With the continuous expansion of highway network and its traffics, neighboring wildlife habitats are splitted into smaller and more isolated patches. The infrastructures contribute to the wildlife-vehicle collision by creating barriers to animal movement. This kinds of traffic accidents are dangerous factors to the drivers' safety and the facilities on the highway as well as to the wildlife themselves. One of the most common ways to prevent habitat fragmentation are fauna crossings and fences. The cost of the mitigation measures to prevent wildlife-vehicle collision could be monetized. However their economic benefits are difficult to be measured. Using contingent valuation method, this study tries to estimate the economic valuation of wildlife collision prevention projects on the Korean highways. The result shows that 43.88% of Korean household had the positive willingness pay to the projects. Moreover, we found that the recognition of the project or the favourable attitude to the environmental issues could raise the willingness-to-pay. Therefore, active public relation on the project could make the friendly public opinion and increase the number of the household which has the positive willingness-to-pay on the project.

소의 생산성 향상을 위해서는 번식효율의 증진과 개체의 유전능력을 충분히 발휘할 수 있도록 적절한 사양관리를 실시하여야 한다. 특히 번식관리는 발정관찰로부터 출발하며 발정관찰의 원활한 수행이 없이는 좋은 번식성적을 기대할 수 없다. 그러나 발정관찰은 많은 시간과 노동력이 요구되며 이로 인하여 발정관찰방법과 보조기구가 개발되어 시판되고 있다. 본 연구는 발정관찰의 편리성과 정확성을 개선하고자 (주)한경게놈텍에서 개발한 무인발정관리시스템(HMS)을 활용하여 발정발현양상을 분석하였다. 실험에 공시된 시험축은 안성인근 지역에서 사육되는 35두의 홀스타인 경산우를 선발하였으며, 발정주기에 관계없이 무작위로 선발하여 미근부에 감지센서를 부착하고 감지시간을 0.1초 이상으로 설정하여 매직닥터를 설치하였다. 발정감지횟수와 감지시간의 분석은 승가허용 감지시간이 0.5초 이상인 것만을 승가허용으로 간주하고 분석하였다.

This study aimed to investigate changes in benthic macroinvertebrate communities caused by erosion control dams using data obtained from three erosion control dams in Wonju, Gangwon Province, before and after the rainy season. Surveys were conducted four times from March to September 2019, and survey points were continuously selected during the installation of closed-type and open-type dams. A total of eight points from the upstream and downstream regions of each dam type were selected. The flow velocity of both the closed and open types increased, but the closed type exhibited a relatively higher flow velocity than the open type. Benthic macroinvertebrate species and individuals mostly decreased after the rainy season. A relatively large number of species and individuals were found upstream of the closed-type dam. An analysis of the ephemeroptera-plecoptera-trichoptera groups showed relatively reduced ephemeroptera in the closed-type dam and reduced trichoptera in the open-type dam. The periods before and after the rainy season could be divided based on the results of a similarity analysis. The open type showed relatively minimal changes before and after the rainy season.

Striped filed mice from Jeju-Do (Apodemus agrarius chejuensis) were used for morphometric and chromosomal studies in order to compare them with striped field mice from the korean peninsula (A. Agrarius coreae). It was found that A.agrarius chejuensis and A. agrarius coreae are similar in karyotypes and it was confirmed that the former is a large-size group and the latter is a small-size group.

The patterns of serum proteins in seven species of Korean rodents were analyzed by immunoprecipitin, immunodiffusion, and immunoelectrophoresis. It is found that the serum proteins of each species were different with one another and thatntigenic divergence among the seven species seems to be enormous , ie., serological correspondence ranged from 99.6 in Rattus norvegicus caraco(suborder Myomorpha) to 2.7 in Tamias sibircus asiaticus (suborder sciuromorpha). In the six species of the family Muridae (Suborder Myomorpha), the lowest value of 8.2 was shown in Clethrionmys rufocanus regulus (Subfamily Microtinae).

Some preliminary studies were conducted to find out whether the levee-burning could justifiable for the suppression of insect pests, particularly the smaller brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus F.). Density surveys on pests and their enemies (mostly spiders) were carried out upto the mid May at an experimental paddy field located in Suwon after of it's levee $(72\times1m)$ was burned on Feb. 20, 1987. Results were discussed in relation to density recovering of both pests and their possible enemies (spiders) and summarized as below. Not a single individual of any pest or enemy was found from the levee upto sometime after the levee-burning. Grasses started to grow more vigorously in burned ares than in unburned upto about 60 days after the burning. And densities of both pest and enemies grew higher in burned areas than in unburned from about 75 days after the burning (in Early may). It is suspected that all individuals of pests and enemies fond from the burned areas could have immigrated from the surrounding areas. If levee-burning was carried out in much wider areas, much longer time would be needed to recover the density of both pests and enemies to the center region of the burning. Wingless spiders would require even longer time than winged pest species to re-establish in the center region of the widely burned field. Pirata subpiraticus, the most abundant spider species in Korean paddy fields, starts to move about and searches for food at above $9^{\circ}C$ which is somewhat lower than the critical temperature for the pest species. Thus P. subpiraticus would require more food than other pest species early in the spring, and therefore, it would have lower probability to survive than pest species particularly in burned areas. Experiments for pest suppression with levee-burning would better be carried on in much wider areas, and its justification seems to be discussed after man other disciplines related to both pests and their natural enemies were throughly studied together with their density surveys. However, according to the present point of vie, the opinion that levee-burning is helpful for controlling pests which over winter on levee areas could not be justifiable.

This paper contains the implementation and performance evaluation results of a system that collects environmental data at the time when the wild animal intrusion occurred at farms and then predicts future wild animal intrusions through a machine learning-based Vector Autoregression(VAR) model. To collect the data for intrusion prediction, an IoT-based hardware prototype was developed, which was installed on a small farm located near the school and simulated over a long period to generate intrusion events. The intrusion prediction service based on the implemented VAR model provides the date and time when intrusion is likely to occur over the next 30 days. In addition, the proposed system includes the function of providing real-time notifications to the farmers mobile device when wild animals intrusion occurs in the farm, and performance evaluation was conducted to confirm that the average response time was 7.89 seconds.
