Tremex fuscicornis (Siricidae), known as the xylophagous horntail, and Leucospis japonica (Leucospidae), known as the parasitoid wasp, are wood-boring wasps belonging to the order Hymenoptera. These insects are interesting sources of biological inspiration for the development of drilling mechanisms. To study the biomimicry aspects, the morphological characters of the ovipositor of T. fuscicornis and L. japonica were analyzed using a stereoscopic microscope, a field emission scanning electron microscope, and an optical microscope. There were many differences in the ovipositors between the two species, such as shape, length, surface structure, and arrangement of the teeth. Evenly arranged teeth were developed at the tip of both the dorsal valve and the ventral valve of the ovipositor of T. fuscicornis and looked like a rotating drill bit. In contrast, in L. japonica, the teeth, which looked like a saw, were found only on the ventral valve. Moreover, the tip of the ovipositor of T. fuscicornis was symmetrically divided into four parts, while that of L. japonica was divided into three parts having a 2:1:1 ratio. However, in the case of T. fuscicornis, after the 14th tooth, four parts melded into three parts maintaining a 2:1:1 ratio, and a dovetail joint was found on the horizontal cross-section of the ovipositor that allowed vertical movement for making a hole. These morphological differences of the ovipositor may be due to the insects' lifestyles and phylogenetic distance. Finally, zinc was commonly found at the tip of the ovipositors of both species, a probable result of ecological adaptation created by drilling wood.

Game theory is mathematical analysis developed to study involved in making decisions. In 1928, Von Neumann proved that every two-person, zero-sum game with finitely many pure strategies for each player is deterministic. As well, in the early 50's, Nash presented another concept as the basis for a generalization of Von Neumann's theorem. Another central achievement of game theory is the introduction of evolutionary game theory, by which agents can play optimal strategies in the absence of rationality. Not the rationality but through the process of Darwinian selection, a population of agents can evolve to an Evolutionary Stable Strategy (ESS) introduced by Maynard Smith. Keeping pace with these game theoretical studies, the first computer simulation of co-evolution was tried out by Hillis in 1991. Moreover, Kauffman proposed NK model to analyze co-evolutionary dynamics between different species. He showed how co-evolutionary phenomenon reaches static states and that these states are Nash equilibrium or ESS introduced in game theory. Since the studies about co-evolutionary phenomenon were started, however many other researchers have developed co-evolutionary algorithms, in this paper we propose Game theory based Co-Evolutionary Algorithm (GCEA) and confirm that this algorithm can be a solution of evolutionary problems by searching the ESS.To evaluate newly designed GCEA approach, we solve several test Multi-objective Optimization Problems (MOPs). From the results of these evaluations, we confirm that evolutionary game can be embodied by co-evolutionary algorithm and analyze optimization performance of GCEA by comparing experimental results using GCEA with the results using other evolutionary optimization algorithms.

This study analyzes the characteristics of the evolution process of the Gumi National Industrial Complex as well as its external and internal drivers based on the cluster adaptation cycle model. The Gumi National Industrial Complex has made remarkable progress through expansion in spatial and industrial realm and has become a representative IT industry cluster in Korea. It evolved during a growth period from the 1990s, a maturity period from the mid-2000s, and a mature stagnation period from the mid-2010s. But it has now entered a period of decline. While external drivers at the international and national level greatly influenced the Gumi National Industrial Complex in its evolution from foundation-building to maturity, internal drivers such as the outflow of large firms as well as a lack of SME research capacity and institutional base have added to the management difficulties of SMEs in the mature stagnation period. Therefore, in order for the Gumi National Industrial Complex to move into a revitalization period that strengthens resilience against external shocks, it is necessary to enhance the capacity of SMEs by expanding the roles of the central government, local government, and support agencies. In addition, it is necessary to create and embed strong medium enterprises within the Gumi National Industrial Complex, so that the Complex can be reborn as a sustainable innovation ecosystem.

지구규모의 대기-지표-생물권(Atmo-Geo-Bio-Sphere)간의 끊임없는 상호작용(Interaction)의 피드백(Feedback)의 결과로 야기되는 기상변화는 아직도 이해를 위한 우리의 노력이 더욱 요구되고 있는 자연현상이다. 지구상의 모든 생물은 궁극적으로는 환경변화에 순응하여 생태계의 안정을 유지하는 방향으로 진화할 것이므로 생물자원의 관리분야라 할 수 있는 농업생산도 결국 기상자원의 변화에 효율적으로 적응하기 위한 인간활동인 것이다. 최근 빈발하고 있는 세계적인 이상기상의 출현은 일시적인 현상이 아니라 과도한 인간활동에서 야기된 대기질의 악화에 기인하는 비가역적이고 비선형적인 현상이라는데 불확실성과 심각성이 매우 크다. 지구상의 모든 농업생태계는 기상의 영향을 크게 받을 뿐만 아니라 반대로 기상에 커다란 영향을 미치는 중요한 생물권의 일부로 인식되고 있다. 농업활동의 결과는 항상 크던 작던 간에 대기조성에 영향을 미치게 되고 이는 다시 상호작용과 피드백에 의해 기상과 기후를 변화시키는 동인이 될 수 있다. 지구환경변화와 농업과의 관계는 지금까지는 주로 "기후변화가 농업생산에 미치는 영향"에 대한 접근방법을 택하여 왔다. 여기에서는 이와는 달리 "농업활동이 기후변화와 변동에 미칠 수 있는 가능성과 잠재력"에 대한 접근방법을 이용하여 농업과 기상과의 상호작용과 피드백효과를 새로운 시각에서 조견하고자 하였다. 상호작용 중 먼저 기후학적 변화원인으로 관심대상이 되고 있는 농업생태계의 온실기체 방출과 고정의 측면에서 이와 연관성이 높은 농업활동별로 온실가스의 방출/고정에 미치는 영향을 소개하고, 다음으로 생물지리화학적 및 생물지리물리학적 해석 방법을 검토 소개하였다. 한편 농업활동에 따른 지표면 특성의 변화가 국지기상 변화에 미치는 영향에 대한 검토를 에너지수지와 수분수지 관점에서 소개하였으며, 끝으로 농업활동의 근거지인 농촌지역의 인문사회학적 변화와 농업활동간의 관계, 그리고 이들이 기후변화/변동에 미칠 수 있는 잠재적 영향력을 살펴보았다.수 있는 잠재적 영향력을 살펴보았다.

Integrated pest management system in Korean apple has significantly advanced for last few decades. However harmful effects of pesticides threats the ecosystem services of natural enemies and pollinators. Apple require cross-pollination and Insect pollination with diversity and abundance is one of the keys to profitable apple production in quantity and quality as well. Thus crop protection tools are to be administered in harmony to meet the pest suppression and protection of beneficial organisms such as natural enemies and pollinators. Adding onto the established IPM system, integrated pollinator-pest management (IPPM) concept is proposed as the future direction of apple IPM. For this, ecological enginnering of creating habitats for pollinators, landscape management and agroecosytem diversification as well as selective soft pesticide uses on time guided by pest monitoring and phenologyand targeted delivery are further proposed. Recent shift of agroecosystem from climate change and new pest outbreaks require new paradigm of pest management for sustainable agricultural production.

As climate change is expected to lead to a severe reduction of biodiversity, studies to investigate the reasons for habitat loss, growth decline, and death of Korean fir (Abies koreana Wilson), endangered alpine/subalpine species in Korea, have been conducted for years but found no clear answer yet. This study reviewed previous studies on Korean fir published in the journals in the past 40 years, 1980 through 2020, into 10-year units, examined the study trend by period, region, and subject with a focus on ecological studies, and analyzed the study results. The ecological studies were categorized into evolutionary ecology, physiological ecology, population ecology, and landscape ecology. Based on the results, we suggested the required research fields in the future. We found a total of 73 papers published in the past 40 years and 48 (65.8%) of them published in the past 10 years. In terms of region, Mt. Halla accounted for the most as 41 papers were on it. In terms of ecological subjects, the physiological ecology accounted for the most with 38, and the evolutionary ecology accounted for the least with 10. The review of the study results showed that many studies identified water stress caused by the water resource imbalance due to temperature increase and spring precipitation reduction following climate change as the main reason for the decline and habitat loss of Korean fir. However, recent studies suggested other factors, such as soil environment, disturbing organisms, and climatic events. The cause of the decline and death of the Korean fir not yet being clearly identified is that most of the studies dealt with the basic content, were carried out intermittently, and were concentrated in some regions. Therefore, we need long-term studies with advanced technology in each study subject at a local scale to find the cause of Korean fir decline and present sustainable management and conservation. Moreover, it is necessary to extend our study subjects to ecosystem ecology and systems ecology to integrate the results from various study subjects for a comprehensive understanding of the reason for Korean fir declines. The results of comprehensive studies could provide clearer answers for Korean fir's declines and the alternatives of conservation management and practices.

This research aimed to find out the homeostatic temperature when there are various organisms. Also, this studies on the impacts the variety of organisms would make on the ecosystem when a species or a number of the species drastically decreases. For this, a new 'Daisyworld' was made. It had a greater variety of plants; and animals and microorganisms were added. This model had a circular ecosystem. It showed the temperature is well maintained when there are various organisms and that the restoration is faster when there are changes in the ecosystem.
