The subfamily Dynastinae generally exhibits strong dimorphism among males. However, until recently, studies on dimorphism and allometry were limited to horns. Lycomedes is a neotropic genus that belongs to the subfamily Dynastinae and is restricted to the Andean region of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Among the Colombian Lycomedes species, this study focuses on the L. reichei and allied species, which have been designated here as the L. reichei species group, that displays a dramatic allometry. Here, various morphological characteristics of the L. reichei species group were analyzed and an allometry was proven.

Allometry and basal area equations were developed with various tree measurement variables for the major species; Quercus variabilis, Quercus mongolica, Pinus koraiensis and Larix leptolepis in Korea. For allometry models, the relationships between total height-DBH, crown width-DBH, height to the widest portion of the crown-total height, and height to base of crown-total height were investigated. Multiple regression methods were used to relate annual basal area growth to tree variables of initial size (DBH, total height, and crown width), relative size (relative diameter and relative height) as well as competition measures (competition index, crown class, and live crown ratio).

Allometry, basal area equations, and volume equations were developed with various tree measurement variables for the major species, Quercus mongolica and Quercus variabilis, in Korean natural hardwood forests. For allometry models, the relationships between total height-DBH, crown width-DBH, height to the widest portion of the crown-total height, and height to base of crown-total height were investigated. Multiple regression methods were used to relate annual basal area growth to tree variables of initial size (DBH, total height, crown width) and relative size (relative diameter, relative height) as well as competition measures (competition index, crown class, exposed crown area, percent exposed crown area, live crown ratio). For tree volume equations, the combined-variable and Schumacher models were fitted with DBH, total height and crown width for both species.

The growth of Korean axolotl., Hynobius leechii, was analyzed in natural water as control group and in six copper ion groups contaminated by 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 ppm of copper ion. The copper ion checks the growth of the axolotl. The axolotl was not survived during 30 days in the copper ion of 0.3ppm, and, in the 0.4ppm the axolotl was not survived during 10 days after hatch. The growth of head width and body length show a convexing increase pattern, while that of hind leg shows a concaving increase pattern. The copper ion checks the development of hind leg. In the growth quantity of head width, body length and hid leg, that of natural water show the most rapid increase pattern, and copper ion groups of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3ppm follow in that order. The coefficient of relative growth($\alpha$) of control group is the greater value, and the copper ion groups of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3ppm follow in that order. The contaminated groups show the negative allometry in the relative growth of the containated groups to the natural water. Body length shows positive allometry, while hind leg shows negative allometry in the relative growth to head width.

도시화는 전 세계적인 현상이며 우리나라 역시 급속한 도시화를 경험하고 있다. 도시와 관련된 공간의사결정과정에서 미래의 도시형태를 객관적인 모델에 의해 예측하는 것은 토지의 효율적인 이용을 추구한다는 점에서 대단히 의미있는 일일 것이다. 본 연구에서는 도시인구와 도시면적사이의 생장생장이론에 기초하여 도시성장모델을 개발하였다. 모델의 입력데이터는 수치지도를 비롯한 공간데이터를 처리하여 생성하였으며, 래스터 GIS분석기법을 이용하여 정확도를 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과물인 도시성장예측데이터는 물리적인 측면만을 이용해 제작되었으므로 사회ㆍ경제ㆍ정치적인 면까지를 고려하여 결정될 미래의 공간의사결정과정에서 기초데이터로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Height growth models for Pinus thunbergii in Jeju Island were developed in this study using four widely used nonlinear growth models; Exponential, Modified Logistic, Chapman-Richards, and Weibull. All functions were found to be significant at the 1% level. Chapman-Richards model for height-DBH allometry and Weibull model for height-age allometry was chosen as the best model on the all validation. All the model curves showed the similar pattern. Additionally, there was no abnormal pattern when the previous studies were compared. Therefore, these models are highly expected to be used to estimate the tree height using DBH or age for Pinus thunbergii especially in Jeju Island.

Length-weight relationships (LWR) for 27 fish species inhabit Southern sea in Korea were investigated to describe several biological characters. Total 7,399 individuals were collected by R/V Tamgu-20 using bottom trawl between 2018 to 2019 and were identified as 19 families and 27 species. Parameter b ranged from 2.414 to 3.472. Thirteen species among 27 species showed isometric growth (b=3), six species showed negative allometry (b<3) and eight species showed positive allometry (b>3). The results of this study provide useful basic biological information about 27 fishes and are highly reliable due to use of data measured directly.

The author hatched the eggs of Korean frog, Rana nigromaculata in natural water, and reared the tadpoles in natural water as control group and in seven copper ion groups contaminated by 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 ppm of copper ion. The influences of copper ion on the growth of the tadpoles were analyzed, and the results were summarized as follows: 1) The copper ion inhibited the growth of the tadpole. 2) The tadpoles were not survived for 20 days in the copper ion of 0.4~0.5ppm, and in the 0.7ppm, the tadpoles were not survived for 1 day after hatch. 3) The critical lethal concentration of Korean tadpole is regarded as 0.6ppm of copper ion. 4) The growth of head with and body length show a convexin increase pattern. 5) In the growth quantity of head width and body length, that of natural water shows the most rapid increase pattern, and that of the copper ion groups 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3ppm follows in that order. 6) The coefficient of relative growth($\alpha$) of control group is the greatest value, and that of the copper ion groups of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3ppm follows in that order. The natural water shows the positive allometry, the contaminated groups shows the negative allometry in the relative growth of the contaminated groups to the natural water. 7) Body length shows positive allometry in the relative growth to head width.

경기도 양평 지역에 생육하고 있는 리기다소나무, 낙엽송, 졸참나무 임분의 지상 부위 생체량과 엽면적을 추정하기 위해 흉고직경, 흉고단면적, 변재단면적, 변재부피 등의 변수를 이용하는 회귀식을 조제하였다. 지상 부위 생체량과 엽면적은 흉고직경, 흉고단면적, 변재단면적, 변재부피 등과 각각 통계적으로 유의한 상관 관계를 보였으며, 비슷한 직경급에서 3수종 모두 유사한 수간목부 생체량을 보였다. 그러나 수피, 잎, 가지와 지상 부위 총생체량과, 단위건중량당 엽면적 그리고 엽면적 변재단면적의 비에 있어 수종 간 차이가 뚜렷하였다. 생체량과 엽면적 추정을 위한 회귀식은 대상 수중의 잎의 습성과 수병에 영향을 받는 것으로 보이며, 이들 영향을 보다 확실하게 구명하치 위해서 상세한 연구가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

The ocypodid crab, Macrophthalmus japonicus, commonly occurs in tidal flats in areas around Korea. We examined the age and growth of M. japonicus collected from the tidal flats of Haui Island in Jeollanamdo, Korea, from January to December 2006. According to variation in the monthly fatness index, the population spawned from June to August. To estimate parameters of growth, frequencies of monthly carapace lengths were analyzed using FiSAT II. The allometry of females differed from that of males. VBGE(von Bertalanffy growth equation) and seasonal VBGE were determined using monthly average carapace lengths for males and females, and an equation for estimating seasonal growth was calculated using regression coefficients.
