  • 내륙산 관박쥐와 제주산 관박쥐간의 동-종 여부를 조사하기 위하여 경남과 제주에서 채집한 이들 관박쥐들을 핵형분석하였다. 핵형분석의 결과, 2종 모두 염색체수는 2n=58이었으며 FN도 62였다. 상염색체에서는 중형의 2쌍과 미세형 1쌍이 중부염색체(metacentrics)였고, 대형에서 소형까지는 25쌍이 단부염색체facrocentrics)이었다. 성염색체에서 X염색체는 대형의 차중부염색체(submetacentrics)였고, Y염색체는 소형의 단부염색체(acrocentrics)이었다. 그리고 이들 염색체들은 동원체 부근에 이질염색체을 가지는 특이한 1쌍의 단부염색체(acrocentrics)가 존재하고 있었다. in this study, We analysed the karyotypes of the inland bat(Rhinolox)thus femequinum hora) and the Cheju-Island bat(Rhinorophus ferrumequinum quelpartis(\ulcorner)) collected in Kyungnam and Cheju provinces to identify the homogeneous between them. The results are as follows. The diploid number of chromosomes of them are equally 58 and the fundamental number 62. In the autosomes, metacentrics consist of two pairs of the middle form and a pair of the micro-form. And acrocentrics have 25 pairs of large and small form. In sex-chromosomes, X-chromosome is a large submetacentrics and Y is a small acrocentrics. And, these chromosomes possess a pair of particular acrocentrics having heterochromatin around centromere in both the inland bat(Rhinolophus fenmequinum korai ) and Cheju-Island bat(Rhinolophus fewmequinum querporis (\ulcorner)).

  • To understand the fine structure of Korean bat livers , the authors investigated the liver of four Korean bats; Rhinolephus ferrumequinum korai, Myotis macrodactylus, Myotis dauhentonii ussrinesis, and Murina leucogaster intermedia by transmission electron microscopy. The hepatocytes of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum korai had large-sized mitochondria and many peroxisomes. In the Myotis macrodactylus, juctional completes, especially desmosomes, were well developed. The Myotis daubentonii ussrinesis had many glycogen particles in the cytoplasm. Also, the space of Disse and sinusoidal spare was filled with amorphous materials. In the Murina leucogaster intemedia, basement membrane was prominent in the sinusoid, and no Kupffer and Ito cells were observed These results suggest the characteristic differences in the liver ultrastructure among Korean bats.

  • Purpose: This study was done to understand the visual system of bat by analyzing the distribution of middle/long (ML) opsin cone photoreceptors in the retina of the greater horseshoe bat. Methods: Experiments have been performed by standard immunocytochemical techniques on retina of the greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum. Results: The estimated numbers of ML cones were $27,336{\pm}2,130$ cells and the mean density of them was $7,854{\pm}268cells/mm^2$ among the four retinas. S opsin was appeared a little immunoreactivity in the outer segments of outer nuclear layer of cones. Conclusions: From the well organized spatial distributions of ML opsin and the immunoreactivity of S opsin in the retinas, the greater horseshoe bats have the functions not only reacting in the photopic vision but being able to distinguish the colors.

  • To understand whether the bats inhabiting in Korea play role as hosts harboring Hantavirus that cause acute febrile diseases, a total number of 802 bats of 9 species were collected from seven provinces in Korea from 1989 to 1995 and tested for the presence of antibodies to Hantavirus by means of immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) technique. The results are summarized as follow. 1. Total 802 captured bats were classified into 9 different species with the following distribution. They were Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Eptesicus serotinus, Miniopterus sehreibersii, Vespertilio superans, Myotis mystatinus, Murina leucogaster, Myotis formosus, Myotis macrodactylus and Plecotus auritus with numbers and rates of 423 (52.74%), 291 (36.28%), 47 (5.86%), 28 (3.49%), 8 (1.00%), 1 (0.12%) and 1 (0.12%), respectively. The predominant species of the bats was Rhinolophus ferrumequinum with 52.74% of the captured. 2. Among 9 species of bats, species of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and Eptesicus serotinus were positive with Hantavirus antibody of strain numbers 76-118. The rate of antibody positive was 3.78%. 3. The seasonal differences of Hantavirus antibody in 802 bats tested were 5.83%, 4.17%, 3.67% and 0.64% in winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively. Again the highest viral antibody prevalence was detected in winter. It could be concluded through the study that certain species of bats inhabiting in Korea play a definite role as the host animals of certain species of Hantavirus.

  • Geographical isolation may lead to the populations having different ecological characteristics. Geographic isolation have been known to cause echolocation call differences in bats. In order to look at geographic differences of echolocation calls of Great Horseshoe Bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum), populations of inland and Jeju island habitats were examined in Korea. The study areas were some abandoned mines in the inland and caves of Jeju island, which were known as rest sites of Great Horseshoe Bats during the active season. Recording was done in two ways: Hand-held, Free-flying. Recording pulse was analyzed into five parameters: Maximum Frequency (FMAX), Minimum Frequency (FMIN), Peak Frequency (PF), Duration (D), Inter pulse Interval (IPI). Interestingly, The present study shows that the difference in echolocation between the inland and island populations. The PF of bats inhabited inland was 69 kHz. but, the PF of bats inhabited island (Jeju) was 71 kHz. There was a difference between regions. Discriminant analyses also showed clear difference between the inland and the island populations. Especially, PF of Korea population is lower than that of Europe (82 kHz) and higher than that of Japan (65 kHz).

  • 한국산 관박쥐(Rhinolophusfewmequinum Jroma의 웅성생식 pattern을 알아보기 위하여 정소의 형태변화와 세정관 정상피의 1년주기를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 정자형성은 5월에 시작되어 10월말에 완료되었다. 7월초부터 10월중순까지는 정자변태과정이며, 정자형성과정의 활성도가 가장 높은 달은 8월 중순경이었다. 또한 교미가 끝난 11월경부터 세정관내에는 미성숙한 정자세포가 Sertoli cell의 식작용과정의 일환으로 포식되어졌고, 91년 12월부터 92년 1월, 2월, 3월, 그리고 동면각성기인 4월의 실험군에서도 역시 점진적으로 식작용 과정을 관찰할 수 있었다. 교미가 끝난 후의 세정관 내에는 새로운 정자를 만들기 위한 준비단계로서 미성숙된 정자들이 Sertoli cell의 식작용에 의해 정화(cleaning)되므로 이 기간을 정화기간(cleaning time)이라 볼 수 있다. 따라서 정소내 세정관의 1년 주기를 볼 때 정화기간은 동면 개시기인 11월부터 익년 4월까지 약 6개월에 걸쳐 이루어 진다. 이상의 결과로 볼때, 정자형성은 동면각성 직후부터 시작하여 10월경에 완료되며 교미개시기에는 정지되고, 동면기 동안 정자형성이 일어나지 않는 점으로 보아 한국산 관박쥐는 'Pipistnfluspottem'에 속한다고 할 수 있다.
