  • Heavy metal treatment on the fertilized frog eggs before the first cleavage results in a quantitative alteration in the number of PGCs. The formation of PGCs is inhibited by a limited range of heavy metal during the early embryonic development. Total doses of lead above 70ppm and doses of cadmium above 4ppm result in a partial reduction of germ cells at the mitotically dormant stage. After this stage the germ cell number increases almost at the same rate as the untreated control tadpoles. In contrast, on mercury treated eggs, total doses above 0.8ppm cause more damage to germ cell formation. Their proliferation rate thereafter seems to be lower compared with the others. These facts seem to suggest that the heavy metal treatment on frog eggs prior to the first cleavage division is not highly effective in the complete elimination of PGCs in constrast with UV irradiation, even though cytolysis of the tissue occurs in the tadpoles.

  • 양서류 오종 Bombina orientalis , Cacopoides borealis , Bufo bufo asiaticus, Rana nigromaculata nigromaculata, Rana rugosa 의 혈청단백질을 Paper electrophoresis 의 방법으로 분석비교하였다. 그 결과 Bombina orientalis 의 혈청단백질은 인간의 것과 마찬가지로 5개의 protein fraction으로 나누어지고 그중 fraction III 단백지링 가장 많은 함량을 구성하며 peak 가 가장 높다. Cacopoides borealis 와 Bufo bufo asiaticus 의 혈청단백질은 4개의 protein fraction 으로 나누어지는데 Cacopoides boreealis 에서는 fraction IV protein이 Bufo bufo asiaticus 에서는 fraction I protein 이 가장 많은 함량을 구성하고 있다. Rana nigromaculata nigromacuata 와 Rana rugosa 는 graph 상에 나타난 peak로 보면 상호유사하나 protein fraction 수는 차이가 있다. 그리고 albumin은 전 함량 per centage의 약 반을 차지하고 있다. 즉 종간의 거리가 멀수록 protein fraction 의 차이가 percentage 함량에 있어서 명백하여짐을 암시하여준다.

  • For a few people's leisure, the natural environment have being deteriorated ceaseless. The plan of the Chungchongpuk Province and the Yungdong District in Chungchongpuk-do which drive foreword the sport and leasure complex designed to construct ski slopes, golf course, and resort hotel in 6,000,000 $m^2$ of natural ecosystem around the Mulhan Valley at Mulhan-ri Sangchon-myon Yungdong-kun Chung-chcngbuk-do by Dongsin Leisure have concerned decrease on biological diversity serious. This study carried out by census Amphibia and Reptilia fauna in the Mulhan Valley to expect the impact of animal diversity by construction of leasure complex and to call attention to understand that impact. 8 species in 5 Families of 2 Orders in Amphibia and 5 species in 2 Families of 1 Order in Reptilia were observed in the Mulhan Valley during June 24, 1994 to June 25, 1994 which showed to be similar to the Natural Park in Korea. 4 of 8 species in Amphibia(Hynobius leechii, Onychodactylus fischeri, Bufo bufo gargarizans, and Rana dybowskii) and 3 of 5 species in Reptilia(Eluphe rufodorsata, Dinodon rufodonatum rufodonatum, and Agkistrodon saxatilus) were revealed the Special Wild Animal recorded by the Ministry of Environment in 1993. Therefore, the Minjujisan seems to have highly reason to conservation by these animal diversity. Around the Minjujisan province was significant connecting the Taebaek Mountains and the Sobaek Mountains on biogeographically with Dokyusan National Park. The plan of Leasure complex in the Mulhan Valley should be cancel in consideration of destruction around the Dokyusan National Park severely by the Muju Resort, Ski slopes, etc. The Minjujisan must be conserve to the Zone of Natural Environment on Amphibia and Reptilia diversity and animal migration route.

  • This study was conducted to survey the current pest occurrence and grower's pest management practices, and to investigate biodiversity including birds, snakes, rodents, and amphibians in organic pear orchards. From the questionnaires and field survey of 22 organic orchards in 2010, the materials such as lime sulphur, plant extracts and their mixtures with microorganisms, and oils were preferred over insecticides. Scab, mealybugs, woollybugs and barkminers were the major pests for organic pear growers. Environment-friendly fungicides and insecticides were applied 9 to 10 and 5 to 6 times respectively. Incidence and severity of scab on Niitaka pear fruits in organic orchards was higher than in conventional ones. Whereas for mealybugs there was no significant difference between organic and conventional orchards. Pear fruits in organic orchards were significantly smaller than those of non-organic orchards. For the biodiversity of amphibians, snakes, pheasants, and rodents, there was no significant difference between organic and conventional orchards, but Rufous turtle doves were monitored more in organic areas than in conventional ones.
