한국 고유종인 새코미꾸리(Cobitis rotundicaudata)의 집단간 유전적 차이에 따른 종 분화 여부를 밝히고자 4개집단을 대상으로mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)의 RFLP분석을 실시 하였다. C. rotundicaudata mtDNA를 10개의 6-base cutting 제한요소로 처리한 다음 그 절 편 양상을 비교, 분석한 결과 4개 집단 공히 mtDNA의 전체 genome 크기는 약 16.5$\pm$ 0.5Kbp였으며 공통절편수(F)에서 한강 2개 집단(가평, 진부)과 동해안 마읍천 짐단간의 F값 은 0.911로 매우 가까웠으나 낙동강의 산청집단은 타 3개 집단과 F=0.375로 차이가 있었다. 또한 염기치환율(p)에 있어서도 한강 2개 집단 및 마읍천 집단간은 평균 p=0.005로 매우 유 사하였으나, 산청 집단은 타 집단들과 염기치환율에 있어 p=0.059로 종수준의 뚜렷한 차이 를 나타내어서 이들은 각각 별종으로 사료된다.

Scolelepis (Parascolelepis) papillosa (Okuda, 1937), originally described from a single incomplete individual from Jeju Island in Korea, was collected from the intertidal sandflats of Soan Island (Jeollanam-do province) in Korea. The examined specimens of S. (P.) papillosa agree well with the original description in having the papillae on the basal sheath of the palps, presence of occipital antenna, absence of notochaetae in chaetiger 1, branchiae completely fused with notopodial postchaetal lamellae at the anterior chaetigers, and neuropodial hooded hooks appearing from chaetiger 16. In this study, the sequences of partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA), and the nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) of the species were determined. We also provide the detailed description and illustrations on this species based on the complete specimens newly collected in this study.

The polychaete Scolelepis (Scolelepis) sagittaria was originally described from Japanese waters and subsequently reported from Korean waters. In this study, we determined for the first time the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA), and nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) sequences of Korean specimens of S. (S.) sagittaria. We also assessed intraspecific variation in the shape of the prostomium of this species based on an examination of 247 individuals. All materials were collected from intertidal sandy beaches of the Korea Strait. The molecular data and morphological observations reported herein will contribute to gaining a better understanding of the taxonomic relationships among members of the genus Scolelepis.

A spionid polychaete, Boccardiella hamata (Webster, 1879) has been found from mud in crevices between the shells of oysters and adherent substrates in South Korea. The sequences of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1), 16S ribosomal DNA (16S), and the nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (18S) from Korean individuals of Boccardiella hamata were determined in the present study. The molecular analysis based on the 18S rRNA gene sequences showed clear separation among the spionid polychaete species, and the sequences of Korean and Japanese individuals are completely identical. The morphological diagnosis and photographs of B. hamata are also provided.

One marine ciliate, Diophrys quadrinucleata Zhang et al., 2020 was newly recorded from South Korea in this study. We provided morphological diagnosis and images of the Korean D. quadrinucleata population. We determined the small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (CO1) sequence data of D. quadrinucleata, and then the sequences were compared with other Diophrys species. Intra-specific variation between the Korean and type (Chinese) populations was identical in the SSU rDNA, while the inter-specific variations between seven Diophrys species were 0.3-3.8% in the SSU rDNA and 12.6-18.2% in the CO1. In this study, we obtained 18S and CO1 data from species with identified morphology. As the importance of securing 18S and CO1 based on morphology increases in current studies, this study will contribute to ciliate studies.

As one of researches to clarify the taxonomic status of roe deer from Jeju island (C. pygargus tianschanicus), we analyzed partial sequences of mtDNA cytochrome b gene from six roe deers at Jeju island in Korea. Maximum nucleotide Tamura & Nei's distance among three haplotypes was 0.005, and this distance was comparable to the diversity within other roe deer subspecies: it is suggested that roe deers from the mainland dispersed rarely to Jejudo Island, although further analyses are ne-cessary to decide whether or not it was occurred by human introduction. Furthermore, nucleotide distance between cytochrome b sequences of roe deers from Jeju (C. pygargus tianschanicus) and the sequence of roe deer from west Siberia(C. p. pygargus), obtained from GenBank, was average 0.013, and it is suggested that C. p. tianschanicus diverged from C. p. pygargus of west Siberia 0.65 Myr ago.

Forty samples of common rats (Rattus norvegicus caraco) from Cheongu, Korea, were used for the analyses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fragment patterns resulted from the digestion with eight restriction enzymes. A total of 36 fragments were recognized and six mtDNA clones were revealed . The nucleotide-sequence divergences (p) among six mtDNA clones ranged from 0.35% to 2.73%. moreover, the six clones were grouped into three major subgroups ; the first, second , and third subgroup were composed of 29 samples of three clones, ten samples of two clones, and one sample of one clone, respectively. The second and third subgroups were different in their mtDNa genotype of Pvu II from the first subgroup, and the third subgroup differed in the genotype of Dra I from other two subgroups. Futhermore, the maximum divergence among common rats from Korea in this study is greater than that among common rats from the United States and Japan by Brown and Simpson (1981). Further analyses with additional sample from other localities in Korea appeared to be necessary in order to clarify the taxnomic status of the distinct mtDNA subgroups.

Four strains of Phellinus spp. was identified based on internal transcribed spacer(ITS) region of rDNA sequence analysis and morphological characteristics. Basidiocarps of all strains were effused-reflexed and hymenial surface was poroid. Hyphal system was dimitic and basidiospore was globose to ellipsoid. The amplification of ITS regions produced a DNA fragment of 500 to 780 by in all strains examined. The determined sequences were analyzed for the reconstruction of phylogenetic tree. From these results, Phellinus sp. KM-1, KM-2, and KM-4 was identified as P. hartigii, P. baumii, and P. linteus, respectively.

한국산 조류 중 박새속(genus Parus)에 속하는 4종 Parus major wladiwostokensis (박새), P. ater amurensis(진박새), P. palustrius hellmayri(쇠박새) 및 P. varius varius(곤줄 박이)를 대상으로 이들의 계통적 유연관계를 구명하기 위하여 mtDNA분석을 실시하였다. 6 base를 인지하는 10개의 제한효소를 처리하여 얻어진 mtDNA의 크기는 16.6~17.0Kb였으며 Pst I과 Pvu II는 종간 차이가 뚜렷하였다. 각 종간의 절편양상을 비교하여 Parus속의 종 간 분화정도를 비교한 결과 P. m. wladiwostokensis와 P. a. amurensis의 유전적 근연관계 가 가장 가까웠고(p=0.073, F=0.294) P. a. amurensis와 P. v. varius는 비교적 현저한 유전 적 차이를 보였다.(p=0.119, F=0.143). Brown 등 (1979)의 공식을 이용하여 박새속 4종의 분 화시기를 추정한 결과 이들은 후기 선신세(Pliocene)와 초기 홍적세(Pleistocene) 사이에 분 화된 것으로 추정되었다.
