The urban park has important functions as a habitat for wildlife as well as open space of rest and community for people. This study was carried out to find what factors of structure and vegetation of urban parks could affect forest bird species diversity in Cheonan city. The study surveyed bird and vegetation species in 26 urban parks, Cheonan city. A correlation analysis and multiple linear regressions were performed to test whether habitat structure and vegetation were the major correlate with species diversity. The results showed the Dujeong park was the most high bird species diversity (H' = 2.13), and the Dujeong-8 park (H' = 2.02) and the Cheongsa park (H' = 1.73) were considerably higher than the other urban parks. The variables that were strongly correlated with bird species diversity were park area, number of subtree species, canopy of shrub, number of shrub species, shape index, canopy of subtree, canopy of tree, and impervious surface ratio. The regression of bird species diversity against the environmental variables showed that 3 variables of park area, canopy of subtree, and canopy of tree were included in the best model. Model variable selection was broadly similar for the 5 optimal models. It means park area and multi-layer vegetation were the most consistent and significant predictor of bird species diversity, because urban parks were isolated by built-up areas. Especially the subtree coverage that provides shelter and food for forest birds was an important variable. Therefore, to make parks circular-shaped and abundant multi-layer vegetation, which could be a buffer to external disturbances and improve the quality of habitats, may be used to enhance species diversity in creation and management of urban parks.

We projected the distribution of Hedera rhombea, an evergreen broad-leaved climbing plant, under current climate conditions and predicted its future distributions under global warming. Inaddition, weexplained model uncertainty by employing 9 single Species Distribution model (SDM)s to model the distribution of Hedera rhombea. 9 single SDMs were constructed with 736 presence/absence data and 3 temperature and 3 precipitation data. Uncertainty of each SDM was assessed with TSS (Ture Skill Statistics) and AUC (the Area under the curve) value of ROC (receiver operating characteristic) analyses. To reduce model uncertainty, we combined 9 single SDMs weighted by TSS and resulted in an ensemble forecast, a TSS weighted ensemble. We predicted future distributions of Hedera rhombea under future climate conditions for the period of 2050 (2040~2060), which were estimated with HadGEM2-AO. RF (Random Forest), GBM (Generalized Boosted Model) and TSS weighted ensemble model showed higher prediction accuracies (AUC > 0.95, TSS > 0.80) than other SDMs. Based on the projections of TSS weighted ensemble, potential habitats under current climate conditions showed a discrepancy with actual habitats, especially in the northern distribution limit. The observed northern boundary of Hedera rhombea is Ulsan in the eastern Korean Peninsula, but the projected limit was eastern coast of Gangwon province. Geomorphological conditions and the dispersal limitations mediated by birds, the lack of bird habitats at eastern coast of Gangwon Province, account for such discrepancy. In general, potential habitats of Hedera rhombea expanded under future climate conditions, but the extent of expansions depend on RCP scenarios. Potential Habitat of Hedera rhombea expanded into Jeolla-inland area under RCP 4.5, and into Chungnam and Wonsan under RCP 8.5. Our results would be fundamental information for understanding the potential effects of climate change on the distribution of Hedera rhombea.

Understanding the regional distribution of swans in the lower Nakdong River area is also important for the continuous habitat of swans according to changes in the surrounding environment of the area. This study was conducted to understand the regional distribution aspect of swans (Cygnus spp.) downstream of the Nakdong River, Republic of Korea, from October 2013 to September 2018. In the estuary, a small ship was used to move along a certain route and observe it with the naked eye or binoculars, and in the land area, Line transect census and Point census method were conducted in parallel. During this period, two species and 34,647 individuals of swans were observed, including 34,356 Whooper Swans (Cygnus cygnus) and 291 Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus). The average number of individuals observed in 15 different areas was 1172, 103, 214, 1825, 1850, 13, 318, 1, 0, 1, 11, 21, 5, 0, and 239 respectively. The total average of the number of individuals in these areas was 384.76. The numbers differed significantly among the survey areas (Kruskal-Wallis test, X2=4349.01, P < 0.001). Particularly, the numbers were larger in Eulsukdo, Lower Eulsukdo, and Daemadeung than in the other regions. In conclusion, as long-term survey data, it can be used as basic data to analyze the distribution of swans due to environmental changes caused by the development of the Nakdong River, predict changes in the habitat status of migratory birds, and prepare measures necessary for preservation.

This study surveyed the island located in Sinan-gun and Wando-gun four times, once per season from September 2020 to November 2021 in order to understand the distribution of waterbirds on the island of the southwest coast. As a result of the investigation, a total of waterbirds of 7 orders, 12 families of 50 species, and 3,680 individuals were identified. By taxon, the largest number of species were identified as 11 species of waders, and the number of ducks was the largest with 2,035 individuals. In Bigeum-do Island, where forests are distributed less, the proportion of farmland is large, and tidal flats are widely distributed, the largest number of species and individuals of herons and waders were identified. Ducks and gulls have also been identified in large numbers of individuals in Bigeum-do Island. Most of them are forests and farmland, and the largest number of species and individuals of ducks have been identified in Pyeongil-do Island, where the coast is deep. In addition, Nodae-do Island, Sobyeongpung-do, and Daebyeongpung-do Island with monotonous habitats have been identified with fewer species and individuals. As a result, We learned that various types of waterbirds lived in islands with various habitats, and that the preferred habitat was different depending on the characteristics of the taxon group. By season, the largest number of species was identified as 35 in autumn, and the largest number of individuals was identified as 1,681 in winter. Although most of the seasonally identified waterbirds were winter birds, the largest number of species were identified in autumn, and most of the confirmed waterbird migration were identified in the autumn, indicating that waterbirds used the west-south coast islands as an intermediate stopover while traveling.

본 연구는 물새의 주요서식지인 한강의 물리적 구조 변화특성에 대한 시계열적분석을 실시함으로써 향후 물새서식지 복원 등 관리를 위한 기초자료를 구축하고자 하였다. 분석은 한강 전체 497.5km 중 서울 시내를 관통하는 구간인 상류부 팔당대교에서부터 하류부 행주대교까지 총 41.5km을 대상으로 하였고, 1975년을 기준하여 한강의 제외지를 대상으로 하였다. 토지이용분석결과, 1975년에는 퇴적지(22.7%), 수면(20.7%)을 포함하여 주변으로 시가화지역(16.9%), 밭(16.2%), 논(15.9%)이 주요 유형이었는데, 이후 대부분 지역의 토지이용을 위해 하천권역 내부로 간선도로가 조성되었고 수면 확대를 위해 수중보가 건설되면서 1985년에는 하천의 역할을 상실한 제내지(51.7%)가 급격히 증가하였다. 수면(32.8%)의 증가 또한 두드러졌으며, 제방의 축조와 수중보 조성 이후에는 토지이용의 급격한 변화보다는 조금씩 이용지역의 면적이 늘어나고 상대적으로 자연지역이 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 2005년에는 제내지가 차지하는 비율이 57.7%까지 증가하였으며 수면은 33.3%로 증가하였다. 호안길이는 2005년 기준 1975년 대비 10.9% 감소하였으며, 자연호안의 길이는 91.5% 감소하였다. 반면 수심은 1.46m 증가한 것으로 분석되었다. 지난 30년간의 한강의 물리적 구조 변화의 흐름을 종합하면 1980년대 이전까지는 대규모 건설공사로 인한 수변구역의 축소와 수면부의 확장이 주로 진행되었으며 이후에는 호안의 인공화가 주로 진행된 흐름을 확인할 수 있었다. 서식처 측면에서 한강은 과거 다양한 서식환경을 유지하던 곳에서, 현재는 소수 물새류를 위한 단순한 서식지로 변화되어 서식처 다양성을 위한 적극적 개선이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다.

Background: The present study was intended to determine the prevalence and identification of species involved causing coccidiosis in broilers rearing under traditional farming system in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. For the current study, a convenient sampling technique was carried out. A total of 7814 broilers (aged 1 to 6 weeks) were submitted to the Disease Diagnostic Laboratory of Livestock and Animal husbandry Department Mirpur, Azad Kashmir. Results: From the total screened, 750 were found positive for coccidiosis representing an overall prevalence of 9.59 %. Age-wise highest prevalence (10.88 %) recorded in the middle age birds (0 to 3 week old) were found more susceptible to infection than those aged above 3 weeks. Higher prevalence (12.49 %) of coccidiosis in broilers was observed in spring as compared with 6.60 % in summer season. In this study two main coccidiosis causing species, Emeria tenella and Emeria maxima were identified on the basis of their morphological feature and habitat (caeca and intestine), However, E. tenella was dominant compared to E. maxima. Conclusion: The study provides an insight to the occurrence of Emeria species which must be taken into consideration when rearing the broilers.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes a significant economic burden in the animal production industry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of MAP in the feces of wild duck populations residing along a riverside close to farms in the center of Korea. From wild Spot-billed (Anas poecilorhyncha) and Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) ducks, 128 fecal samples were collected and analyzed using multiplex real-time PCR, sequencing, and nested PCR to confirm the presence of the organism. The molecular analyses showed that 44 samples (34.4%) were positive for MAP, suggesting a high prevalence of MAP in the wild duck population. Considering the nature and habitat of wild ducks, this result suggests that the organism was introduced from contaminated water from waste of nearby farms, and that the wild ducks may act as a transmitter of the organism to other wild birds or livestock.

본 연구는 탐진강 하구역 생물군집의 군집 동태 및 분포 조건을 통해 기수지역 생태계 관리의 기초정보를 제공하기 위해 각 분류군별 전문가들이 정밀 조사한 결과를 분석하였다. 식생을 포함한 총 11개 생물 분류군에 대한 생물종의 다양성, 풍부성, 상관관계 및 생태적 특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 식생은 하천의 물리적 환경과 염도 등 서식처 환경조건에 따라 7개 상관형에 18개 단위식생의 분포가 확인 되었다. 생물종 다양성은 멸종위기야생생물 9분류군을 포함해 총 1,125개 분류군이 확인되었다. 각 분류군별 종조성과 분포 특성은 넓은 구간에 걸쳐 형성되는 자연성 높은 기수역의 하구역 특성을 잘 반영하고 있었다. 특히, 하천을 중심으로 유속과 염도, 토성 등 기반환경 차이에 따른 종다양성과 그 분포가 뚜렷하게 구분되었다. 일부구간에 분포하는 물막이보, 인공제방과 같은 인위적 교란요소에도 불구하고 현재의 환경조건 하에서 생물종의 다양성과 그 분포는 전반적으로 자연성 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 물막이보, 간척, 주기적인 제방관리, 경작지 확장 등에 의한 야생생물의 서식처 소실과 축소, 생태계 연결성 단절 등은 지역 생태계의 다양성과 건강성을 위협하는 주요 요인으로 지목되었다. 탐진강 하구역의 생물 분포 현황과 그 특성을 규명하는 최초의 정밀조사로서 탐진강을 비롯한 하구역에 대한 각종 개발압력 및 훼손 위기에 대응 할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
