Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc., a predominantly selfing annual, has been served as a reservoir of germplasm for soybean, G. max (L.) Merr., cultivar improvement. This study describes the levels and distribution of genetic variation within and among 22 Korean populations of G. soja using starch gel electrophoresis. The species maintains very similar levels of genetic variability within populations observed in most other annuals. At the population level, the mean percent of polymorphic loci (P) was 32.6%, mean number of allele per locus (A) was 1.32, and mean expected heterozygosity (He) was 0.112. In addition, total genetic diversity (HT) calculated only for polymorphic loci was 0.347. However, significant differences in allele frequencies among populations were found for all loci (P<0.001 in each case) and, on average, about 70% of the total variation in the species is common to all populations. Indirects estimate of the number of migrants per generation (Nm=0.58, calculated from mean GST) indicates that gene flow is low among Korean populations of the species. In addition, analysis of fixation indices revealed a substantial heterozygote deficiency in most populations and at all loci. This indicates that most populations sampled may have been substructed largely due to inbreeding (predominantly selfing) and restricted gene flow, coupled with founder effect and genetic drift. Considering a high genetic divergence among populations, it is recommended that several Korean populations of the species should be preserved, especially such as populations in the eastern and southeastern Korean peninsula with high variation.

Sanankerto is one of pilot projects for tourism villages in Indonesia due to its natural tourism potential with a 24-ha bamboo forest located in Boon Pring Andeman area. However, the distribution of existing bamboo has never been identified or mapped. Thus, the mana gement is facing difficulty in planning and developing tourism potential as well as spatial management in the area. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to identify and analyze the structure of bamboo vegetation in the Boon Pring Tourism village an d to perform vegetation mapping. The type of research was descriptive exploratory with a cluster sampling technique (i.e., a two-stage cluster) covering an area of ± 10 ha. Bamboo vegetation analysis was performed by calculating diversity index (H'), evenness index (E), and Species Richness index (R). Data were collected through observation and interviews with local people and the manager to determine zonation division. Mapping of bamboo vegetation based on zoning was processed into thematic maps using ArcG is 10.3. Micro climatic factors were measured with three replications for each sub -cluster. Data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. Nine species of bamboo identified. Diversity, evenness, and species richness indices differed at each location. Activities of local communities, tourists, and manager determined the presence, number, and distribution of bamboo species. These bamboo distribution maps in three zoning (utilization, buffer, and core) can be used by manager for planning and developing natural tourism potential.

The inventory list of wildlife species inhabiting or distributing in Gyeonggi Province was made by compiling species data from precedent surveys, 10 national level nature surveys, 1 survey that Gyeonggi-do conducted, and 46 local surveys presented in scientific journals. Total 2,913 wildlife species including 2,041 vascular plants, 39 mammals, 304 birds, 34 herptiles, 145 fish, and 350 benthic macro-invertebrates were listed in the inventory. It explains 47% of nationwide total species in vascular plants, 31.5% in mammals, 58.2% in birds, 65.4% in herptiles, 12.2% in fish. The total number of important species including endangered species, national monuments, national red lists, etc. was 628 species, accounting for 21.6% of all listed species in Gyeonggi Province. More than 90% of endangered bird species, almost half of endangered fish and herptile species were found in Gyeonggi Province. In particular, abundant bird diversity and inhabitation of many endangered bird species were identified in Gyeonggi Province. Species diversity was greater in the northern area adjacent to the Demilitarized Zone and the eastern forest area. The distribution of the important species such as national endangered species was more distinct in these areas, especially in Gapyeong and Yeoncheon Counties. The inventory list compiled in this study implicates the level of management for biological resources and can provide information for policy decisions regarding new survey sites, protection management of specific species and areas, management practices by spatial characteristics. It should be more compiled and updated with survey data to be utilized as basic indices for local biodiversity strategies and management of biological resources.

본 연구에서는 인공조림된 편백림을 대상으로 식생구조 및 식생천이, 종다양성의 특성을 밝히고자 전남지역의 8곳에 편백림을 대상으로 식생조사를 실시하였다. 이 식생조사 데이터를 활용하여 군집분석 및 서열분석을 실시한 결과 5개 군락으로 단순화되었다. 군락I은 다른 군락에 비해 종다양성지수가 상당히 낮았는데 이는 교목층에 우점한 편백의 수관이 울폐되어 하층식생이 발달하지 않았거나 잡초목(경쟁 자생수종) 제거로 하층식생이 거의 남아있지 않았기 때문이었다. 반면, 군락 II~IV는 하층에 다양한 자생수종이 유입되어 아교목층과 관목층에서 서로 경쟁하여 어느 정도 안정되거나 식생발달 초기라서 종다양성지수가 높은 편이었다. 마지막, 군락 V는 휴양림으로서 이용강도가 높아 식생구조가 단순하였다. 또한, 임상에 유입되는 광합성유효광과 출현종수 종다양성지수 사이에는 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 이러한 편백림의 식생구조 특성은 과거 개벌 이후 묘목심기, 솎아베기, 풀베기 등의 산림시업과 밀접하게 관련된다. 편백림의 산림시업에 의한 교란빈도와 함께 식생천이프로세스 회전시간에 따라 군락별 식생구조와 종다양성은 약간의 차이를 보였지만, 천연림에 비해 편백림은 단순한 식생구조를 보였다. 인공림은 생물다양성이 낮고 생태계 서비스가 취약하기 때문에 공익적 기능을 발휘할 수 있는 인공림으로 전환하는 한 가지 수단으로써 생태적 관리가 필요할 것이다.

Endophytic fungi strains (n = 81) were isolated from the leaves, barks, and fruits of Camellia oleifera from Hunan province (China) to delineate their species composition and potential as biological control agents of C. oleifera anthracnose. The fungi were identified by morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Fungal colonization rates of the leaves, barks, and fruits were 58.02, 27.16, and 14.81%, respectively. The isolates were identified as 14 genera, belonging to two subdivisions, Deuteromycotina and Ascomycotina; 87.65% of all isolates belonged to Deuteromycotina. The dominant species, occurring with a high relative frequency, were Pestalotiopsis sp. (14.81%), Penicillium sp. (14.81%), and Fusarium sp. (12.35%). The Simpson's and Shannon's diversity indices revealed the highest species diversity in the leaves, followed by the barks and fruits. The similarity index for the leaves versus barks comparison was the highest, indicating that the number of endophytic fungal species shared by the leaves and barks was higher than barks and fruits or leaves and fruits. Based on the results of dual culture experiments, only five strains exhibited antifungal activity against C. oleifera anthracnose pathogen, with isolate ty-64 (Oidium sp.) generating the broadest inhibition zones. Our results indicate that the endophytes associated with C. oleifera could be employed as natural agents controlling C. oleifera anthracnose.

Marine macroalgal community structures and characteristics of ocean environmental factors were examined seasonally at four sites in Jeju Island, Korea, from March to November 2012. A total of 71 macroalgal species were identified, including 9 green, 7 brown, and 55 red algae. Peyssonnelia capensis occurred at all study sites and in all seasons. The average annual biomass of seaweed was 991.84 g wet $wt/m^2$, with seasonal variations from 543.80 g in autumn to 1,284.17 $g/m^2$ in summer. A green alga, Codium coactum, was the dominant species, occupying 21.31% (211.39 $g/m^2$) of the total algal biomass in Jeju Island. Subdominant species were Ecklonia cava and Lithophyllum okamurae, comprising 20.85% (206.75 $g/m^2$) and 19.64% (194.75 $g/m^2$), respectively, of the total algal biomass in Jeju Island. The vertical distribution of subtidal seaweeds was represented by L. okamurae at 5 m depth, C. coactum at 10 m depth, E. cava at 5-10 m depth and P. capensis at the 20 m depth level. In the present study, crustose coralline algae, which predominated on barren ground, were subdominant species at all study sites. Community indices varied between 0.51-0.63 for dominance index (DI), 5.53-8.14 for richness index (R), 0.51-0.63 for evenness index (J'), and 2.04-2.32 for diversity index (H'). On the basis of seaweed biomass and community indices, Sinchang was the best preserved coastal area, showing maximal values in biomass, and evenness- and diversity-indices, and minimal value in the dominance index, representing stable environmental conditions. In contrast, the Onpyung and Topyeong sites, located near tourist venues such as Udo and Seogwipo were relatively poor habitats based on community indices and biomass. The present results could imply that climate changes alter seaweed community structure, and long-term monitoring of the study sites is required.

독도 생태 연구의 일환으로 2008-2009년 2개년간 독도의 토양을 채집하고 선충의 종류, 밀도, 식이습성군, 생태지수 등의 연구를 수행하였다. 독도에서 총 31종의 선충이 발견되었으며 평균 밀도는 $m^2$당 239,500마리(26,000-836,000)였고 biomass는 $103.9mg/m^2$(3.0-388.6)였다. 중요도는 Acrobeloides 속이 Prominence value(PV) 117.8로 가장 높았고 다음으로 Rhabditidae(PV = 81.9), Prismatolaimus(PV = 39.0), Aphelenchoides(PV = 31.4) 순이었다. Feeding Group별로는 세균성선충이 전체 선충 중에서 밀도로는 77%, biomass로는 62%를 차지하여 가장 중요한 그룹이었고 다음으로는 식물기생성선충과 식균성선충류였다. 동도 참소리쟁이에서 발견된 뿌리썩이선충은 신종으로 추정된다. 독도 선충의 생태적 분석 결과 Shannon and Wiener 지수(2.46), Simpson's diversity 지수(0.86), 종 균일도(0.73), 종 풍부성(1.30)을 볼 때 독도의 선충상은 종이 풍부하고, 다양한 것이 특징이며, 독도만의 독특한 생태계를 유지하고 있다고 하겠고 이것은 경작되지 않고 자연 그대로 보존된 원시적 환경의 특징이다. 이번의 조사 결과는 독도의 생태적 모니터링에 기초자료로 활용되어질 수 있을 것이다.

Background: Ecologists have achieved much progress in the study of mechanisms that maintain species coexistence and diversity. In this paper, we reviewed a wide range of past research related to these topics, focusing on five theoretical bodies: (1) coexistence by niche differentiation, (2) coexistence without niche differentiation, (3) coexistence along environmental stress gradients, (4) coexistence under non-equilibrium versus equilibrium conditions, and (5) modern perspectives. Results: From the review, we identified that there are few models that can be generally and confidently applicable to different ecological systems. This problem arises mainly because most theories have not been substantiated by enough empirical research based on field data to test various coexistence hypotheses at different spatial scales. We also found that little is still known about the mechanisms of species coexistence under harsh environmental conditions. This is because most previous models treat disturbance as a key factor shaping community structure, but they do not explicitly deal with stressful systems with non-lethal conditions. We evaluated the mainstream ideas of niche differentiation and stochasticity for the coexistence of plant species across salt marsh creeks in southwestern Denmark. The results showed that diversity indices, such as Shannon-Wiener diversity, richness, and evenness, decreased with increasing surface elevation and increased with increasing niche overlap and niche breadth. The two niche parameters linearly decreased with increasing elevation. These findings imply a substantial influence of an equalizing mechanism that reduces differences in relative fitness among species in the highly stressful environments of the marsh. We propose that species evenness increases under very harsh conditions if the associated stress is not lethal. Finally, we present a conceptual model of patterns related to the level of environmental stress and niche characteristics along a microhabitat gradient (i.e., surface elevation). Conclusions: The ecology of stressful systems with non-lethal conditions will be increasingly important as ongoing global-scale climate change extends the period of chronic stresses that are not necessarily fatal to inhabiting plants. We recommend that more ecologists continue this line of research.

The abundance and local distribution of birds around the three atomic power plants were studied during summer in 1998 and winter 1989. It was particularly pointed out how to determine species diversity indices, rarefaction model appeared and habitat use. During the study over 2,200 birds were censused; black-tailed gull, terek sandpipper, asian wandering tattler and australian curlew accountedfor over 76% of the observed birds in summer. Black-tailed gull, black-headed gull, mallard, ancient murrelet and tree sparrow accounted for 76% of the observed birds in winter. overall, 53 species were occurred ; 23 have been observed on yonggwang-gun, 16 used on ulchin-gun, 12 used on kyungju-gun in summer. 18 on yonggwang-gun,,14 on ulchin-gun,12 on kyungju-gun in winter respectively. These three habitats in terms of their of species richness were computed as follows; yonggwang-gun has the highest richness with an expected species number of 17.5 as the same as two season. Kyungju-gun has the lowest with an expected species number of 8.2 in summer and 11.5 in winter.
