  • 흰대극과 섬흰대극의 형태적, 유전적 분화를 알아보기 위해 두 종의 14개 자연 집단으로부터 12개의 형태형질과 11개의 동위효소 유전좌위를 조사하였다. 흰대극복합체의 유전적 다양성 측정치(A=1.63, P=44.83, $H_e$=0.198)는 기존의 동북아산 암대극과 두메대극의 보고와 유사하며, 한국산 붉은대극과 대극보다는 약간 낮은 수치를 보여주고 있다. 비록 대부분 두 종사이의 형태형질의 측정범위가 중복되나 흰대극과 섬흰대극은 형태형질의 조합에 의해 구별되며, 이를 기초로 한 전형질도는 한국에 두 종이 분포함을 지지해주고 있다. 하지만 동위효소 자료를 이용한 분석에서는 두 종이 구별되지 않았으며, 이와 같은 두 자료의 불일치는 두 종이 최근에 분화 하였거나 종간 형질이입에 의한 교잡에 의해 이와 같은 결과가 나온 것으로 추측된다.

  • 유해성 적조생물 Cochlodinium polykrikoides/Gyrodinium aurelum을 포함한 43 종류의 와편조류를 대상으로 SSU 부위 유전자를 분석했다. 유전자 염기서열에 의거한 상호 계통수는 parisomny, distance, maxium 방법으로 실행했다. Noctilura scintillans, Gonyaulax spinifera와 Crythecodinium cohnii 종들은 와편모조류 중 가장 유전적으로 먼 것으로 보였다. Alexandrium과 Symbiodinium 종간의 bootstrap는 70% 이상의 상호 단일 계통도를 보인 반면에, Gymnodinium과 Gyrodinium은 근립절약계수와 최대 유사도 방법에서 다형 계통도를 나타내었다. Gyroddinium aurelum과 G. dorsum/G. galathenum의 유전적 분화율은 7.4% (45 bp) 였고, G. aurelum과 G. mikimotoi 상호간에는 0.9% (5bp) 밖에 나타나지 않았다. 또한 C. polykrikoides와 G. aurelum도 5.2% (31bp)로 낮은 유전적 분화율을 보였다. 계통도를 분석한 결과 G. aureolum과 C. polykrikoides는 Gyrodinium 보다 Gymnodinim 속에 훨씬 더 근접하게 나타났다.

  • We investigated the sequence divergence of the geographic samples of the queen bumble bee (Bombus ardens) in Korea. A portion of mitochondrial COI gene sequences (423 bp) was analyzed for 44 individuals collected from seven localities. Sequence analysis resulted in four COI haplotypes with the maximum nucleotide divergence of only 0.5% (two bp). One haplotype (BA1) was dominant in all localities surveyed (86.4%). The finding of low sequence divergence and dominance of one haplotype appear to reflect, although limited, the life history of the B. ardens queens subjected to active dispersal and seasonal fluctuation in queen number.

  • Eleven Gonioctena species have been recorded in the Korean Peninsula. Most species in the genus have very similar coloration and morphology. The male genitalia is generally used as the only reliable diagnostic character differentiating closely related species, but it is still difficult to identify females to species accurately. Here, we determined the COI barcodes of two Gonioctena species described from Korea and give morphological descriptions. The interspecific genetic divergence (Kimura 2-parameter) among the Gonioctena ranged from 0.073 to 0.138 and averaged 0.108. The pairwise genetic distance between the two Korean species(0.102) is similar to the average interspecific divergence. We predict that these analyses will help to resolve taxonomic issues and find cryptic species.

  • The mole crickets, Gryllotalpa, are insect pest distributed in the world. In Korea, G. orientalis was reported to occur, but previous ecological studies suggested the presence of two ecological types. To test this hypothesis, we sequenced a portion of mitochondrial (mt) genome from 48 G. orientali individuals collected over five Korean localities: Busan, Suwon, Okchon, Wonju, and Gangneung. From the sequence analysis, only two haplotypes were obtained, but the sequence divergence between the two haplotypes was 11 %, suggesting the presence of two distinct genetic groups in Korea. Although the population of Busan, Okchon, Wonju, and Gangneung was identified as a single haplotype, but that of Suwon was occupied by both hapotypes. Considering sequence divergence of other insect species occurring in Korea, the divergence estimate found between the two haplotypes seems to be too large to be considered as identical species. This result may suggest that the two differentiated haplotypes found in this study may reflect the previously reported two ecological types found in Suwon, Korea. To further understand the genetic divergence of the two phylogenetic groups, analysis of more variable regions of G. orientalis genome is required.

  • Inter- and intraspecific genetic relationships between Rana amurensis from Korea and Russia and other brown frogs were investigated by nucleotide sequence of a 504 base pair (bp) fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Nucleotide sequence similarities among Korean populations of R. amurensis ranged from 99.6% to 97.6% and 98.8% within Russian populations. The nucleotide sequence similarity between Korean and Russian R. amurensis ranged from 86.9% to 85.5%. Based on Kimura-2-parameter distance, the sequence divergence between R. amurensis from Korea and Russia was 16.18% and 18.04% among other related brown frogs. interspecific sequence divergences among R. amurensis and other related brown frogs diverged by 20.3%. Using an estimate of 2-4% mitochondrial DNA sequence divergence per million years, Korean and Russian R. amurensis diverged about 8 to 4 million years ago (Mya) and other brown frogs diverged about 9 to 5 Mya from ancestral frogs and distributed from North Asia to Sakhalin in a short time. In the neighbor-joining and UPGMA tree R. amurensis was clustered into two groups with Korean and Russian populations and the other brown frogs were grouped separately with diverged trichotomous clusters (R. dybowskii and R. pirica, R. okinavana and R. tsushimensis, and R. japonica and R. longicrus).

  • The Asian cavity-nesting honeybee, Apis cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae), has been extensively studied for its biogeography and genetic diversity, but the molecules utilized in past studies were mainly ~90 bp long mitochondrial non-coding sequences, located between $tRNA^{Leu}$ and COII. Thus, additional molecular markers may enrich our understanding of the biogeography and genetic diversity of this valuable bee species. In this study, we reviewed the public genome database to find introns of cDNA sequences, with the assumption that these introns may have less evolutionary constraints. The six introns selected were subjected to preliminary tests. Thereafter, two introns, titled White gene and MRJP9 gene, were selected. Sequencing of 552 clones from 184 individual bees showed a total of 222 and 141 sequence types in the White gene and MRJP9 gene introns, respectively. The sequence divergence ranged from 0.6% to 7.9% and from 0.26% to 17.6% in the White gene and the MRJP9 introns, respectively, indicating higher sequence divergence in both introns. Analysis of population genetic diversity for 16 populations originating from Korea, China, Vietnam, and Thailand shows that nucleotide diversity (π) ranges from 0.003117 to 0.025837 and from 0.016541 to 0.052468 in the White gene and MRJP9 introns, respectively. The highest π was found in a Vietnamese population for both intron sequences, whereas the nine Korean populations showed moderate to low sequence divergence. Considering the variability and diversity, these intron sequences can be useful as non-mitochondrial DNA-based molecular markers for future studies of population genetics.

  • The leaf beetle, $Chrysolina$ $aurichalcea$ (Coleoptera: Chysomelidae), is a pest damaging plants of Compositae. In order to understand the genetic diversity and geographic variation we sequenced a portion of mitochondrial COI gene (658 bp) and complete nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of the species collected from seven Korean localities. A total of 17 haplotypes (CACOI01~CACOI17), with the maximum sequence divergence of 3.04% (20 bp) were obtained from COI gene sequence, whereas 16 sequence types (ITS2CA01~ITS2CA16), with the maximum sequence divergence of 2.013% (9 bp) were obtained from ITS2, indicating substantially larger sequence divergence in COI gene sequence. Phylogenetically, the COI gene provided two haplotype groups with a high nodal support (${\geq}87%$), whereas ITS2 provided only one sequence type group with a high nodal support (${\geq}92%$). The result of COI gene sequence may suggest the presence of historical biogeographic barriers that bolstered genetic subdivision in the species. Different grouping pattern between COI gene and ITS2 sequences were interpreted in terms of recent dispersal, reflected in the ITS2 sequence. Finding of unique haplotypes and sequence types only from Beakryeng-Islet population was interpreted as an intact remnant of ancient polymorphism. As more samples are analyzed using further hyper-variable marker, further fruitful inference on the geographic contour of the species might be available.

  • We present a new maximum likelihood approach to estimate demographic history using genomic data sampled from two populations. A demographic model such as an isolation-with-migration (IM) model explains the genetic divergence of two populations split away from their common ancestral population. The standard probability model for an IM model contains a latent variable called genealogy that represents gene-specific evolutionary paths and links the genetic data to the IM model. Under an IM model, a genealogy consists of two kinds of evolutionary paths of genetic data: vertical inheritance paths (coalescent events) through generations and horizontal paths (migration events) between populations. The computational complexity of the IM model inference is one of the major limitations to analyze genomic data. We propose a fast maximum likelihood approach to estimate IM models from genomic data. The first step analyzes genomic data and maximizes the likelihood of a coalescent tree that contains vertical paths of genealogy. The second step analyzes the estimated coalescent trees and finds the parameter values of an IM model, which maximizes the distribution of the coalescent trees after taking account of possible migration events. We evaluate the performance of the new method by analyses of simulated data and genomic data from two subspecies of common chimpanzees in Africa.
