The objectives of the research are to explain the nature of cultural diffusion and its associated theoretical concepts, to review the nature of traditional Indonesian textiles and to focus particular attention on the origin, evolution and diffusion of motifs and patterns associated with the decoration of two important categories of Indonesian textiles: batiks and ikats. Cultural diffusion refers to the process by which cultural traits, material objects, ideas, inventions, innovations or patterns of behaviour are spread from one social or geographical context to another. Examining the decoration on traditional textiles produced across the Indonesian archipelago, certain motifs and patterns are shown to have been retained from ancient times, and others have been adopted from elsewhere. There is great cultural diversity across the archipelago and ample evidence of cultural diffusion.

거제도의 십각류상을 밝히기 위한 분류학적 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과 28과 79종이 동정되었으며, 이 가운데 새우류 9종, 집게류 7종, 게류 39종이 거제도의 십각류상에 추가되었다. 과거기록을 포함하여 총 93종의 분류목록을 마련하였으며, 기재없이 기록만 있었던 중간뿔물맞이게 (Pugettia quadridens intermedia Sakai, 1983)를 재기재 하였다. 또한 게류 64종의 분포형과 종의 출현양상을 근거로 거제도의 동물지리적 양상을 논하였다.

Two diogenid hermit crab species, Dardanus lagopodes and Diogenes deflectomanus, are newly reported from Korea. Dardanus lagopodes is distinguished from the other species of genus Dardanus in Korea by having setae with cream-colored tips on the cephalothorax and the following characteristics: ocular peduncles somewhat longer than antennular peduncles, and the pereopod without a longitudinal sulcus and scute-like projections. Diogenes deflectomanus is similar to D. nitidimanus but can be distinguished by having the fixed finger of the left cheliped bent slightly downwardly and the following characteristics: slightly shorter ocular peduncle, elongated left cheliped with small granules on the surface, right cheliped without calcareous teeth on the cutting edge of the dactylus, and the minute spine of post-median margin of the telson is not well developed. The geographical distributions of these two species are extended by the present study. In particular, D. deflectomanus in the current study is the first report outside Chinese waters. Now, 20 species of the family Diogenidae are known in Korean waters.

Two copepod species of Leptocaris belonging to the family Darcythompsoniidae are recorded from sandy mud sediments of salt marshes in South Korea: L. brevicornis (van Douwe, 1905) and L. trisetosus pacificus n. ssp. The genus Leptocaris is newly known from Korea. Leptocaris trisetosus pacificus differs from the nominate subspecies in exhibiting a sexual dimorphism in setal armature of leg 3, that is, bearing an additional seta on the second endopodal segment of leg 3 in male and an allopatric geographical distribution. This paper deals with the description and systematic accounts of them with detailed illustrations.

우리나라에 분포하고 있는 재래꿀벌(Apis cerana)의 일벌을 대상으로 춘계 15지역 및 하계 16지역 개체군을 선발하였으며, 총 47개 정량형질에 대해 계절별, 지역별등의 요인에 의해 군분석(cluster analysis)을 실시하였다. 그 결과 각 계절별 구분은 명백하게 나타났으나, 유사도에 있어서는 인접지역간 유연관계를 계통적으로 보여주지는 않았다.

Two new records of spionid polychaetes, Malacoceros reductus Blake & Kudenov, 1978 and Pseudopolydora cf. kempi (Southern, 1921), collected from Korean waters are reported here with detailed descriptions and illustrations. Malacoceros reductus, only reported in New South Wales, Australia, is distinguishable from its relatives by a prostomium with lateral horns, reduction of chaetiger 1, and the presence of the tridentate hooded hooks. Pseudopolydora cf. kempi, which has been known to have a wide geographical distribution, is characterized by a prostomium incised anteriorly, the presence of the occipital antenna, and two rows of black spots on the dorsal side. In this paper, photographs of scanning electron microscopy for characteristic features of each species are presented.

A parasquillid stomatopod, Faughnia haani(Holthuis, 1959), collected from Jeju Island, is reported for the first time in Korea. This species is characterized by the presence of obtuse anterolateral angles of carapace, median and three pairs of longitudinal carinae on telson, and crenulate inner margin of uropodal protopod. In this paper, a detailed description and illustrations are provided. As a result of this study, the geographical distribution of the present species is extended and 15 species of stomatopods including this species are now recorded in Korean fauna. The specimen examined herein was deposited in the National Institute of Biological Resources(NIBR).

In a study of the fungal diversity on Ulleung Island in Korea, three novel strains of Penicillium were isolated. Different sites on Ulleung Island were selected for collecting endophytic fungi, and three endophytic fungal strains showed unique morphological characteristics. DNA sequence of the internal transcribed spacer, β-tubulin, calmodulin, and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit regions of the strains were analyzed and they showed unique taxonomic position from the other species of Penicillium section Sclerotiora. The new strains were named Penicillium ulleungdoense sp. nov. As the novel endophytic Penicillium taxa were discovered in a unique environment, the data could be meaningful for understanding the geographical distribution of Ascomycetes on Ulleung Island.

Ginseng has been well-known as a medicinal plant for thousands of years. Bacterial endophytes ubiquitously colonize the inside tissues of ginseng without any disease symptoms. The identification of bacterial endophytes is conducted through either the internal transcribed spacer region combined with ribosomal sequences or metagenomics. Bacterial endophyte communities differ in their diversity and composition profile, depending on the geographical location, cultivation condition, and tissue, age, and species of ginseng. Bacterial endophytes have a significant effect on the growth of ginseng through indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and siderophore production, phosphate solubilization, and nitrogen fixation. Moreover, bacterial endophytes can protect ginseng by acting as biocontrol agents. Interestingly, bacterial endophytes isolated from Panax species have the potential to produce ginsenosides and bioactive metabolites, which can be used in the production of food and medicine. The ability of bacterial endophytes to transform major ginsenosides into minor ginsenosides using β-glucosidase is gaining increasing attention as a promising biotechnology. Recently, metabolic engineering has accelerated the possibilities for potential applications of bacterial endophytes in producing beneficial secondary metabolites.

Subsocial woodroaches of Cryptocercus occur in high mountainous forests in temperate regions and they live in a family in complicated galleries of rotten logs. A prominent feature of the geographical distribution of Cryptocercus is the wide disjunction between the eastern and western species in North America, and between West China and Northeast Asia. Recently, five species of the genus were added from Asian areas and two of them are distributed in Northeast Asian areas. We examined morpho-anatomical structures of male genitalia in Manchurian and Korean Cryptocercus, focusing on male genital hooks and subgenital plates.
