의 기초생산력을 조사하여, 다른 해역과 비교하고 먹이생물의 생산능력에 의한 굴양식장 수용력을 검토하는 자료로 제공하였다.

By reviewing previous literature, we analyzed the food sources of 20 out of 29 endangered fish species from freshwater ecosystems in South Korea. A total of 19 studies reported that food sources of 20 endangered fish species included 20 phyla, 31 classes, 58 orders, 116 families, and 154 genera. Arthropod, insecta, diptera, and chironomidae were the most fed animal food sources according to different resolution of taxa index on phylum, class, order and family. Similarity, bacillariophyta, bacillariophyceae, naviculales, and cymbellaceae were the most fed abundant plant sources. A larger number of fish species were reliant on animal food sources than plant food sources. 18 of the endangered fish preyed on arthropods, whereas only 6 species consumed bacillariophyta. To characterize the feeding groups of the 20 fish species, a hierarchical clustering analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis were conducted. The fish species were divided into two groups: 1) insectivores and 2) planktivores. A network analysis, which associated the link between endangered fishes and food sources, also revealed the same two groups. The highest hub score of food sources was for macroinvertebrates, including diptera (0.47), ephemeroptera (0.42), and trichoptera (0.38), based on the network analysis. Niche breadth was used to calculate the diversity of the food sources. Phoxinus phoxinus (0.57) showed thehighest food source diversity among the fish species, whereas Iksookimia pacifica (0.01) showed the lowest. This study will be utilized for the conservation and restoration of the endangered fish species.

Since 2004, Asiatic Black Bear of the Jirisan National Park is subjected to the restoration project through the re-introduction by the Maritime Province of Siberia in Russia, North Korea, Northeastern part of China and Seoul Grand Park. The purpose of this study is to analyze diets with scat to identify Asiatic Black Bear's feeding habit and eating resources environment in the Jirisan National Park. 78 scats of Asiatic Black Bears were observed during the field studies of radio telemetry-marked bears and by chance in the Jrisan National Park, from 2005 to 2013. The relative frequency of occurrence demonstrated that the plants comprised the highest with 77%, followed by insects with 12.8%, mammals with 5.6%, birds with 0.5%, arthropoda with 0.5%, and others with 3.6%. Also, 52 scats among the collected scats that were measured for the ratio of food were subjected to dry weight, and plants were the highest with 91.2%, followed by mammals with 3.6%, insects with 1.0% and others with 4.2% in the order mentioned. Asiatic Black Bear's feed research demonstrated that the Asiatic Black Bear at Jirisan is omnivorous and that the vegetable food is the main feed instead of animal feed.
