현재 세계에 밝혀진 생물종은 160만여 종으로 한국에 밝혀진 자생종은 3만여 종으로 기록되어 있으며, 한국 국립공원 생물종은 1만5천여 종에 이르고 있다. 이 중 한국 국립공원내 멸종위기종은 133종으로 전체 멸종위기종의 60%를 차지하고 있으며, 이들의 보호와 관리를 위해 실질적인 분포와 이들의 서식지 관계에 대한 것을 바탕으로 한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 지리산국립공원 내에 분포하는 동물 개체군을 대상으로 GIS 프로그램을 통해 주요 서식지를 등록하고, 3차원 서식도를 제작함으로써 국립공원에 서식 중인 동물의 보전과 관리를 위한 새로운 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 동식물보호단 동물좌표 파일과 국립공원 경계 폴리곤파일 및 ASTER GDEM 수치표고모델을 이용하여 서식도를 제작하였다. 최신의 지형정보와 서식지정보의 융합을 통해 구축된 새로운 개념의 동물서식도는 향후, 동물의 종별 보호 관리 계획 및 서식지 보호 계획 시 유용한 정보로 활용될 것이다.

This study is based on crane fly specimens collected more than 80 years ago in 1938-1939 and preserved at the United States National Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC, USA. Despite many attempts with a variety of methods, no additional specimens of this genus were captured. This likely means that that this genus is extinct on the Korean Peninsula, or its distribution is restricted to the northern areas of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). The genus Prionolabis Osten Sacken, 1860 with four species, one of them Prionolabis dis(Alexander, 1950) endemic to North Korea, was recorded by Ch. P. Alexander (Alexander, 1938, 1940, 1950). All succeeding papers listing these species were based on these original works without study based on actual specimens. For each species, we present general information on genus, redescriptions of species based on Korean specimens, illustrations of important taxonomical structures, elevation range, period of activity, habitat information, general distribution, and a distribution map for the Korean Peninsula.

Short-palped crane flies belonging to the genus Epiphragma Osten Sacken, 1860 (Diptera: Limoniidae: Limnophilinae) have a worldwide distribution except the Afrotropics, with the highest diversity in Neotropics and Oriental Region. They are divided into four subgenera: Eupolyphragma Alexander, 1948, Epiphragma s. str., Lipophragma Alexander, 1978, and Parepiphragma Alexander, 1960. Diagnostic characters and wing photographs of all subgenera are given. Genus Epiphragma was previously unknown from the Korean Peninsula. Species Epiphragma (Epiphragma) gracilistylus Alexander, 1933 is newly recorded for North Korea, E. (E.) subfascipenne Alexander, 1920 is newly recorded for South and North Korea, and E. (E.) subinsigne Alexander, 1920 is newly recorded for South Korea. These species are taxonomically revised, and the taxonomic status of E. (E.) gracilistylus is discussed. We present an identification key and redescriptions and illustrations of both sexes from all species in Korea. Redescription of larva and pupa of E.(E.) subfascipenne is presented. Elevation range, period of activity, habitat information, general distribution, and a distribution map in Korean Peninsula is given for each species.

Estimating the habitat potential of inland forest patches for birds requires the modeling of species-area relationships, or relationships between habitat size and numbers of bird species in each patch. The accurate estimation of speciesarea relationships significantly reduces the effort required to recognize the number of species living in each patch. The objective of this study was to estimate the relationship between forest patch size and bird species diversity in Dangjin County, in northwest South Korea, based on the sizes of inland forest patches. KOMPSAT-2 images were obtained and ortho-rectified to construct a map of the target forest patches. The numbers of birds per patch were surveyed four times: August 2008, September 2008, February 2009 and May 2009. Regression models were derived to explain the relationships between the numbers of bird species and patch size. A model that was derived using data from all four observation periods had the highest coefficient of determination ($R^2$). According to these models, the numbers of bird species at first increased linearly with increasing patch size; however, the curve then plateaued. Our model including observations from four seasons will be useful for estimating the numbers of bird species in other inland forest patches in South Korea.

This study is based on crane fly specimens collected during an 80-year period (1937-2017) in the Republic of Korea and Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and are in collections maintained at the United States National Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC, USA; the Snow Entomological Museum, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, USA; and the National Institute of Biological Resources, Incheon, South Korea. These crane flies are developing in wet places which usually prevail at lower altitudes, but such areas are often used for agriculture and human settlements, making natural habitats scarce and fragmented. Probably because of that, Limnophila crane flies are rare on the Korean Peninsula and were unnoticed by previous researchers. The genus Limnophila Macquart, 1834 with three species being new record for the Korean Peninsula: L. (Limnophila) japonica Alexander, 1913, L. (L.) pictipennis (Meigen, 1818) and L. (L.) politostriata Alexander, 1934a. General information are presented for each species, such as on genus and subgenus, redescriptions of species based on Korean specimens, illustrations of both sexes, elevation range, period of activity, habitat information, general distribution, and a distribution map for the Korean Peninsula.

This study is based on crane fly specimens collected during more than 80 years, starting from 1938 through 2019, in the Republic of Korea and Democratic People's Republic of Korea and are in collections maintained at the United States National Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC, USA; the Snow Entomological Museum, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, USA; and the National Institute of Biological Resources, Incheon, South Korea. Pilaria crane flies are aquatic and semiaquatic, developing in fast running and stagnant water bodies and in wet muddy places at the margins of water pools. Such habitats usually prevail at lower altitudes, but these areas most often are used for agriculture and human settlement, making natural habitats scarce and fragmented. Pilaria crane flies are rare, thus it is not surprising that genus was left unnoticed by previous researchers. The genus Pilaria Sintenis, 1889 with two species P. melanota Alexander, 1922 and P. simulans Savchenko, 1983, is a new record for the Korean Peninsula. We present general information on the genus, redescriptions of species based on Korean specimens, illustrations of both sexes, elevation range, period of activity, habitat information, general distribution, and a distribution map for the Korean Peninsula for each species.

본 연구는 논습지를 이용하는 수조류의 서식지 이용과 개체군 특성을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 2009/2010년과 2011/2012년에 걸쳐 아산만 일대의 논을 대상으로 매월 2회씩 조사를 수행한 결과 총 35종의 수조류가 관찰되었다. 수조류의 논이용은 분류군에 따라 시기적으로 차이가 있지만, 분류군에 상관없이 대부분 논을 취식지로 이용하였다. 도요물떼새류는 봄철이동시기(4월-5월)에 담수화된 본답을 주로 이용하였다. 백로류는 논을 4월에서 10월까지 이용하였으며, 논의 상태변화에 따라 본답, 논둑, 수로 등을 고루 이용하였다. 논은 백로류의 번식에 필요한 충분한 먹이를 제공하는 서식지이다. 오리기러기류는 월동기간(11월-3월)동안 추수 후 떨어진 낙곡을 취식하기 위해 논을 이용하였다. 결과적으로 주기적으로 뚜렷한 환경변화를 갖는 논 생태계는 시기에 따라 다양한 수조류의 서식지를 제공하고 있다.
