Migratory birds, by crossing significant ecological barriers, carry and may subsequently introduce exotic seeds into new ecological zones during period of migration. The study of epizoochory, which includes seed dispersal by adhesion to bird feathers, has been relatively neglected compared to the study of seed dispersal by frugivores. To determine whether exotic seeds are being imported to stopover islands by migrating birds, and to estimate the quantity of seeds of exotic species being introduced, we examined migratory birds that were captured in mist nets for attached exotic plant diaspores in 2008 and 2009 on Hongdo Island, Korea. From a total of 3,947 birds examined, we found exotic seeds of Japanese Chaff Flowers (Achyranthes japonica) attached to three species of migratory birds (0.08%; Eurasian Bittern Botaurus stellaris, Swinhoe's Rail Coturnicops exquisitus and Oriental Turtle Dove Streptopelia orientalis). Despite the low occurrence of A. japonica seeds on the external parts of birds, the results suggest that migratory birds may be potential dispersing agents for A. japonica, a species that is currently threatening native ecosystems on many islands in Korea.

Sea temperature in the South Sea of Korea has been increased over the last decades. Seabirds are sensitive to changes in food availability in marine environment. In this study, we investigate the diet of Black-tailed gulls (Larus crassirostris) during the breeding season to identify changes of marine environment and biological response such as breeding performance in the South Sea of Korea. A total of 22 fish species or family (n = 128) from regurgitates by chicks were collected on Hongdo Island in 2002 and 2012. The most important prey item was Japanese anchovies (Engraulis japonicas). Proportion of Anchovy in diet increased in 2012 (70.5%) compared to 10 years ago (27.5%). Some species were newly found in 2012: Spotted chub mackerel (Scomber australasicus), Pacific sand lace (Ammodytes personatus), White ventral goby (Acanthogobius lactipes), Silver-strip round herring, Multicolorfin rainbowfish (Halichoeres poecilopterus), Silverside (Hypoatherina tsurugae), Surfperch (Neoditrema ransonneti) and Spotnape ponyfish (Leiognathus muchalis), but not in 2002. Especially, sub-tropic fish such as Kammal thryssa (Thryssa kammalensis), and Rosefish (Helicolenus hilgendorfi) were frequently observed in the diet of 2012. These results might reflect the increase of sea temperature in the South Sea of Korea.

본 연구는 홍도의 식생구조를 식물사회학적 방법으로 군락을 분류하고, 식생과 토양과의 상관관계를 밝히고자 구배분석을 실시하였다. 홍도의 식생은 구실잣밤나무군락, 붉가시나무군락, 후박나무군락, 소나무군락, 소사나무군락으로 구분되었다. 중요치 분석결과 구실잣밤나무가 75.56%로 가장 높았으며, 소나무 34.84%, 후박나무 29.11%, 동백나무 26.88%, 붉가시나무 17.79%, 황칠나무 15.23%, 광나무 13.41%, 소사나무 12.67% 등의 순으로 나타났다. 토양은 매우 높은 유기물과 질소함량을 보이며 표토층에서 강한 산성토양의 특성을 나타내어 우리나라의 일반 산림토양과는 다른 특성을 가지고 있었다. 유기물함량 14.48~25.45%, 전질소함량 0.49~0.90%, 유효인산함량 26.00~58.68mg/kg, 치환성양이온 $K^+$는 $0.64{\sim}1.64cmol^+/kg$, $Ca^{2+}$는 $6.22{\sim}21.51cmol^+/kg$, $Mg^{2+}$는 $2.92{\sim}6.95cmol^+/kg$, 토양 pH는 4.42~5.44인 것으로 조사되었다. DCCA를 이용한 홍도의 식생과 환경요인과의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 구실잣밤나무 군락이 수분이 가장 많은 곳에 분포하였고, 후박나무군락, 붉가시나무군락 순으로 분포하였다. 후박나무군락이 pH, 치환성양이온 $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$, 양이온치환용량 등이 가장 높은 지역에 분포하였다. 소사나무군락이 소나무군락에 비해 해발고, 전질소, 양이온치환용량, 치환성양이온 $Mg^{2+}$ 등이 높은 지역에 분포하였다.

A taxonomic study on the marine sponges was conducted with materials which were collected from Hongdo Island, Korea by SCUBA diving in September 2004. Among them, Higginsia mixta Hentschel, 1912 is newly recorded in the Korean fauna.

A new species of the genus Biemna(Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida: Desmacellidae), Biemna hongdoensis n. sp. was collected from Hongdo Island, Korea by SCUBA diving in 2004. B. hongdoensis n. sp. is closely related to B. megalosigma Hentshel, 1912 in their spicules, but the styles and sigmas of new species are larger than B. megalosigma's and microxeas and raphides of new species are smaller than B. megalosigma's. Also, new species has not spheres. The stubby conulose are distributed throughout the surface of new species.

Heuksando is an island which belongs to Shinangun, Jeonllanamdo and is located on the southwest sea of the Korean peninsula. Around this island, there are many beautiful islands which embroider the archipelago such as Hongdo, Soheuksando, Haeuido, Gageodo. However in the transportation mode we could not offer convenience to all the visitors coming to this area because access to this place can be made only by ship from Mokpo harbor. So new airport is desirable to solve this problem in this area. Therefore, this study is forecasting air transportation demand between Heuksando and several domestic places in order to give the fundamental materials not only to address the appropriateness to construct a new airport but also to determine it's size and necessary facilities.

Two species of the family Chalinidae, Haliclona (Gellius) tubulensis n. sp. and Haliclona (Gellius) marismedi were collected from Hongdo Island and Gageodo Island, Korea during 2004-2007. H. (G.) tubulensis n. sp. is closely related to H. (G.) coreana in type of spicules and growth form. But it is different in size of toxas and oscules. Toxa of H. (G.) tubulensis n. sp. is one type and its oscules are tuberculated. The toxa of H. (G.) coreana is two types and lacks projections. The overall shape and spiculation of H. (G.) marismedi are nearly identical with specimens described by Pulitzer-Finali (1977).

Two new marine sponges in family Halichondriidae, Halichondria ulleungensis n. sp. and H. hongdoenesis n. sp. are collected from Ulleungdo Island and Hongdo Island, Korea by SCUBA diving during 2003-2004. H. ulleungensis n. sp. is similar to H. corrugata Diaz, Pomponi and van Soest, 1993 in the type of spicule, but it is different in growth form and choanosomal skeleton. The growth form is encrusting, with numerous erected cylindrical tube, comparing with massive-lobate of H. corrugata. The choanosomal skeleton is confused with loosely arranged oxea tract, comparing with densely tracts with many spicules of H. corrugata. H. hongdoenesis n. sp. is similar to H. surrubicunda Hoshino, 1981 in type of spicule and growth form, but this species has two kinds (thick and thin) of oxea.
