  • 계통분류학의 분지(cladistics)의 원리와 방법들을 한국산 늑대거미과(Lycosidae)의 7 속들 사이의 계통분류학적 관계를 분석하는데 적용시켰다. 형질( ∼)의 형태적, 생리적 그리고 생태적 특성에 기초를 둔 분석으로부터 분지도(cladogram) Fig. 1, 2, 3을 만들었다. 한국산 늑대거미과는 아로페늑대거미속, 논늑대거미속, 짧은마디늑대거미속, 긴마디늑대거미 속, 부이표늑대거미속, 곤봉표늑대거미속, 마른마디늑대거미속의 7속으로 나누어진다. 필자는 그간의 국내외 여러학자들이 연구한 사항을 정리하여 지금까지 짧은마디 늑대거미아과에 속 해있는 논늑대거미속과 곤봉표늑대거미속을 이 아과에서 분리하여 논늑대거미아과를 새로 설정하였다. 이로써 한국산 늑대거미과에는 부이표늑대거미아과, 긴마디늑대거미아과, 짧은 마디늑대거미아과, 논늑대거미아과의 4개 아과로 새로이 정리하였다.

  • Parastenocaris koreana sp. nov. is described based on examination of numerous adult specimens of both sexes from several localities in Korea. Scanning electron micrographs are used to examine intra- and interpopulation variability of micro-characters, in addition to light microscopy. The new species is most closely related to the Japanese P. biwae Miura, 1969, which we redescribe based on newly collected material from the Lake Biwa drainage area. The two species differ in size, relative length of the caudal rami, shape of the anal operculum, shape of the genital double somite, relative length of the inner distal process on the female fifth leg, as well as relative length of the apical setae on the second, third, and fourth legs exopods in both sexes. Detailed examinations of three disjunct populations of P. koreana reveal also some geographical variation, especially in the surface ornamentation of somites, which may indicate some population structuring or even cryptic speciation. Lack of intraspecific variability in the number and position of sensilla on somites, as well as their potential phylogenetic significance, is a novel discovery. Both species examined here belong to the brevipes group, which we redefine to include 20 species from India (including Sri Lanka), Australia, East Asia, Northern Europe, and North America. A key to species of this group is also provided. In order to test the monophyly of the redefined brevipes group with highly disjunct distribution, as well as relationship between different species, a cladistics analysis is performed based on 39 morphological characters and with help of three outgroup taxa. Six equally parsimonious cladograms are generated, all of which show that the ingroup is well defined by at least three synapomorphies. Reconstructed phylogeny questions the previously suggested hypothesis about the origin of this group in South East Asia, with one Australian species showing the most basal position. We speculate that the present distribution of this group may be a combination of ancient vicariance and subsequent dispersal, with a possible origin in the Gondwanaland, in the rift valley between Australia and India.

A Sustematic Study of Korean Entomobryidae(Collembola, Insecta) Based on Cladistic Analysis of Phenotypic nd Allozyme Data (한국산 털보톡토기과(곤충강)의 표현형과 효소유전자형질에 대한 분지분석)

  • 한국산 털보톡토기과(Collembola, Insecta)의 계통유연관계를 알아보기 위해 이 과에 속하는 3개속(Sinella, Entomobrya, Homidia)의 6종과 가시톡토기과의 1종(Tomocerus kinoshitai)에 대하여 모서식과 형태적 조사 외에 전기영동을 이용한 효소분석을 시리시하였다. 이들 모든 조사에서 32개의 형태형질과 33개의 모서식형질 및 80개의 효소유전자 형질을 얻어 분지분석하였는데, 이중 효소유전자에 대해서는 UPGMA방법도 적용하였다. 이러한 분석 결과 다양한 분지도를 얻었으나, Homidia종들은 언제나 두 개의 무리로 분리되었으며, Homidia munda의 두 아종이 가장 유연관계가 높았다. 반면에 Homidia koreana의 두 개체군은 다소 분리되어 같은 종으로 보기 의심스럽다는 소견을 얻었다. 또한 형태형질분석으로 얻은 계통수에서 가시톡토기과의 Tomocerus종이 털보톡토기과의 속들 사이에 끼어들어 나타나는데 이것은 형질에 따라 비중을 달리두는 평가방법이 아니기 때문에 나타난 것으로 추측된다. 본 연구 결과 대체로 외부형질과 모서식, 그리고 효소유전자의 세가지 유형의 형질들을 종합 분석할 때 도출되는 계통수가 자연분류에 가장 가까운 근연성을 보이는 것으로 판단되었다.

  • The inconsistent relationship between the monogeneric family Cephalotaxaceae and Taxaceae was discussed and the possibility of merging Cephalotaxus within Taxaceae was also reviewed. Our previous reports (cladistics analysis, leaf anatomy and wood anatomy of Taxaceae s.l.) did not find a feasible reason to create a distinction between Cephalotaxus and other Taxad genera (Taxus, Pseudotaxus, Amentotaxus, Torreya and, Austrotaxus) and thus argued for a broader concept of Taxaceae with Cephalotaxus. The monophyly of Taxaceae including Cephalotaxus is described in various contemporary molecular studies, and some of them are in support of the single large family Taxaceae with six genera. Although additional comprehensive studies in the future may perhaps weaken the precise association between Cephalotaxaceae and other Taxad genera, on the basis of recent corroborations, at this moment Taxaceae should be redefined with broad circumscriptions, including Cephalotaxus.
