Four feral cats and a raccoon dog purchased from a local collector on Aphaedo Island, Shinan-gun, where human Gymnophalloides seoi infections are known to be prevalent, were examined for their intestinal helminth parasites. From 2 of 4 cats, a total of 310 adult G. seoi specimens were recovered, Other helminths detected in cats included Heterophyes nocens (1,527 specimens), Pygidiopsis summa (131), Stictodora fuscata (4), Acanthotrema felis (2), Spirometra erinacei (15), toxocarids (4), and a hookworm (1). A raccoon dog was found to be infected with a species of echinostome (55), hook-worms (7), toxocarids (3), P. summa (3), and S. erinacei (1). No G. seoi was found in the raccoon dog. The results indicate that feral cats and raccoon dogs on Aphaedo are natural definitive hosts for intestinal trematodes and cestodes, including G. seoi, H. nocens, and S. erinacei, It has been first confirmed that cats, a mammalian species other than humans, play the role of a natural definitive host for G. seoi on Aphaedo Island.

전라남도 신안군에 위치한 압해도의 관속식물상을 조사하고 분포가 확인된 주요 식물에 대해 논의하였다. 2011년 5월부터 2016년 3월까지 총 28일간 현지조사를 통해 확보된 표본에 근거하여 식물목록을 작성한 결과, 압해도에 분포하는 관속식물은 102과 294속에 속하는 413종 6아종 30변종 2품종 등 총 451분류군으로 정리되었다. 이 중에서 멸종위기 및 희귀식물은 왕자귀나무, 병아리다리, 성주풀 등 9분류군이 확인되었다. 식물구계학적 특정식물은 V등급 4분류군, IV등급 6분류군, III등급 19분류군, II등급 4분류군, I등급 26분류군 등 총 59분류군이 조사되었다. 특산식물은 새끼노루귀, 좀땅비싸리, 해변싸리 등 6분류군이 확인되었다. 귀화식물은 생태계교란식물인 애기수영, 미국쑥부쟁이, 서양금혼초 등을 포함하여 총 52분류군으로 나타났다. 압해대교 개통 전후에 수행된 선행연구 비교를 통하여 압해도의 귀화식물 변화를 분석하였다.

We investigated the moth diversity on an island of southern sea of Korea. We collected moths at three sites on the island of Bogildo, Wando-gun, Jeonnam using a 22-watt ultraviolet light trap from May to October, 2008, and identified a total of 272 species and 948 individuals in 13 families. Species of Noctuidae was the most abundant, with 107 species and 318 individuals, followed by Geometridae (62 species and 147 individuals) and Pyralidae (53 species and 269 individuals). The graph of the estimated species richness in Chao 1 (432.25$\pm$37.39) did not reach an asymptote, which suggests that more moth species could be identified on the island through further sampling. An arctiid moth, Miltochrista striata, was the most abundant species captured in this study. Monthly changes in moth species richness and abundance formed M-shaped curves, with peaks in early summer (June) and late summer (August). Cluster analysis of seven sites on three islands (Aphaedo Island, Sinan-gun, Oenarodo Island, Goheung-gun and Bogildo Island) divided the sites into two groups. Distances among sites and habitat types may play an important role in determining the similarities of moth faunas among sites.
