  • This study was conducted to investigate the movement and home range of the red-tongued viper snake (Gloydius ussuriensis) from June 2006 to June 2009. This snake species inhabits an islet on Jeju Island, Gapado. A total of 132 individual snakes were marked during the study. Among the marked individuals, the number of snakes recaptured more than once was 22 (16.8 %) and the number of individuals recaptured more than twice was eight (6.1 %), indicating a relatively low recapture rate. The durations from capture to recapture varied from 1 to 710 days. However, the capture points were not much different, indicating that the moved distance of snakes and the interval between capture-recapture were not correlated. The home ranges of the Red-tongued viper snakes calculated from data of the snakes which were captured more than three times using the MCP(minimum convex polygon) method were $8{\sim}167m^2(64.0{\pm}57.0m^2)$, suggesting that this snake is relatively sedentary. Home range size differences between female ($Mean=62.0m^2$) and male ($Mean=66.0m^2$) snakes were not significant. In the red-tongued viper population of Gapado, there was no statistically significant relationship between body size and home range size although it was positively correlated (r=0.675). Our results provide valuable data to understand life patterns of the red-tongued viper snakes and will be useful when conducting further ecological studies on other snake species.

  • The sampling was made by a kind of trap nets and an electric fishing apparatus in the lagoons of Arcachon Bay. Length frequency distributions obtained by two gears are combined to propose more reliable length composition of the population. The biomass was estimated by the capture and recapture method in a limited area with electric fishing apparatus, and it was redressed based on the corrected length composition. It showed approximately 638kg/ha in the deeper parts of the lagoons. It suggests that the lagoons of Arcachon Bay contain relatively high density of eels.

  • 도로 건설로 인한 서식지 파편화에 대한 저감방안으로 육교형 생태통로가 건설되고 있기는 하지만 효과성에 대해서는 아직도 논쟁이 있다. 생태통로의 효과성 평가를 위해 족적트랩, 카메라트랩과 같은 모니터링 방법이 실시되고는 있으나 얼마나 많은 개체가 이용하는지 정량적으로 평가하기에는 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 생태통로와 인근 지역을 서식지로 이용할 가능성이 큰 소형포유류인 등줄쥐를 대상으로 포획-재포획 방법으로 개체 위치 파악을 통해 생태통로 이용 정도를 도출하고, 트랩 주변 환경 특성을 이용하여 등줄쥐의 생태통로 이용에 미치는 요인을 확인하였다. 등줄쥐의 생태통로 이용도는 격자단위의 포획지점을 연결하여 이동 거리와 경로를 확인하였고, 생태통로 이용에 미치는 환경 특성은 트랩당 포획 횟수를 종속변수로 한 일반화 선형 모형(Generalized linear model)을 이용하였다. 연구결과, 등줄쥐의 이동 거리는 선행연구와 유사하게 나타났으며, 생태통로를 횡단하는 개체가 나타나지 않음에 따라 등줄쥐는 생태통로를 통로보다는 서식지로 이용함을 확인하였다. 등줄쥐가 생태통로를 이용하는 데 영향을 미친 환경 특성은 층위별 식생피복량(1~2m, 2~8m, 8m 이상), 교목식생, 트랩 주변 최대 수목 흉고직경, 경사도가 유의하게 나타났다. 이에 따라 생태통로 조성 시 더 많은 교목과 관목을 식재하고, 높은 경사와 절토사면 생성을 방지하여 생태계 내 먹이원으로 이용될 수 있는 등줄쥐 이용도를 높인다면 생태통로의 효과성을 더 높일 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

  • 낙동강과 금호강 합류부에 인접한 대명유수지는 멸종위기종인 맹꽁이의 집단 산란처로 생물서식공간의 보전 필요성이 높아지고 있으나, 맹꽁이 개체군에 대한 과학적인 조사가 미흡하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 포획-재포획방법에 의해 대명유수지에 서식하는 맹꽁이 개체수를 추정하며, 미지형과 식생분포를 토대로 분류한 서식처별 방형구 배치를 통해 맹꽁이의 공간분포 특성을 살펴보았다. 2013년부터 2년간 진행된 조사에서 맹꽁이는 5월초 출현하여 7월과 8월에 활동이 증가하고, 10월말에 동면에 들어가는 것으로 나타났다. 개체군 크기 추정을 위해 실시된 2014년 1차 조사에 98개체를 포획하여 표식 후 방사하였으며, 2차 조사에서는 표지된 5개체를 포함한 68개체를 재포획하여 대명유수지에 서식하는 맹꽁이는 대략 535-2,131개체로 추정하였다. 또한 대명유수지의 맹꽁이 개체군 공간분포를 파악하기 위해 평지 식생군락, 사면부, 저습지 등의 서식처에 57개 함정트랩을 배치하여, 맹꽁이의 이동이 활발한 장마철 전후를 대상으로 현지조사를 실시한 결과, 맹꽁이는 대명천과 인접한 사면부에서 출현밀도가 높고, 저지대는 출현밀도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 저지대의 맹꽁이 출현밀도는 산란철에 상대적으로 높으나 산란 이후에는 급격히 감소하였는데, 이는 산란 이후 은신처, 월동지로 이동하는 맹꽁이의 행동습성과 더불어 저지대가 지하수위 상승으로 대부분 침수되면서 서식환경이 악화되어 주변 경사지와 평지 식생군락으로 이동하기 때문으로 판단된다.

  • 한국산 가재 Cambaroides similis 자연 개체군의 생활사를 밝히기 위해 2006년 3월부터 10월까지 약 8개월간 서울소재 관악산에 서식하는 가재를 조사하였다. 조사기간 중 포획 및 재포획 방법을 사용하여 총 551개체에 대한 조사가 이루어 졌다. 연구결과 관악산의 가재 개체군은 체장 빈도 분포를 통해 4개의 연령 구조를 가지는 것으로 추정되며, 암수 성비는 거의 동일하였다. 성장률은 수은에 크게 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 6월에 확인된 어린 유생들은 8월에 성체로 성장하였다. 논란이 있었던 한국산 가재의 교미시기는 늦은 가을부터 시작됨을 확인하였다.

  • Wildlife ecologists and biologists recapture deer to collect tracking data from deer collars or wait for a drop-off of a deer collar construction that is automatically detached and disconnected. The research teams need to manage a base camp with medical trailers, helicopters, and airplanes to capture deer or wait for several months until the deer collar drops off of the deer's neck. We propose an intelligent robust base-station research with a low-cost and time saving method to obtain recording sensor data from their collars to a listener node, and readings are obtained without opening the weatherproof deer collar. We successfully designed the and implemented a robust base station system for automatically collecting data of the collars and listener motes in harsh wilderness environments. Intelligent solutions were also analyzed for improved data collections and pattern predictions with drone-based detection and tracking algorithms.

  • The amount of Batillus cornutus captured in Jeju Island was about 2,000 tons/year for three years after 2000. The mean size of B. cornutus by shell height was 7.7 cm in 2001, 7.9 cm in 2002, and 8.1 cm in 2003. Local mean size of B. cornutus by shell height was 8.7 cm in eastern waters, 7.4 cm in western waters, 7.8 cm in southern waters, and 7.7 cm in northern waters of Jeju Island. To investigate the effect of the growth pattern, an experiment was conducted: the samples were tagged and released in southern coastal waters of Jeju Island on 2nd April (a release test) and 29th October (a recapture test) in 2003. The release stations were two sites, natural reef and artificial reef, where their environmental conditions were different from each other. In April, the size of B. cornutus released in the natural reef was 6.2 cm in mean shell height, and 58.9 g in mean shell weight. The size of B. cornutus released in the artificial reef was 6.6 cm in mean shell height, and 65.9 g in mean shell weight. During the release period, most of B. cornutus were not moved much (less than 10 m) from the original release sites. When B. cornutus was recaptured in October after 7 months, the size of B. cornutus released in the natural reef became 7.4 cm in mean shell height, and 89.4 g in mean shell weight. The size of B. cornutus released in the artificial reef became 7.2 cm in mean shell height, and 84.9 g in mean shell weight. This indicates that the growth rate of B. cornutus released in the natural reef was higher than that of B. cornutus in the artificial reef. These differences in the growth of B. cornutus between study sites were ascribed to the abundance of marine algae grazed by immobile B. cornutus. Namely, with relatively high growth rate of B. cornutus in the natural reef, the number of species (23 species) and biomass (26,703.4 g) of algae were more diverse and abundant than those (7 species and 17,018.4 g) of algae in the artificial reef. The growth of B. cornutus in the natural reef was also correlated to high water temperature $(15.5-25.9^{\circ}C)$.

  • To conserve the population of a hesperiid butterfly, Leptalina unicolor, inhabiting the protected areas of Jaeyaksan, we provide ecological information on their behavior and propose habitat conservation measures, such as the creation of alternative habitats based on comprehensive information. The behavioral study used a method of re-capture after releasing the butterfly with enamel marks on the wings. Adult behaviors were shown in four patterns: flying, settling on a plant, nectar absorption, and water absorption. Both males and females had the highest proportion of flight movement overall; however, males had a slightly higher proportion of flight movement. As for duration, females spent more time settling on plants to select spawning sites, and males seemed to take a longer time for water absorption activities, to absorb minerals needed to form the spermatophore. The average travel distance of butterflies was 27.5 m for females and 46.7 m for males, with daily activity ranges from 11.2 m to 43.8 m, and 21.4 to 57.6 m, respectively. The most important condition to preserve the habitat of Leptalina unicolor is to maintain the community of Miscanthus sinensis, a food plant. Additionally, because this butterfly has a high rate of water absorption activities, wetlands should be maintained.
