기후변화에 따른 양서류 번식계절학 및 양서류 군집다양성 변동에 대한 연구는 다수 수행되었지만, 개별 종의 번식개체군 크기의 변동에 대한 연구결과는 여전히 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화가 국내 산간계곡에서 번식하는 무미류인 계곡산개구리(Rana huanrenensis)와 유미류인 도롱뇽(Hynobius leechii) 번식개체군 크기에 영향을 미치는지를 평가하기 위하여 2005년부터 2012년 사이 8년간의 야외개체군 변동과 주변 기후변화 요인들과의 관련성을 분석하였다. 야외에서 두 종은 각각 약 3.5년을 주기로 번식개체군의 크기가 증감하고 있었다. 특별히, 도롱뇽 번식개체군의 크기는 8년에 걸쳐 유의하게 감소하였다. 기후요인들 중, 기온은 계곡산개구리, 강수량은 도롱뇽 번식개체군의 크기와 더 밀접한 관련성을 가지고 있었다. 특별히, 해당지역에서는 8년에 걸쳐 년간평균최고기온 및 봄철평균일교차가 일관되게 감소하였으며, 후자는 도롱뇽 번식개체군 크기의 의미 있는 감소와 관련되었다. 이러한 결과는 최근의 기후변화가 산간계곡에서 번식하는 국내 양서류, 특별히 도롱뇽, 번식개체군 크기의 감소로 직접적으로 이어질 수 있음을 보여준다.

In mathematical population ecology which is an academic field that studies how populations of biological species change as times flows at specific locations in their habitats, PDE models have been studied in many aspects and found to have different properties from the classical ODE models. And different approaches to PDE type models in mathematical biology are still being tried currently. This article investigate various forms to express diffusion effects and review the history of PDE models involving diffusion terms in mathematical ecology. Semi-linear systems representing the spatial movements of each individual as random simple diffusion and quasi-linear systems describing more complex diffusions reflecting interspecific interactions are studied. Also it introduce a few of important problems to be solved in this field.

Cooperative behavior may seem contrary to the notion of natural selection and adaptation, but is widely observed in nature, from the genetic level to the organism. The origin and persistence of cooperative behavior has long been a mystery to scientists studying evolution and ecology. One of the important research topics in the field of evolutionary ecology and behavioral ecology is to find out why cooperation is maintained over time. In this paper we take a historical overview of mathematical models representing cooperative relationships from the perspective of mathematical biology, which studies population dynamics between interacting biological groups, and analyze the mathematical characteristics and meanings of these cooperative models.

Understanding the carrying capacity of a habitat is crucial for effectively managing populations of wild boars (Sus scrofa), which are designated as harmful wild animal species in national parks. Carrying capacity refers to the maximum population size supported by a park's environmental conditions. This study aimed to estimate the appropriate wild boar population size by integrating population characteristics and habitat suitability for wild boars in the Bukhansan National Park using the HexSim program. Population characteristics included age, survival, reproduction, and movement. Habitat suitability, which reflects prospecting and resource acquisition, was determined using the Maximum Entropy model. This study found that the optimal population size for wild boar ranged from 217 to 254 individuals. The population size varied depending on the amount of resources available within the home range, indicating fewer individuals in a larger home range. The estimated wild boar population size was 217 individuals for the minimum amount of resources (50% minimum convex polygon [MCP] home range), 225 individuals for the average amount of resources (95% MCP home range), and 254 individuals for the maximum amount of resources (100% MCP home range). The results of one-way analysis of variance revealed a significant difference in wild boar population size based on the amount of resources within the home range. These findings provide a basis for the development and implementation of effective management strategies for wild boar populations.

The aim of this study was to investigate on characteristics of sociological and demographic population, marital conflicts and expectations to family counselors' cultural competence surrounding factors of cultural adaptation among immigrated women. This study conducted a survey of 236 immigrated women in Kyonggi province, Seoul metropolitan cities, Cholla and Chunchung provinces and Incheon. The results of this study are as follows: First, a relatively few marital conflicts were found, as a whole, while they had the high levels of expectation to family counselors' cultural competence. Second, immigrated women can be clustered as three different types: 'multiplicity type', 'undifferentiated type' and 'adaptation type'. Third, sociological and demographic population characteristics which were subdivided and clustered according to cultural adaptation made the significant difference between each population. Population with multiplicity type out of the above-stated three types accounted for the highest conflict rates, while population with 'adaptation' type accounted for the lowest conflict rates. Lastly, expectations to family counselors' cultural competence made the significant difference among each population. Population with multiplicity type showed the highest expectation levels on expectations to family counselors' cultural competence, while population with undifferentiated type showed the lowest levels.

일정 영역에 서식하는 생물 종의 개체 수가 변화하는 역학적 과정을 이해하고 실질적인 예측을 하는데 도움을 주는 여러가지 수학적 모델이 현재 수학과 생태학 분야에서 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 영국의 경제학자 Malthus가 1798년부터 시작하여 1826년까지 출간한 An Essay on the Principle of Population에서 제안했던 세계인구 변화 모델과 1845년 Verhulst의 한계수용모델은 개체 수 변화에 대한 초기 수학적 모델로서 지수적 형태에 기초한 것이었다. 수리생물학으로 불리는 학문분야는 1920년경 Lotka의 연구에서 본격적으로 시작되었다고 할 수 있다. 이때부터 여러 가지 다양한 수학적 모델들이 제안되어지고 검증되어져 왔다. 이 논문에서는 주로 상미분방정식(ordinary differential equations)으로 표현되는 단일 생물종에 대한 개체 수 변화모델들을 살펴본다.

This study aims to enhance the life satisfaction of the elderly population in South Korea by exploring their satisfaction levels and identifying influencing factors. Utilizing data from the 17th Korean Welfare Panel, which includes 6,260 individuals aged 65 and older, this study employs independent sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analysis. The results showed that, in general, the life satisfaction of the elderly population was somewhat lower than that of the general adult population in all areas, except for job satisfaction and satisfaction with housing. Key factors influencing life satisfaction among the elderly population include demographic characteristics (gender, age, economic activity, residence, education level), subjective health status factors, financial factors (disposable income, monthly living expenses), and psychological factors (depression, self-esteem). Notably, psychological factors, particularly self-esteem and depression, profoundly affect all life satisfaction domains. Enhancing life satisfaction necessitates fostering positive self-perception and capabilities in the elderly population, suggesting the need for programs focused on positive emotional experiences. Moreover, depression significantly reduces life satisfaction, underscoring the importance of policy interventions to address negative emotions in this demographic. This study is expected to provide basic data for establishing concrete and effective policies for improving the quality of life for the elderly population. Additionally, by highlighting the importance of positive psychological factors, it is anticipated that the study will offer a new direction for improving the life satisfaction of the elderly population.
