  • We have analyzed the external morphology and the environment of the foraging site of Vespertilio sinensis. The external morphology was analyzed by twelve parameters and the environment characteristics of the foraging site was analyzed using GIS 10.1 program. The wing membrane was inserted into the ankle of the hind foot and the wing ratio was 1.42, the middle type between broad-short wing type and long-narrow wing type. The fur color was blackish brown but the guard hair color was whitish. The shape of the ear was a rounded triangle and tragus was a fan shape. This study showed that V. sinensis preferred the deciduous forest of the upper forest zone, where human interference was less. We believed that abundance of insects, depending on water system, was closely related to the use of the foraging site. This result showed that the environment characteristics was very similar to the nature preservation zone including Baekyang valley and Keumsun valley in Naejangsan National Park.

  • The main reason for its instability is sediment scouring downstream of hydraulic structures. Both physical and numerical models have been used to investigate the influence of soil properties on scour hole geometry. Nevertheless, no research has been conducted on resistance parameters that affect sedimentation and erosion. In addition, auxiliary structures like wing walls, which are prevalent in many real-world applications, have rarely been studied for their impact on morphology. The hydraulic characteristics of steady flow through a boxed culvert are calibrated using a 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics model compared with experimental data in this study, which shows a good agreement between water depth, velocity, and pressure profiles. Test cases showed that 0.015 m grid cells had the lowest NRMSE and MAE values. It is also possible to quantify sediment scour numerically by testing roughness/d50 ratios (cs) and diversion walls at a meander flume outlet. According to the findings, cs = 2.5 indicates a close agreement between numerical and analytical results of maximum scour depth after the culvert; four types of wing walls influence geometrical deformation of the meander flume outlet, resulting in erosion at the concave bank and deposition at the convex bank; two short headwalls are the most appropriate solution for accounting for small changes in morphology. A numerical model can be used to estimate sediment scour at the meander exit channel of hydraulic structures based on the roughness parameter of soil material and headwall type.

  • Various flyers in nature have attracted great interests with a recent need for developing versatile and small-size flight vehicles. In the present study, we focus on the flying fish which has been observed to glide a long distance just above a seawater surface. Since previous studies have depended on the field observation or measurement of the physical parameters only, quantitative data of the flying fish flight has not been provided so far. Therefore, we evaluate the wing performance of the flying fish in gliding flight by directly measuring the lift, drag and pitching moment on real flying fish models (Cypselurus hiraii) in a wind tunnel. In addition, we investigate the roles of wing morphology like the enlarged pectoral and pelvic fins, and lateral dihedral angle of pectoral fins. With both the pectoral and pelvic fins spread, the lift-to-drag ratio is larger and the longitudinal static stability is enhanced than those with the pelvic fins folded. From the glide polar, we find that the wing performance of flying fish is equivalent to those of medium-size birds like the petrel, hawk and wood duck. Finally, we examine the effect of water surface underneath the flying fish and find that the water surface reduces the drag and increases the lift-to-drag ratio.

  • The molecular cloud, embedding AFGL 2591, has a "head-and-tail" structure with a total mass of ${\sim}\;1800\;M_{\odot}$, about half of the mass (${\sim}\;900\;M_{\odot}$) in the head (size ${\sim}\;1.2\;pc$ in diameter), and another half in the envelope (${\sim}\;3.5\;pc$ in the east-west direction). We found a new cloud in the direction toward north-east from AFGL 2591 (projected distance ${\sim}\;2.4\;pc$), which is probably associated with the AFGL 2591 cloud. The $^{12}CO$ spectrum clearly shows a blue-shifted high-velocity wing at around the velocity $-20\;{\sim}\;-10\;km\;s^{-1}$, but it is not clear whether this high-velocity component has a bipolar nature in our observations. The observed CN spectra also show blue-shifted wing component but the existence of the red-shifted component is not clear, either. In some CN and HCN spectra, the highvelocity components appear as a different velocity component, not a broad line-wing component. The dense cores, traced by CN and HCN, exist in the 'head' of the AFGL 2591 cloud with an elongated morphology roughly in the north-south direction with a size of about 0.5 pc. The abundance ratio between CN and HCN is found to be about 2 - 3 within the observed region, which may suggest a possibility that this core is being affected by the embedded YSOs or by possible shocks from outside.

  • 에메리개미는 여왕개미와 수개미가 유전적으로 복제되어 번식한다고 알려져 있으며, 여왕개미의 날개형태가 장시형과 단시형으로 나타난다. 장시형은 정상적인 날개형태이고, 이보다 짧은 날개형태는 단시형이라고 한다. 장시형과 단시형 모두 한 종으로 취급되지만, 두 가지 점에서 종지위에 대한 조사가 필요하다. 첫째, 자연 상태에서는 두 날개형이 함께 발견되지 않고, 둘째, 날개형이 육안으로 뚜렷하게 구분된다. 또한 복제되어 번식한 여왕개미가 단수체인지 배수체인지 조사가 필요하다. 따라서 우리는 본 연구에서 에메리개미 유전체 크기를 추정하여 두 날개형은 동종이며, 여왕개미는 배수체임을 확인하였다.

  • 곤충의 분산다형성이란 비상능력과 관련된 다형성으로 그 구체적 내용으로는 시다형성, 비상근다형성 그리고 비상행동변이성 등과 이들과는 별개로 개체군 밀도의존적인 상변이성이 있다. 분산다형성은 시간적으로나 공간적으로 이질적인 서식처 환경에 대응하기 위하여 이동형인 “유시형이나 장시형”과 정주형인 “무시형이나 단시형”을 생활사에 적절히 짜넣은 적응적 형질이다. 점변태곤충류에서는 유충과 성충의 생태학적지위가 중복되여 있어 유충과 성충이 생활공간과 그 밖의 요구조건을 달리하고 있는 완전변태류나 반변태류에 비하여 분산다형성의 예가 대단히 많다. 무시형 또는 단시형곤충은 같은 종의 유시형 또는 장시형곤충에 비하면 초산연령이 빠르고 총산란수도 많은 것이 보통이여서 자연증가율(r)이 크다. 단시형과 관련된 환경요인으로는 서식처의 시간적 영속성이나 공간적 이질성, 먹이조건, 개체군밀도, 온도, 일장 기타 여러 가지가 알려지고 있다 서식처의 환경조건에 대한 분산다형성발현상은 종에 따라 다를 뿐 아니라 암수간에도 차가 있고 같은 종에서도 계통간에 차가 있는 극히 탄력적인 현상이다. 분산다형성의 문제는 생리학, 유전학 그리고 생태학등에 걸친 폭넓은 학문분야로 특히 생태유전학이나 정량유전학분야치 연구는 분산다형성의 유전적본질 구명에 중요하다 하겠다.

  • Sightings of long-tailed bats have only been recorded twice in Korea, and their morphology and ecology are virtually unknown. We captured a female long-tailed bat in May 2016, in Gangwon Province, and to the best of our knowledge, this has been done for the first time in approximately 30 years. The captured bat had a very small craniofacial area and the length of its tibia was > 19 mm. The wing membrane penetrated the distal portion of the metatarsus of its first toe. The fur of the bat had a lusterless yellowish-brown color and its terminal tail vertebra was free beyond the posterior edge of the uropatagium. It had an obvious lambdoid crest on the lateral side. The anterior and central premolars were located inward with respect to the tooth row. In the mandible, the central premolar was located slightly inward and was nearly 80% of the anterior premolar in height.

  • In this study, we analyzed the changes in the echolocation and prey-capture behavior of the horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum from search phase to capture time. The experiment was conducted in an indoor free-flight room fitted with an ultra-high-speed camera. We found that the bats searched for food while hanging from a structure, and capturing was carried out using the flight membrane. In addition, it was confirmed that the mouth and uropatagium were continuously used in tandem during the capturing process. Furthermore, using Constant Frequency (CF), we confirmed that the prey catching method reflected the wing morphology and echolocation pattern of R. ferrumequinum. The echolocation analysis revealed that the pulse duration, pulse interval, peak frequency, start-FM-bandwidth, and CF duration decreased as the search phase approached the terminal phase. Detailed analysis of echolocation pulse showed that the end-FM bandwidth, which increases as it gets nearer to the capture time of prey, was closely related to the accurate grasp of the location of an insect. At the final moment of prey capture, the passive listening that stopped the divergence of the echolocation was identified; this was determined to be the process of minimizing the interruption from the echo of the echolocation call emitted from the bat itself and sound waves emitted from the prey.

  • 소멸위기수종인 분비나무와 구상나무 8개 천연집단의 지리적 위치에 따른 구과, 종자 및 포침의 형태적 특성에 대한 변이의 구명과 단계적 판별분석을 이용하여 이들 변수 중 수종간 식별에 도움을 주는 분류 지표를 선정하고자 하였다. Nested 분산분석 결과 구과, 종자 및 포침 특성 13가지 형질 모두에서 집단간 및 집단 내 개체 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 분비나무는 종자길이, 종자지수, 포침폭 및 포침지수 특성에서, 구상나무는 포침폭과 포침지수 특성에서 총 분산 가운데 집단간 차지하는 비율이 집단내의 개체가 차지하는 비율보다 높게 나타났다. 분비나무와 구상나무의 식별을 위한 판별분석 결과 변별력을 갖는 주요 형질들은 구과폭, 종자날개의 폭 및 포침길이 특성으로 나타났으며, 최종적으로 변수증감법(stepdisc method)에 의한 단계적 판별분석에서 종자날개의 폭과 포침길이 인자의 최적결합으로 판별되었다.

  • Symbiotic stars, believed to be binary systems of a mass-losing giant and a white dwarf with an emission nebula, are known to exhibit very broad wings around Hex that extend to $\~10^3km\;s^{-1}$. The wing formation mechanism is not a settled matter and recently Lee (2000) proposed that Raman scattering of Ly$\beta$ by neutral hydrogen is responsible for the broad H$\alpha$ wings. In this model, it is predicted that. the Hex wings will be polarized depending on the geometric and kinematic distribution of the scatterers relative to the UV emission region. In this paper, we investigate the polarization of Hex wings in symbiotic stars. Noting that many symbiotic stars possess bipolar nebular morphology, we assume that the distribution of neutral scatterers follows the similar pattern with a receding velocity of several tens of km $s^{-1}$ that mimics the expansion of the neutral envelope of the nebula. It is found that the red wing is more strongly polarized than the blue and main part and that the polarization direction is along the equatorial plane. We obtain a typical degree of polarization $\~10$ percent, however, it varies depending on the detailed distribution of H I scatterers We conclude that spectropolarimetry will provide very important information on the origin of the Hex wings.
