Recently, we consist in the crucial juncture have to develope culture goods which is worth standing for our nation's endemism. In this vein, this study tried to reproduce and apply it to the present time by the consideration of various elements such as the kind, the use and the fabrication of sewing craft-works was beloved in women's quarter called Kyubang in the Chosun dynasty. With this, this study was designed to develope craft-works which can make an appeal to foreigners with the merits between contemporary factor and traditional factor. The findings of this study were as follows; First, since economic system in the Chosun dynasty was based on home handicrafts and self-sufficiency, it was a commonplace of the Chosun dynasty that home industry such as sewing, spinning and sericulture was thriving among all the women without social ladder. And also, since women of the day were governed by confucian tradition and moral obligation, they mainly have to live in women's quarter called Kyubang restricted to visitors. For the reasons, Wives of the time have no choice but to spend their time by sewing in the promotion of virtues for woman. In additions, they made an effort to pray for the longevity, the wealthy and the fertility of their family members. Second, the sewing instruments is necessary for women's sewing. And also, since sewing instruments was considerably scientific, efficient in those shape and structure, this instruments could save wives a lot of trouble. Third, since many people were convinced of the functions as practicality as well as fanciness, the sewing craft-works were very useful to them in leading their daily life. Fourth, the reappeared works were a total of 22, and the applied works were a total of 17.

The strictly freshwater red algal order Batrachospermales has undergone numerous taxonomic rearrangements in the recent past to rectify the paraphyly of its largest genus Batrachospermum. These systematic investigations have led to the description of new genera and species as well as re-circumscription of some taxa. Specimens collected from two locations in the southeastern USA were initially identified as being allied to Batrachospermum sensu lato, but could not be assigned to any recognized species. Representative rbcL (plastid) and COI-5P (mitochondrion) sequences showed these specimens to be similar to each other and not closely matching the previously published sequence data for other Batrachospermum taxa. Comparison of sequence variation and morphology with a broader range of batrachospermalean taxa resulted in the proposal of a new monotypic genus Lympha mucosa gen. et sp. nov. to accommodate these specimens. Lympha mucosa is sister to members of a newly described genus Volatus, but the two genera are easily distinguished based on straight versus curved, twisted or spirally coiled carpogonial branch, respectively. This new taxon has morphological similarities to Batrachospermum sections Turfosa and Virescentia, but can be differentiated based on genetic divergence in rbcL and COI-5P as well as a combination of morphological characters: dense, compressed whorls, axial carposporophytes with a single type of gonimoblast filament; cortication of the main axis closely appressed; and short, straight carpogonial branch arising from the pericentral cell and carpogonia with unstalked, lanceolate trichogynes. This new taxon adds to the freshwater red algal diversity of the southeastern USA, a region already known for biodiversity and high endemism of the aquatic flora and fauna. It is also a relevant new addition to the taxonomic knowledge of the freshwater red algal Batrachospermales.

Phylogeographic and feeding ecological studies of seven terrestrial mustelid species (Carnivora, Mustelidae), the Japanese marten Martes melampus, the sable Martes zibellina, the Japanese badger Meles anakuma, the ermine or the stoat Mustela erminea, the Japanese weasel Mustela itatsi, the least weasel Mustela nivalis, and the Siberian weasel Mustela sibirica, representing four biogeographic patterns in the Japanese archipelagos (Hokkaido, Honshu-Shikoku-Kyushu, Tsushima, and Hokkaido-Honshu), were reviewed in order to clarify causes for the faunal assemblage processes of those mustelid species in Japan. Here, three main constraints were extracted as important factors on the mustelid assemblage. First, fundamental evolutionary differences maintained by niche conservatism in each ecologically diversified lineage ("evolutionary constraint") would enable the species to co-occur without any major problem (coexistence among Martes, Meles, and Mustela species). Second, "ecological constraints" would force two closely related species to be allopatric by competitive exclusion (Mu. itatsi and Mu. sibirica) or to be sympatric by resource partitions (Mu. erminea and Mu. nivalis). Third and most importantly, "geological constraints" would allow specific species to be embraced by a particular geographic region, primarily deciding which species co-occurs. The allopatric distribution of two Martes species in Japan would have been established by the strong effect of the geological separation in Tsugaru Strait. Elucidating both phylogeny and ecology of co-existing species in a community assemblage is important to know which species possess distinct lineage and which ecological traits are adapted to local environments, fulfilling the requirement of the field of conservation biology that endemism and adaptation should both be considered. The Japanese archipelagos would, therefore, provide valuable insight into the conservation for small carnivoran species.

Ocean warming can have significant negative impacts on population genetic diversity, local endemism and geographical distribution of a wide range of marine organisms. Thus, the identification of conservation units with high risk of extinction becomes an imperative task to assess, monitor, and manage marine biodiversity for policy-makers. Here, we surveyed population structure and genetic variation of the red seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla along the coast of China using genome-based amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) scanning. Regardless of analysis methods used, AFLP consistently revealed a south to north genetic isolation. Populations at the southern coast of China showed unique genetic variation and much greater allelic richness, heterozygosity, and average genetic diversity than the northern. In particular, we identified a geographical barrier that may hinder genetic exchange between the two lineages. Consequently, the characterized genetic lineage at the southern coast of China likely resulted from the interplay of post-glacial persistence of ancestral diversity, geographical isolation and local adaptation. In particular, the southern populations are indispensable components to explore evolutionary genetics and historical biogeography of G. vermiculophylla in the northwestern Pacific, and the unique diversity also has important conservation value in terms of projected climate warming.

Background: Endemic species are important components in the flora of most world regions. Most of these species have become threatened and exposed to extinction within the last few years. The present study aims to evaluate the ecosystem services offered by the endemic plant taxa in Egypt and the threats that affect them. Twenty-five field visits were conducted during summer 2018 to spring 2022 to several locations all over Egypt. In each location, the main habitats, national distribution, abundance, goods and threats were recorded. Results: Egypt has 41 endemic taxa belonging to 36 genera and 20 families inhabiting 10 main habitats. Rocky surfaces and sandy formations have the highest number of endemic species. The relation between the number of endemic taxa and the abundance categories indicated that 2 taxa are rare (4.9% of the total taxa), while the remaining were very rare (95%). The most represented offered good was the medicinal uses (32 taxa = 78%), while fuel plants were only represented by 2 taxa (2 taxa = 4.9%). Besides, 14 taxa (34.1% of the total studied taxa) have at least 1 environmental service. Soil fertility (7 taxa = 50%) was the most represented, followed by sand accumulations (6 taxa out of 14 taxa = 43%), while shading plant was the least (1 taxon = 7.1%) (Rosa arabica). The most represented threat is over-cutting and over-collecting (38 taxa = 92.7%), while mining and quarrying is the least represented (4 taxa = 9.8%). Conclusions: The potential and actual goods, services and threats of the endemic taxa were assessed as follows; field observation, information collected from local inhabitants and herbalists, and a literature review. The present study recommended planning a strategy about the importance, threats and conservation of endemic taxa in Egypt that would help in the protection and rescue of these plants and increase awareness about the importance of these plants.

섬강 상류의 어류상 변화와 어류군집 특성을 밝히기 위해 2018년부터 2020년까지 조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 35개 지점을 조사한 결과, 채집된 어류는 12과 40종 7,817개체였다. 출현종 중 우점종은 참갈겨니(Zacco koreanus, 34.5%), 아우점종은 피라미(Z. platypus, 28.7%)였고, 그 다음으로 버들치(Rhynchocypris oxycephalus, 10.2%), 돌고기(Pungtungia herzi, 5.3%), 긴몰개(Squalidus gracilis majimae, 4.3%), 참종개(Iksookimia koreensis, 2.1%), 참마자(Hemibarbus longirostris, 1.6%), 모래무지(Pseudogobio esocinus, 1.5%) 돌마자(Microphysogobio yaluensis, 1.4%), 한강납줄개(Rhodeus pseudosericeus, 1.4%) 등의 순으로 우세하였다. 법정보호종은 환경부지정 멸종위기 야생생물 II급인 한강납줄개와 묵납자루(Acheilognathus signifer), 돌상어(Gobiobotia brevibarba), 둑중개(Cottus koreanus) 4종이 출현하였는데, 주로 한강납줄개와 묵납자루, 돌상어는 중·하류에, 둑중개는 최상류에 서식하고 있었다. 출현종 중 한국고유종은 19종(고유화율 47.5%)이었고, 기후변화민감종(냉수성 어종)은 둑중개 1종, 외래어종은 떡붕어(Carassius cuvieri)와 배스(Micropterus salmoides) 2종이 확인되었다. 군집분석 결과, 대체로 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 우점도는 낮아지고 다양도와 풍부도는 높아지는 경향을 보였으며, 군집구조는 크게 최상류, 상류, 중하류, 호수로 구분되었다. 섬강 상류는 횡성댐이 건설되면서 직·간접적으로 어류군집에 큰 영향을 미쳤는데, 댐 건설 직후 멸종위기종 묵납자루와 한강납줄개, 돌상어 서식지 및 개체수가 급격히 감소하고 수몰지역은 유수성 어류에서 정수성 어류로 변화되었다. 약 20년이 지난 현재, 서식지가 안정화 되면서 서식하는 어류가 증가하고 급격히 감소하였던 멸종위기종 한강납줄개와 돌상어의 서식지 및 개체수가 증가하였다. 또한 하천건강성(FAI)은 27개 지점은 매우 좋음(A), 7개 지점은 좋음(B), 1개 지점은 보통(C)으로 평가되어 비교적 우수하였다. 하지만 멸종위기종 묵납자루는 댐 공사 및 하천공사로 지역절멸에 처해 있고, 둑중개는 하천공사로 개체수가 심각하게 감소하였으며, 횡성호에서 생태계교란 생물 배스의 서식이 확인되어 우려되었다. 따라서 섬강 상류의 안정적인 어류 서식을 위해서는 무분별한 하천공사를 지양하고, 멸종위기종 묵납자루는 시급히 복원정책이 필요하며, 생태계교란 생물 배스의 확산을 방지할 수 있는 관리방안이 요구되었다.
