This study was carried out at Reed Marsh of Sihwa Lake from July 2003 to June 2004. We observed total(sum of maximum population) 5,752 individuals of 70 species including 12 species of ducks, 10 species of egrets, 6 species of wagtails and buntings, 4 species of eagles. The most dominant species was Spotbill Duck(Anas poecilorhyncha - 3,518 individuals, 61.16%), and other species were Mallard(Anas platyrhynchos - 540 individuals, 9.39%), Great Reed-Warbler(Acrocephalus arundinaceus - 217 individuals, 3.77%). Reed Marsh of Sihwa Lake were observed many kinds of protected species such as Great Bittern(Botaurus stellaris), Mandarin Duck(Aix galericulata), Chinese Sparrow Hawk (Accipiter soloensis), Eurasian Sparrow Hawk(Accipiter nisus), Japanese Buzzard(Buteo buteo), Hen Harrier(Circus cyaneus), Eurasian Hobby(Falco subbuteo), and Common Kestrel(Falco tinnunculus). Since the Reed Marsh of Sihwa Lake arrived many individuals of waterbird, crop damage by the waterbird occurred in the surrounding rice fields. It was an area adjacent to the reed marsh of sihwa lake such as Yoopori and Samhwari Bibongmyoun, Yamokri Maesongmyoun Hwaseong City. Bird of crop damage was ducks openly. The most species was Spot-billed Duck. Crop damage types by the Spot-billed Duck were grazing, used the grain up or lower in quality with step on the rice. Crop damage size was about 560bags of rice during the one month on August 2002. In 2003, After carrying out the various crop damage reduction countermeasures, which measured crop damage size in 2002's crop damage area. It happened about 152bags of rice during the two months from on August to September 2003. Migration routes of Spot-billed Duck were that it was migrated from up the sihwa lake to reed marsh. It took a rest at reed marsh and migrated the surrounding rice fields for the feeding action. In 2002, it was migrated direct from up the sihwa lake to in surrounding rice fields. But as environment of reed marsh was improved better than 2002, it was migrated to reed marsh because of reducing the energy attrition rate. Crop damage reduction countermeasures are get on ears to use explosion machine, searchlight, start-gun and patrol at regular intervals. Which was an effect short term. Indirect method is to make a feeding area of substitution at up the sihwa lake and reed marsh of sihwa lake.

The subject is to find green roofs' location as stepping stones in green-network in fine scale. The study site is Junggu, Seoul, which has core areas(Bukaksan and Namsan) and green areas(parks, etc.). Through literature review, the closer to core areas and green areas, target species reach green roof easier, and target species must be avifauna(flying species) and high class in food chain, because of possibility of reaching. So, Great Tits, inhabited in Namsan and urban bird, is target species. The location standard of green roofs, realized birds' reaching distance, consists of home range(horizontal range and vertical range) and roof-greening capable area. The green roofs' distribution of location was resulted through GIS analysis of feasible site finding, and classified with weight of score. In discussion, Namsan gives more effect to locate green roofs than Bukaksan does and selected buildings which are grouped in some parts need to be managed with group, green roof district.

Bird strike accidents, a collision between aircraft and birds, have been increasing annually due to an increasing number of aircraft operating each year to meet heavier demand for air traffic. As such, many airports have conducted studies to assess and manage bird strike risks effectively by identifying and ranking bird species that can damage aircraft based on the bird strike records. This study was intended to investigate the bird species that were likely to threaten aircraft and compare and discuss the risk of each species estimated by the single-matrix and multi-matrix risk assessment models based on the Integrated Flight Information Service (IFIS) data collected in Gimpo, Gimhae and Jeju Airports in South Korea from 2005 to 2013. We found that there was a difference in the assessment results between the two models. The single-matrix model estimated 2 species and 6 taxa in Gimpo and Gimhae Airports and 2 species and 5 taxa in Jeju Airport to have the risk score above "high," whereas the multi-matrix model estimated 3 species and 5 taxa in Gimpo Airport, 4 species and 5 taxa in Gimhae Airport, and 2 species and 3 taxa in Jeju Airport to have the risk score above "very high." Although both models estimated the similar high-risk species in Gimpo and Gimhae Airports, there was a significant difference in Jeju Airport. Gimpo and Gimhae Airports are near the estuary of a river, which is an excellent habitat for large and heavy waterbirds. On the other hand, Jeju Airport is near the coast and the city center, and small and light bird species are mostly observed. Since collisions with such species have little effect on aircraft fuselage, the impact of common variables between the two models was small, and the additional variables caused a significant difference between the estimation by the two models.

우리나라의 대표 생태계 교란 외래어종인 배스와 블루길은 본래 식용 목적으로 유입되어 하천에서 빠르게 확산되고 있다. 그로 인해 우리나라 토종 어류의 개체수가 감소하고 토종 어류의 서식지가 사라지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 배스와 블루길을 대상으로 여러 환경적 요인에 따른 서식처 형성 특징을 관찰하고 분석하여 최종적으로 외래어종의 확산을 차단하는 것을 목적으로 수행하였다. 실험실 연구를 통해 외래어종이 서식처를 형성할 때 주변 환경을 관찰한 결과 특정 반응에 민감하고 장애물과 같은 지형적 요소를 선호하는 행동 특성을 발견하였다. 이에 따라 발견된 특성을 중점으로 하여 지형인자와 조명에 관련된 실험실 연구를 진행하고 분석하였다. 연구를 수행하기 위해 자연 상태에서 채집한 배스와 블루길을 길이 12 m, 깊이 0.6 m, 폭 1 m의 하천과 유사한 자연적 환경이 갖추어진 수조에 이식하였다. 첫 번째로 장애물에 대한 반응 실험은 세 가지 종류의 장애물을 환경 조건이 동일한 수조에 설치하여 어떤 장애물을 더 선호하는지를 관찰하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 그 결과 외래어종은 어류의 위쪽 시야를 차단하는 즉, 상단 벽 장애물을 가장 선호하였으며 이 장애물 밑에 주로 서식처를 형성하였다. 그 이유로는 자연 상태의 외래어종에게는 조류가 가장 큰 천적이므로 조류를 경계하는 습성에 의한 서식처 형성으로 판단된다. 또한 외래어종이 서식처를 형성할 때 크게 고려하는 수온과 장애물 중 어떤 독립변인에 더 민감하게 반응하는지도 관찰되었다. 실험은 춘계에 먼저 수온의 차이를 두어 외래어종이 서식처를 형성하게 만든 후, 서식처로 자리 잡지 않은 곳에 장애물을 설치하여 형성된 서식처를 옮기는지 지켜보았다. 그 결과 앞선 연구로 발견된 외래어종의 서식처 형성에 적당한 수온 $20{\sim}24^{\circ}C$가 아니어도 장애물이 설치된 곳 밑에 서식처를 형성하는 것을 발견하였다. 두 번째로 조명에 관한 실험에서는 외래어종이 수조 전체에 설치된 상단 조명의 아래에는 위치하지 않았으며, 외래어종이 자리 잡은 서식처에 간이 조명을 설치하여 비추거나 하면 피하는 특성을 보였다. 하지만 실험실이 아닌 실제 하천의 환경은 매우 다양한 변수를 포함하고 있어 실험실 수조와의 환경과는 다른 양상을 보일 수 있다. 이와 같은 실제 생태계와 실험실 수조의 환경 차이에서 오는 불확실성에 대한 개선을 위해 실험실에서 진행된 실험 결과를 바탕으로 향후 외래어종의 서식 환경 특성을 고려한 외래어종 확산 차단물을 설계하여 실제 자연 환경에서 외래어종이 어떻게 반응하는지에 관한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A field experiment was carried out for fishes on entering time to a set-net, swimming speed, current speed and direction at the Dongbok-Ri coast on Cheju Island. The results of the experiment are as follows : 1. The observation results from 07:00 to 18:00 showed that coral fish, flying fish, horse mackerel, drub mackerel and striped mullet enter the set-net from 07:00 to 14:00 mainly. 2. From the result of analyzing relationships between entering time and tide, coral fish and horse mackerel tend to enter the set-net on turn of tidal current and ebb respectively. 3. The leaving rates of coral fish, flying fish, drub mackerel, and striped mullet from the set-net were 13%, 45%, 50%, and 100%, respectively but all horse mackerel remained in the net. 4. The swimming speed of coral fish, flying fish, horse mackerel and drub mackerel are 5~25cm/sec, 20~50cm/sec, 15~45cm/sec and 10~30cm/sec, respectively and their dominant speeds are 10~15cm/sec(55%), 30~35cm/sec(30%), 30~40cm/sec(60%), and 15~20cm/sec(60%), respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the avifauna and to suggest the management discipline for the protection of bird community in Odaesan National Park. Field survey was carried over 2 main trails by line transect method from mid June to early December in 1996. The 1st section included the area from Woljongas to Sangwonsa 7km distance. The 2nd section survey started from Sangwonsa via Bukdaesa and the summit of Odaesan to Sangwonsa 9.8 km distance. The study results were as follows ; The observed birds belonged to 9 orders 22families 52species, they also had Black Woodpecker(Dryocopus martius)designated as natural monument No. 242, Chinese Sparrow Hawk(Accipiter soloensis) and Kestrel(Falco tinnunculus) as natural munumet No. 323, Scops Owl(Out scops)and Korean Wood Owl(Strix aluco) as No. 324. These birds also were classified into 25 species for residents, 16 species for summer visitors, 8 species for passage migrants, 3 species for winter visitors, respectionely. The 2nd section showed a high species richness and individuals in every season, however, had a difference in species composition with 1st section. Nesting guild of breeding bird community used highly in order of bush, hole, and canopy as a nest resources. It is suggested that high bush-nesting guild had a deep relationship with bush layer located in the ecotone of 1st section and that located in the high elevated zone in 2nd section. Hole-nesting guild such as Black Woodpecker(Dryocopus martius), Gray-headed Woodpecker(Picus canus) and Great Spotted Woodpecker(Dendrocopos major) were surveyed only in 2nd section, so it could be attribute to the small fragmentation and the growing of high diameter at breast height(D.B.H) tree in 2nd section. It is urgent that the management of camping ground and people for the conservation of brook in 1nd section, trail protection for the prevention from trail enlargement in 2nd section for the bird protection. Artificial food in snowy winter will provide the good breeding condition with the residents and migrants. And, the endeavor to lessen the habitat fragmentation will be beneficial to the birds who have a large home range such as Black Woodpecker(Dryocopus martius) and Korean Wood Owl(Strix aluco). For the control of Domestic Dove(Columba livia) populations, it could be recommended that the elimination of their nesting resources by net.

During incubation, pelagic seabirds undergo large variations in their body mass as a result of concomitant fasting. In Procellariifomes undergoing important changes in body mass through the incubation, body mass regulation could be an important factor in behavioural decisions for changing activities during the incubation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of individuals' quality and incubation behaviour on their body mass regulation in Streaked Shearwaters Calonectris leucomelas breeding at Sasudo Island, in Jeju, South Korea during incubation period, June to August in 2013. In our results, we found that there was no relationship between the daily body mass loss and body size or condition of Streaked Shearwaters. However, the daily body mass loss increased significantly as the incubation bout increased. Moreover, the daily incubation bout was positively related to their body size. Consequently, although breeders' qualities were not related to their daily body mass loss during the incubation, the incubation behaviour affecting their daily body mass loss was regulated by their body size. Therefore, the body size of Streaked Shearwater breeders is one of important factors in their decisions for the incubation behaviour.

It is well documented that physiological and nutritional condition of wintering birds is strongly related to migration success to breeding sites, and also breeding success. However, how abiotic factors during winter affect the migration and breeding successes still remains unclear. Thus, this study developed a dynamic-state-dependent model for wintering life-history to identify the potential impact on the life-history, success to breeding site and breeding success of wintering birds, which are related to temperature fluctuation, interspecific competition and human disturbance at the wintering sites. To find the best-fit-model, we referred to the existing research data on wintering ecology of Red-crowned cranes (Grus japonensis) in Cheolwon, Korea, which is well documented as a long-term wintering study. Our model predicted that the higher temperature fluctuation and a higher rate of human disturbance are negatively related to migration success to breeding sites and their fitness, ultimately breeding success via changing of proportion in resource allocation (for e. g., lower energy compensation or higher level of stress accumulation). Particularly, the rate of body mass compensation after arrival at wintering sites may be accelerated when there are less temperature fluctuations and a lower rate of human disturbance. In addition, the rate of interspecific competition sharing the wintering foraging sites is negatively related to the rate of body mass compensation. Consequently, we discussed the conservation strategies of wintering birds based on the outcomes of the model.

This study surveyed the knowledge level, self-efficacy, seriousness in infection, and behavioral intention for H1N1 targeting some undergraduates for the Health Division who are attending university where is located in Metropolitan Area, and surveyed the difference according 10 gender. As a result, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. As for knowledge on H1N1, the highest correct-answer rate was shown in the item as saying that 'New influenza may be possible for person-to-person infection(94.6%).' The item as saying that 'New influenza is what is same as avian influenza(16.3%)' showed the lowest correct-answer rate. The knowledge of H1N1 was indicated to be averagely 7.8 points given making it score. 2. As for self-efficacy on H1N1 according to gender male students were shown to be higher than female students. Thus, there was significant difference(P < 0.05). As for seriousness about infection, female students were indicated 10 think it more serious about infection with H1N1 than male students. Thus, there was significant difference(P < 0.01). As for behavioral intention, the response as saying at 'When an acquaintance is attacked by new influenza, I will try to consider meeting' was indicated to be higher in female students with 3.98 points than male students with 3.79 points. Thus, there was significant difference(P < 0.05).
