The Euglena deses group are common freshwater species composed of E. adhaerens, E. carterae, E. deses, E. mutabilis, and E. satelles. These species are characterized by elongated cylindrical worm-like cell bodies and numerous discoid chloroplasts with a naked pyrenoid. To understand the cryptic diversity, species delimitation and phylogenetic relationships among members of the group, we analyzed morphological data (light and scanning electron microscopy) and molecular data (nuclear small subunit [SSU] and large subunit [LSU] rDNAs and plastid SSU and LSU rDNAs). Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses based on the combined four-gene dataset resulted in a tree consisting of two major clades within the group. The first clade was composed of two subclades: the E. mutabilis subclade, and the E. satelles, E. carterae, and E. adhaerens subclade. The E. mutabilis subclade was characterized by a lateral canal opening at the anterior end and a single pellicular stria, whereas the E. satelles, E. carterae, and E. adhaerens subclade was characterized by an apical canal opening at the anterior end of the cell and double pellicular striae. The second clade consisted of 20 strains of E. deses, characterizing by a subapical canal opening at the anterior end and double pellicular striae, but they showed cell size variation and high genetic diversity. Species boundaries were tested using a Bayesian multi-locus species delimitation method, resulting in the recognition of five cryptic species within E. deses clade.

충북 청원군 일대에서 휘파람새 6 개체에 대하여 군집내 인 청원군집의 song과 군집외 인 제주개체의 song을 이용하여 playback실험을 실시하였다. 실험의 대상개체는 모두 다두 군집의 song에 대하여 강한 반응을 보였으나 군집 사이에 대하여 통계적으로 의미 있는 차이를 나타내지는 않았다. 이러한 결과는 청원군집내의 개체간의 먼 간격으로 인하여 이웃 개체간의 적은 상호작용에서 기인되어지는 것으로 판단된다. Song의 부분들이 song의 인식에 기여하는 정도를 파악하기 위하여, 휘파람새 song의 whistle 부분과 complex syllsble 부분을 이용하여 playback실험을 실시하였다. Complex syllable 부분에 대한 반응의 정도가 whistle 부분에 비하여 의미 있게 높았으며, 이러한 것은 song의 특정한 부분이, complex syllable, 개체의 song인식에 필요한 주된 정보를 담고 있다는 'releaser '가설을 지지하는 결과로 나타났다.

In this paper, we propose a system that recognizes weed images using a classifier based on ResNeXt model. On the server of the proposed system, the ResNeXt model extracts the fine features of the weed images sent from the user and classifies it as one of the most similar weeds out of 21 species. And the classification result is delivered to the client and displayed on the smartphone screen through the application. The experimental results show that the proposed weed recognition system based on ResNeXt model is superior to existing methods and can be effectively applied in the real-world agriculture field.

DNA barcoding is becoming a widely applied tool to accurately discriminate red algae. We tested the effectiveness of DNA barcoding for identification and discovery of Champia species in Korea and clarified the phylogenetic relationships using the plastid rbcL gene. As results, we described four species of Champia such as C. inkyua sp. nov., C. recta Noda, C. bifida Okamura, and C. expansa Yendo. A new species, C. inkyua, is characterized by entangled thallus, terete and irregular branches, hooked apices, and longitudinal filaments running throughout the frond periphery only. Longitudinal filaments were composed of a complete cell with two half cells between diaphragms in the cavity. C. recta and C. bifida were reinstated with previously used names of C. parvula and C. compressa, respectively. C. recta is the first recorded species from Korea and is characterized by an erect thallus, terete and irregular branches, and straight apices. C. bifida is characterized by compressed thallus, pinnate or alternate branches, and bifid apices. C. expansa is characterized by flabellate thallus and dichotomous branches. Molecular analyses of COI and rbcL genes revealed sufficient sequence divergence to warrant species recognition in the genus Champia.

Since Darwin and Wallace introduced the concept on the evolution of species, scientists have been furiously debating what species are, and how to define them. This basic yet intriguing question has bothered us ever since, as communicating to fellow biologists about fungal species is the very cornerstone of mycology. For the species presently known, this has largely been accomplished via Latin binomials linked to morphology in the absence of DNA barcodes. In recent years mycologists have embraced the ribosomal ITS as official barcode region for Fungi, and this locus is also mainly used in environmental pyrosequencing studies. Furthermore, DNA data can now also be used to describe sterile species in the absence or lack of distinct morphological structures. Recent developments such as the registration of names in MycoBank, and linking the phenotype to the genotype, have significantly changed the face of fungal systematics. By employing the Consolidated Species Concept, incorporating genealogical concordance, ecology and morphology, robust species recognition is now possible. Several international initiatives have since built on these developments, such as the DNA barcoding of holdings of Biological Resource Centres, followed by the Genera of Fungi Project, aiming to recollect, and epitypify all type species of all genera. What these data have revealed, is that most genera are poly- and paraphyletic, and that morphological species normally encompass several genetic entities, which may be cryptic species. Once we provide a stable genetic backbone capturing our existing knowledge of the past 250 years, we will be able to accommodate novelties obtained via environmental sequencing platforms. Being able to communicate these species to other biologists in a clear manner that is DNA-based, will enable scientists to elucidate the importance, role and ecological interactions that these fungi have on our planet.

한국 및 일본산 버들치속 어류의 유전적 변이, 종의 분류학적 위치 및 계통변화를 구명하기 위하여 전기영동법을 이용, 26개 유전자를 검출 분석하였다. 버들치속 어류의 평균 유전적 변이 정도는 타 어류군에 비하여 낮은 편이었다. 분류상 문제시 되어 오던 한국산 M. lagowskii와 M. oxycephalus 및 일본산 M. steindachneri와 M. jouyi는 각 종 특유의 genetic markers를 갖고 있어 각기 독립된 별종으로 확인되었다. M. lagowskii의 분포지역인 경포호집단은 유전적으로 뚜렷한 차이가 있고 형태적 특징으로 보아 M. percnurus로 추정된다. 각 종의 분화연대를 추정한 결과 이들은 선신세후기에서 홍종세 초기에 걸처 종분화가 되었고, 고 Amur 하 수계를 통하여 이주, 분포한 것으로 추측된다.

Recently, development of deep learning has shown better image classification result than human. According to recent research, a hidden layer of deep learning is deeper, and a preservation of extracted features shows good results. However, in the case of general images, the extracted features are clear and easy to sort. This study aims to classify plant leaf images. This plant leaf image has high similarity in each image. Since plant leaf images have high similarity not only between images of different species but also within the same species, classification accuracy is not increased by simply extending the hidden layer or connecting the layers. Therefore, in this paper, we tried to improve the hidden layer of the algorithm called DenseNet which shows the recent excellent classification results, and compare the results of several different modified layers. The proposed method makes it possible to classify plant leaf images collected in a natural environment more easily and accurately than conventional methods. This results in good classification of plant leaf image data including unnecessary noise obtained in a natural environment.

Males of the field cricket Teleogryllus emma produce calling songs that are attractive to receptive females. The calling songs of T. emma consist of two components, the long chirp that is composed of up to 12 single pulses, followed by a variable number of short chirps. Based on the analysis of coefficient of variation (CV), temporal characters of the long chirp were less variable than those of the short chirps in male calling songs. To test for phonotactic selectivity of females, we conducted a single-stimulus playback experiment in which five stimuli (standard, long chirp only, long chirp augmented, short chirps only, and short chirps augmented) were used. The standard stimulus included both long and short chirps whose characteristics were derived from the calling songs of field populations. Results of the playback experiment showed that female crickets oriented more frequently toward the stimuli that included the long chirp (standard, long chirp only, and long chirp augmented stimuli) than toward the stimuli lacking the long chirp (short chirps only and short chirps augmented stimuli), indicating that the long chirp in the calling songs was required to elicit positive phonotaxis in the female crickets. The result of CV analysis of the male calling songs and the findings of the female phonotaxis experiment suggested that the long chirp of calling songs may play a role in species recognition in T. emma.
