  • 본 연구에서는 horizontal clinostat과 원심분리 방법의 이용으로 각각 저중력 상태($\mu$G)와 고중력 상태(3G)를 유도하여, 중력장의 변화가 양서류 수정란의 초기 형태 형성에 미치는 영향을 북방산개구리(Rano dybows비름를 대상으로 조사하였다. 중력장의 변화는 첫번째 수평 분열인 제3분열면의 위치에 영향을 미쳤다. 즉 저중력 상태에서는 분열면이 적도면 근처에서, 또 고중력 상태에서는 분열면이 동물극 근처에서 형성되었다. 이와 같은 변화는 포배기로 이어져 할강의 위치와 동물극 정단 세포층 수에 영향을 미쳤다. 즉 저중력에 노출된 포배는 정상배(1G)에 비해 할강이 중앙에 위치했으며 동물극 정단의 세포층 수가 증가하는 반면 고중력에 노출된 포배는 할강이 보다 동물극 폭에 위치했으며 동물극 정단의 세포층 수도 감소하였다. 그러나 낭배기에 도달하면 동물극 정단 세포층 수의 차이는 정상 상태로 조절되었다. 한편 중력장의 변화는 낭배기에 이르는 발생 속도와 원구상순부의 위치를 변경시켰다. 낭배기 이후의 발생 단계에서 중력에 의한 변화로는 tail fin circulation(stage 22)시기의 머리크기의 변화를 들 수 있다. 이상의 결과로 무미 양서류의 초기 형태 형성은 중력장에 의해 변형될 수 있으며 이러한 변화는 발생이 진행됨에 따라 조절되는 것으로 보인다.

  • Paddy wetlands are a critical habitat for a variety of wild animals, and their rapid development and environmental changes pose a threat to the conservation of agrobiodiversity. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the habitat characteristics of anuran inhabiting paddy wetlands and identify major environmental variables affecting their distributions. The study was conducted in the Daeho reclaimed area in Dangjin, from March to October 2018. In this study, we found three anuran species (Pelophylax nigromaculatus, Hyla japonica and Pelophylax chosenicus). The environmental factors affecting the three species were identified as air temperature, humidity, water-depth, and micro-habitats. H. japonica were affected by water temperature, and P. chosenicus were affected by rice height and types of farming practices. All the three species richness was correlated with air temperature, humidity, and water-depth positively, and the three species used rice transplanted paddy fields the most. It was also found that paddy is the most preferred of the micro-habitats during the breeding season, so the survey area is considered to be used as the major breeding sites for the three species. P. chosenicus were more observed on environmental-friendly paddy fields than conventional paddy fields, which appears to be differences in their surroundings environment caused by predators and weeding. It will be needed to identify their relationship with predators, their preferred food resources and the richness and diversity of wild vegetation around paddy wetlands.

Distribution Characteristics of DEHA, Carbaryl, and Amitrole in the Fishes and Amphibians from the Major River Systems of Korea (우리나라 주요 수계에 서식하는 어류 및 양서류 체내에 함유된 DEHA, Carbaryl, Amitrole의 분포특성)

  • In this study, the levels of DEHA, carbaryl, and amitrole contained in the fresh water fishes and amphibians were determined. The 31 sampling sites were selected including 29 sites along the several rivers and 2 sites from the well-known wet lands. The rivers consists of the Han, Nakdong, Kum, Youngsan, and other small scaled rivers. DEHA was detected from 10 sites, but carbaryl and amitrole were not detected at any sites. The highest average concentration of DEHA was determined from the Kum River by $52.7{\mu}g/kg$. In the detected 10 sites, the average concentration of DEHA from fishes was $40.0{\mu}g/kg$, and that from amphibians was $8.90{\mu}g/kg$ which indicates that 5 times more DEHA was observed from fishes than amphibians. The detection frequency from fishes was 10/62 while that from amphibians was 2/62, and the highest concentration from fishes was $95.5{\mu}g/kg$ (crucians from Kongjoo) and that from amphibians was $12.1{\mu}g/kg$ (bullfrog from Najoo). Among the 10 detected sites, 6 sites were agricultural area and the other 4 sites were semi-urban area.
