The genus Semisulcospira is an economically and ecologically valuable freshwater resource. Among the species, Semisulcospira coreana, Semisulcospira forticosta and Semisulcospira tegulata are endemic to the Korean peninsula and Semisulcospira gottschei is widespread in Asia. Therefore, maintenance and conservation of wild populations of these snails are important. We investigated the genetic diversity and population structure of Semisulcospira based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4), and combined mitochondrial DNA (COI + ND4) sequences. All four species and various genetic makers showed a high level of haplotype diversity and a low level of nucleotide diversity. In addition, Fu's Fs and Tajima's D neutrality tests were performed to assess the variation in size among populations. Neutrality tests of the four species yielded negative Fu's Fs and Tajima's D values, except for populations with one haplotype. The minimum spanning network indicated a common haplotype for populations of S. coreana, S. tegulata and S. gottschei, whereas S. forticosta had a rare haplotype. Also, genetic differences and gene flows between populations were assessed by analysis of molecular variance and using the pairwise fixation index. Our findings provided insight into the degree of preservation of the species' genetic diversity and could be utilized to enhance the management of endemic species.

미토콘드리아 게놈에 존재하는 시토크롬C 산화효소 서브유닛 I (cytochrome C oxidase subunit I, COI) 유전자의 DNA 염기서열을 기반으로 하는 종 판별은 수산물 자원의 지속적인 개발과 어류 다양성 보존을 위해 폭넓게 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국에서 소비되는 옥돔과 가짜 옥돔으로 둔갑하는 옥두어의 종 판별을 위한 분석법을 개발하였다. 옥돔과 옥두어, 두 종의 종 판별과 검증을 위해 미토콘드리아 게놈의 DNA 염기서열 차이를 이용하여 real-time PCR법에 의해 분석하였다. 미토콘드리아 DNA 서열의 생물정복학적 분석에서 옥돔과 형태학적 옥돔 유사종인 옥두어, 두 종 사이에 COI 유전자 내에서 상당히 유사한 DNA 서열 부분과 일부 서열 변화 부분이 확인되었다. 명확하게 종 판별을 하기 위해 COI 유전자 내에서 일부 변화된 서열에서 종 특이적 프라이머를 디자인하였다. 10 개체의 옥돔과 옥두어에서 게놈 DNA을 추출하여 옥돔과 옥두어의 종 특이적 프라이머를 이용하여 real-time PCR 시스템에 의해 분석되었다. 이러한 real-time PCR 시스템을 이용한 genomic DNA 기반의 분자 기술은 동물 조직의 분류학적 분류를 위한 신뢰할 수 있는 방법을 제공한다. 옥돔판별을 위해, 옥돔 DNA에서 옥돔 종 특이적 프라이머를 이용한 Ct 평균값($21.85{\pm}3.599$)과 옥두어 DNA에서 옥돔 종 특이 프라아머를 이용한 Ct 평균값($33.49{\pm}1.183$) 차이를 나타내었다. 그리고 옥두어판별을 위해, 옥두어 DNA에서 옥두어 종 특이적 프라이머를 이용한 Ct 평균값($22.49{\pm}0.908$)과 옥돔 DNA에서 옥두어 종 특이 프라아머를 이용한 Ct 평균값($33.93{\pm}0.479$)을 통해 옥돔과 옥두어의 각 종 특이 프라이머의 효율성, 특이성 및 교차 반응성 측정은 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여 주었다. 제안된 방법은 10개의 상용 샘플로 검증이 되었다. 따라서, threshold cycle (Ct) value와 같은 real-time PCR 결과 분석에 의해 종 판별이 가능하였다.

Some euryalid specimens were collected with fishing nets from Mipo, Gyungsangnamdo and Aewol, Jejudo Island, Korea. They were identified as Gorgonocephalus eucnemis (${M\ddot{u}ller}$ & Troschel, 1842), belonging to family Gorgonocephalidae of order Euryalida, which was new to the Korean fauna. Their molecular analyses were done with newly intended COI primers of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene for the accurate molecular identification. The Korean G. eucnemis was coincident with this NCBI species as a result of Blast analysis, which showed the 99% similarity. In the current study, three Gorgonocephalus species have been reported from Korea.

The phylogenetic analysis was carried out to find out the validity of Chrysochroa coreana as a new species. The insect specimens were collected at Kaohsiung, Taiwan and Shizuoka, Japan. Partial region (532 bp) of COI was amplified and sequenced. The sequences were aligned and then analyzed. Based on the Kimura-2-parameter method, we calculated genetic distances among them. It indicated that the Korean individual of C. fulgidissima was closely related to Taiwan one with relatively low genetic distance (0.083). On the other hand, the Japanese individual was remotely related with those of Korean (0.192) and Taiwan (0.183) individuals. To clarify if the populations of C. fulgidissima from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan are different at the level(s) of subspecies, species, or genus, it is necessary that more samples of the members of the family Buprestidae should be collected and genetically analyzed.

The Antarctic freshwater copepod, Boeckella poppei (Mrazek, 1901), has the widest range of distribution extending from southern South America to Antarctic continent, among all Boeckella species. Boeckella poppei is the only freshwater copepod known to be inhabiting the Antarctic continent. In present study, we analyzed the DNA barcodes of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of B. poppei from King George Island, Antarctica. The intraspecific genetic distances varied from 0% to 13% and interspecific genetic distances ranged from 11% to 14%. The overlap of DNA barcode gap suggests careful threshold-based delimitation of species boundaries.

Araeosoma owstoni Mortensen, 1904, a newly recorded sea urchin, was collected from the Korea Strait by trawling during a research expedition in April 2017. The specimen was damaged and was severely peeled off on the aboral side during trawling. However, a test and the surface of the oral side of the sample were well preserved, allowing us to successfully identify it. The species was distinguished by the large and flexible test, the tiny apical section, and the interambulacra width which is twice of the ambulacra. Pedicellaria tridentate and triphyllous were presents, but tetradactyle pedicellaria was absent due to severe peeling on the aboral side. Moreover, a length of 1,212 bp sequence from mitochondrial COI gene was obtained and this sequence covered the general DNA barcoding region. The mean of interspecific divergence within A. owstoni from Korea and other eight species of Araeosoma from the GenBank was 6.8%. This value indicated that our species was clearly distinguishable from the others. Thus, the first Araeosoma species occurring in South Korea is presented in this study.

Kushia zosteraphila Harris V.A. & Iwasaki, 1996 is newly collected and described from macroalgae in the intertidal region of Gijang-gun, along the southeastern coastal region of Korea. Kushia zosteraphila can be distinguished from congeners by following morphological characteristics: the length of the first dorsal seta similar with the second dorsal seta of female P5, the length to width ratio of the female caudal ramus, and the presence of a conspicuous comb on the accessory lobe of the male antennule. Although there are some minor discrepancies, the main diagnostic characteristics of the specimen from the study area are well-matched with the original description. We herein provide detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations of this species. According to a survey of the location of the reported porcellidiid species in Korea, this specimen is the second record in Korean waters of the genus Kushia. A key to species of the family Porcellidiidae in Korea is provided. A partial sequence of the mitochondrial COI gene was obtained and provided as a DNA barcode for this species.

Two land snails, Aegista chejuensis (Pilsbry and Hirase, 1908) and Plectotropis quelpartensis (Pilsbry and Hirase, 1908), are endemic to Korea and were collected from Hataedo and Jodo Islands in the Yellow Sea of South Korea, respectively. Many terrestrial snail habitats have been confirmed in Korea; however, their genetic sequences have rarely been reported. This study describes the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) sequences of two species, followed by an analysis of the genetic distance between these two species and their congeners. As a result, there was no intra-species variation in both species A. chejuensis or P. quelpartensis. However, the inter-species variation was clear (10.3-31.5%). We provide photographs and a brief diagnosis for morphological verification.

메타고니무스속 흡충의 형태학적인 차이점은 잘 알려져 있으나 이러한 미세한 형태학적 차이로 종을 분류할 수 있을 지에 대해서는 의문시되어 왔다. 이 연구는 비교적 유전자 염기서열이 잘 보존되어 있 어 종간 또는 strain간의 차이를 밝힐 수 있는 리보솜리보핵산 유전자 중 ITSI 유전자와 사립체 COI 유전자를 중합효소반응으로 증폭시킨 후 제한효소로 소화시켜 나타나는 밴드의 차이를 관찰하였다 요 코가와흡충 (M. yokogawai)의 피 낭유충은 삼척산 은어에서 , 미야타흡충 (Metagonim Miyata type) 은 충주산 피라미에서, 타카하시홉충 (M. tnkqhqsrii)은 충주산 붕어에서 분리하여 사용하였다. 세 종류 충체에서 얻은 ml 유전자 증폭산물은 제한효소 Rsc I, Ak I 및 Msp I에 의해 서로 다른 크기의 밴드 로 소화되었다. 세 종류 충체의 사립체 COI 유전자 증폭산물도 Rsc I과 AIu I에 의해 서로 다른 양상으로 잘라졌다. 추정 유전자 차이 (estimated genetic divergence)는 미야타홉충과 요코가와흡충이 0.034880, 요코가와흡충과 타카하시홉충이 0.018179, 미야타흡충과 타카하시흡충이 0.028098 이었다. 이 결과로 보면 미야타흡충은 별개의 종으로 볼 수 있으며,다른 충체보다 이른 시기에 진화하였음 을 알 수 있다.
