  • Background: Ranavirus is an emerging infectious disease which has been linked to mass mortality events in various amphibian species. In this study, we document the first mass mortality event of an adult population of Dybowski's brown frogs (Rana dybowskii), in 2017, within a mountain valley in South Korea. Results: We confirmed the presence of ranavirus from all collected frogs (n = 22) via PCR and obtained the 500 bp major capsid protein (MCP) sequence from 13 individuals. The identified MCP sequence highly resembled Frog virus 3 (FV3) and was the same haplotype of a previously identified viral sequence collected from Huanren brown frog (R. huanrenensis) tadpoles in South Korea. Human habitat alteration, by recent erosion control works, may be partially responsible for this mass mortality event. Conclusion: We document the first mass mortality event in a wild Korean population of R. dybowskii. We also suggest, to determine if ranavirus infection is a threat to amphibians, government officials and researchers should develop continuous, country-wide, ranavirus monitoring programs of Korean amphibian populations.

  • The genetic variations among six species of Rana from Korea (R. nigro-maculata, R. piancyi, R. dybowskii, R. sp, R. rugosa type A, B and R. amurensis) were investigated using 499 bases of mitochondrial DNA sequences for ND2 (NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2) gene and $tRNA^{Trp}$ gene. Partial sequences of ND2 gene (427 bp) and full sequences of $tRNA^{Trp}$ gene (73 bp) were identified. The level of sequence divergences ranged from 0.2 to 5.2% within species and 4.9-28.0% among 6 species of the genus Rana. The $tRNA^{Trp}$ gene of the genus Rana was composed of 77 nucleotides which showed a two dimensional "cloverleaf" structure. The secondary structure of $tRNA^{Trp}$ was not found compensatory changes which could potentially confound phylogenetic inference. In the neighborjoining tree, brown frogs were clustered first with the level of sequence divergence of 13.20% between R. amurensis and R. dybowskii, and 9% between R. dybowskii and R. sp. supported by 99% bootstrap iterations, respectively. R. nigromaculata and R. plancyi were clustered into another group with 5.1% divergence supported by 100% bootstrap iteration. R. rugosa A 8nd B types were grouped by 4.9% divergence and clustered into the last group with other two groups with 100% bootstrap iterations.

  • Genetic relationships among six species of the genus Rana from Korea were investigated by complete nucleotide sequence analyses of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1143 bp). Based on Kimura-2-parameter distance, the interspecific sequence differences of cytochrome b gene within the genus Rana were ranged from 7.83% to 25.00%. The genetic distances were 7.83% between R. nigromaculata and R. plancyi, 8.47% between two types of R. rugosa (type A and B), 10.42% between the brown frogs (R. amurensis and R. dybowskii), 16.11% between R. dybowskii types 1 and 2 and 12.36% between pond frogs (R. nigromaculata and R. plancyi) and R. catesbeiana. In the neighbor-joining and parsimony trees, R. catesbeiana was more closely related to pond frogs than brown frogs. R. dybowskii types 1 and 2 were considered to be at a distinct and specific level of differentiation (16.11%), while two types of R. rugosa were suspected to be at a subspecific level (8.47%).

  • The nucleotide sequences of a 504 bp segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene were analyzed to survey the intraspecific variation of the brown frog, Rana dybowskii, collected from nine populations in South Korea. Comparisons of sequence divergence of the cytochrome b gene suggest that the populations examined are clearly classified into two types (type 1 and type 2), diverged from each other by a high value of 14.3-15.9% sequence divergence. The two types are distributed allopatrically in most populations, but only one population occurs sympatrically. In the Tonghae population, their spawning grounds differ in that type 1 spawns in the puddle and type 2 spawns in the mountain creek. Based on the genetic divergences of the cytochrome b gene sequences, the phylogenetic status of Korean R. dybowskii is elucidated by comparing it with related brown frogs distributed in an area adjacent to the Korean Peninsula. Interspecific sequence divergences among type 1, type 2 and other related brown frog species (Russian R. dybowskii, R. pirica, R. ornativentris, R. chensinensis: 2n=24 chromosomes) used in this study ranged from 11.7 to 16.3%. R. dybowskii in Tsushima is very similar to our type 1 (sequence divergence=0-1.6%) and R. chensinensis in western China is closest to our type 2 (sequence divergence=6.8-7.5%).

  • 포배단계의 북미산 표범개구리 Rana pipiens의 핵을 북방산개구리 Rana dybowskii의 무핵 수정란에 이식하여 형성되는 nucleocytoplasmic hybrids 개체는 낭배운동을 전후하여 모두 치사한다. 치사조합 개체의 발생수행능력의 증진을 위하여 치사직전의 핵을 취하여 북방산개구리의 무핵 수정란에 계대핵치환 시킨 결과 제 1대 핵치환의 경우와 마찬가지로 낭배기를 전후하여 치사하는 것으로 나타나 발생수행능력의 커다란 증진은 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 15대까지 계대핵치환이 진행되는 동안 초기낭배 까지의 발생은 일정비율로 진행되므로 영속적인 DNA의 복제와 세포분열은 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 한편 종간핵치환된 개체의 상당수에서 비정상적인 형태를 가진 염색체와 수에 이상이 일어났음이 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 염색체의 이상은 정상 개체로 이식된 조직이 치사되는 점으로 미루어 영구적인 변화로 보이며 이로 인한 비정상적인 유전자의 활동이 개체를 발생의 초기단계에서 치사시키는 것으로 사료된다.

  • 양서류 초기발생기작을 밝히기 위하여 참개구리와 산개구리의 수정난을 재료로 수정 이후 제 1분열 사이를 여러 등분하여 $180^\\circ$ 역위시켰다. 역위에 대한 반응은 종에 따라 매우 달라서 제1난할면과 난할양상의 차이가 현저하였다. 참개구리 역위난이 중력의 반대방향인 원래의 식물극에서 제1분열ㅇ이 시작되어 동물극쪽으로 진행된 반면, 산개구리 역위난은 정상난과 마찬가지로 원래의 동물극에서 제1분열면이 관찰되었다. 난할양상도 매우 달라서 참개구리 역위난의 경우 식물반구의 할구들이 동물반구의 것에 비해 훨씬 작게 뒤바뀌어 나타난 반면, 산개구리의 경우는 난할양상이 거의 변하지 않고 정상난과 동일하였다. 역위난의 조직학적 검사에 의하면 역위에 대한 반응이 종에 따라 상이한 이유는 핵과 난황립과 같은 수정난의 내용물의 재배치가 일어나는 정도가 다른 데 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.

  • 활동기와 동면기에서 산개구리의 위상관내분비세포를 면역조직화학적으로 비교 관찰하였던 바, 5-HT, somatostatin, glucagon, Gas/CCK, Porcine CG 및 BPP 등 6종류의 내분비세포를 동정하였으며, 동면기의 산개구리 위장관에서는 활동기에 비해 내분비세포의 부위별 분포 및 출현빈도에 있어서 특징적인 소견을 관찰할 수 있었다. 즉 면역반응세포의 출현빈도는 동면기에서 현저하게 높았으며, 부위별 출현분포 특히, glucagon-, Gas/CCK-와 BBP-면역반응세포들은 활동기에 비해 동면기의 소화관에 보다 더 광범위하게 출현하였다. 항혈청에 대한 대부분의 내분비세포들은 동면기에서 보다 더 강한 면역반응을 나타내었으며, 특히 위저선부에서 내분비세포들은 표층점막상피의 바로 아래에 위치해 있었다. 이상의 결과에서 산개구리의 위장관내분비세포들은 동면기에서도 활발한 장호르몬을 합성하고 그들의 세포질내 축적되어지는 것으로 시사된다.

  • Since specific types and physical characteristics of anuran calls can represent reproductive qualities of a calling male, anuran calls have been studied in context of mate choice. We in here report call types of Rana dybowskii and their variations from two different recording sites. Calls of R. dybowskii are classified to three types based on their physical characteristics and behavioral observations; 'A-call'functions to advertise locations of a calling male and to attract potential mates. A territorial male emits 'B-call'only during male-male interaction. 'C -call'is released when a male frog was clasped by another male. The A-call from two recording sites, Miwon and Wonju, shows high variations in their call characteristics.

  • The present study investigated the involvement of the phospholipase C (PLC) and protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathways during progesteroneinduced meiotic maturation in amphibian (Rana dybowskii) oocytes. Prosesterone-induced germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) of oocytes was significantly inhibited by a PKC inhibitor, staurosporine and a PLC inhibitor, U73122, in a dose-dependent manner. In contrast, U73343, an inactive analogue of U73122, was ineffective in suppressing GVBD. PKC activity in oocytes reached a maximum level at 30 min after progesterone stimulation and this elevated PKC activity was effectively suppressed by U73122 or staurosporine, suggesting that the activation of PKC enzyme is closely linked to PLC signaling during oocyte maturation. In addition, these inhib itors blocked the maturation promoting factor (MPF) activity which appeared in oocytes in response to progesterone, suggesting that PKC activation is an important signal for MPF activity. Therefore, this study demonstrates that the activation of PKC via PLC signaling is directly linked to an intracellular protein kinase cascade related to the appearance of MPF activity during meiotic maturation in amphibian (Rana dybowskii) oocytes.

  • 북방산개구리의 산란특성 및 발생과정을 연구하기 위하여 1998년 2월 중순에서 3월말까지 경기도, 경상북도, 강원도를 중심으로 남한의 전지역을 대상으로 표본을 채집하였다. 북방산개구리의 산란시기는 2월말에서 3월말사이에 주로 이루어지며, 산란장소는 정수지와 유수지를 모두 선택하나 유수지에 산란하는 경우 알의 형태는 뭉쳐진 불규칙한 공 모양으로 돌이나 수초와 같은 기질에 부착하며, 정수지의 경우 타원형의 계란모양을 이루고 기질에 부착하지 않는다. 발생과정은 산란 후 일주일이 지나면 대부분 부화하고 71일이 경과하면 전 발생과정을 완료한다. 발생과정이 비교적 짧은 것은 먹이원이 풍부한 계절에 적극적인 포식활동을 위한 것으로 판단된다.
