This study created the running water (Bandibooliwon) and lentic water (Sooryunwon) artificial habitats of Luciola lateralis in Hwadamsup, Gwangju-si, Gyunggi-do from April 2014 to February 2016. Through various habitat types, metapopulation was formed, and more sound population was induced to be maintained via interactions between habitats. We investigated coenosite at the habitat creation-target site, and 20 species in the lentic water site and 38 species in running water site were found. After releasing L. lateralis, we checked the status of settlement of L. lateralis larvae through traps and macroscopy, controlled the flow velocity of the habitats in line with the life cycle of L. lateralis (hatching, larva period, landing, pupation, copulation, and oviposition), and shaped gentle slope at water side, and planted moss. We artificially supplied melanian snails (Semisulcospira sp.), the food source, in the running water site and induced stable feeding. Also, We created artificial insectary, bred larvae stably in winter, and secured firefly population for a festival. Through night time observation, the time most suitable for a festival was confirmed to be from 20:30 to 22:00.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the natural habitat of Hotaria unmunsana Doi, which was first discovered at Mt. Unmun also represents a landscape indicator species for Daegu and Gyeongbuk provinces, and Luciola lateralis Motschulsky, which is the object of experiential activation at festivals in some cities in the region. The spatial range of this study is limited by Daegu City and Gyeongbuk province, and is used to predict the preference of firefly for altitude, slope, direction, shaded relief, riparian buffer zone, river environment, and farmland to analyze the area that best matches the habitat of fireflies. As a result, fireflies are highly influenced by altitude and there may be no large-scale habitats in some areas through the Nakdong and the Baekdu mountain ranges, which occur at high altitude. In most of the cities, we found major habitats around the streams and wetlands. By region, the sites were widely distributed around the cities focused on Nakdong River, and many habitats emerged around the Nakdong River tributary and gentle slopes. In order to preserve and spread the habitat of fireflies, the physical environment as well as their relationship with food chains and symbiotic organisms should be established, and excessive use of pesticides and herbicides in agricultural areas should be avoided.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the habitat of Luciola unmunsana to understand the status of land snails, which are the larvae prey, and to evaluate the effects of larval feeding preferences and prey size for the restoration of the L. unmunsana habitat as a basis for future restoration projects. The research methods included field surveys of the habitat and laboratory experiments on feeding preferences using three types of land snails (Allopeas clavulinum kyotoense, Euphaedusa fusaniana, Pupinella rufa) observed in the habitat. Field surveys of 13 L. unmunsana habitat sites revealed a total of 24 land snail species. The experimental results regarding the larvae prey were analyzed for statistical significance of feeding preferences using Chi-square tests and independent sample t-tests. Consequently, larvae showed the highest preference for A. c. kyotoense, with statistically significant differences in feeding preferences (p<0.05). Also, statistically significant differences were observed in the size between the land snails that were eaten as prey and those that were not eaten. This research can deepen the understanding of the feeding preferences of L. unmunsana larvae and provide practical guidelines for the effective conservation and restoration strategies of the firefly habitat.

국내 늦반딧불이(Pyrocoelia rufa)이 미토콘드리아 DNA중 COI 유전자 일부(403 bp)의 염기서열을 결정, 집단내 유전적 다양도, 지역적 변이, 계통유전적 관련에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 남해, 부산, 무주, 용인 등 우리나라 4개 지역으로부터 채집된 총 26개체로부터 7개의 mtDNA haplotype을 얻었으며 이들의 변이는 0.2~1.2%이었다. 도심인 부산에서 채집한 늦반딧불이는 다른 산림 및 농업의 채집지역과 달리 하나의 haplotype으로 고정되어 있어 도시화에 따른 집단의 병목현상과 서식처 파편화가 심각했음을 보여주었다. 그러나 우리나라 최대의 반딧불이 서식처이자 보호지역으로 지정된 무주로부터 4개의 haplotype을 얻었으며 이들의 최대염기 치환율은 1.0%로 가장 높은 집단내 유전적 다양도를 나타내었다. 근해의 섬인 남해의 늦반딧불이는 상대적으로 낮은 haplotype 다양도(H=0.25)와 계통유전적으로 이질적인 haplotype(PR7)의 존재로 요약되었는데 이는 비교적 가까운 과거의 한반도 생물지리 역사 및 유전자 이동에 의해 나타난 현상으로 설명하였다. 계층적 유전분석 결과 무주-용인과 부산-남해 그룹의 형성은 역사적으로 두 그룹사이에 유전자 이동에 반한 장벽의 존재 가능성을 제시한다고 설명하였다.

This study aims to present primary data for habitat restoration and artificial breeding conditions of L. unmunsana by identifying the habitat conditions and the larvae's food sources. In order to investigate the habitat characteristics of the adult L. unmunsana and land snails, which are the primary food sources for the larvae, field surveys were conducted on a total of 10 habitats in south-central parts of Korea including Sanseongcheon, Jeonju. The results revealed that the L. unmunsana habitat in the Sanseongcheon area had a broadleaf forest with a multi-layered vegetation structure, adjacent water features, and the north/northeast/northwest slopes with little effect of artificial lighting. The adult L. unmunsana in the Sanseongcheon area appeared from the end of May to the end of June, and was especially intensively observed around the middle of June. The most active time was from 23:30 to 00:30 with a temperature range of 19~22℃ and higher than 80% humidity. The peak count of the observed adults L. unmunsana was a total of 774 on June 11, 2021. In the case of land snails, 11 families and 23 species were observed in 10 habitats of L. unmunsana, and Euphaedusa fusaniana was the most extensive and the most observed in the five survey areas. The land snails of L. unmunsana habitats are mostly found under the organic layers of leaves and a fallen tree branch in broadleaf forests, where a thick organic material layer buffers temperature changes and provides high humidity for various snails. These habitat conditions are suitable for the larva of L. unmunsana and land snails to inhabit, feed, hide and hibernate.

본 연구는 애반딧불이 유충의 상륙에 미치는 수온의 영향을 실내 외 조건에서 조사하였다. 실내 실험 결과에서 수온이 평균 19.3${\pm}$$0.3^{\circ}C$ 정온조건에서는 상륙 행동을 보이지 않았고, 20${\sim}$$22^{\circ}C$ 변온조건(평균 20.9${\pm}$$0.9^{\circ}C$)에서는 상륙을 시도하였지만 실제로 상륙은 이루어지지 않았다. 그러나 유충들은 평균 20.8${\pm}$$0.6^{\circ}C$ 정온조건에서는 가장 활발하게 유충의 상륙이 이루어졌다. 관찰 시점에 대한 조사는 실내 실험에서 유충의 상륙 빈도는 수온 20${\sim}$$21^{\circ}C$에서 전체의 63.6%로 높게 나타났다. 자연 서식처 실험에서 수온 19.8${\sim}$$21.7^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 상륙이 이루어졌으며, 상륙빈도수가 20${\sim}$$21^{\circ}C$에서 전체의 80.4%로 높게 나타났다. 서식처 실험에서는 실내 실험에서 유충의 상륙이 관찰되지 않았던 19${\sim}$$20^{\circ}C$구간에서도 유충의 상륙이 약간 관찰되었다. 실내 실험과 자연 서식처 실험의 조사일별에 대해 수온이 20${\sim}$$21^{\circ}C$에서 상륙빈도가 높게 나타났다. 실내 실험에서 유충의 상륙에서 성충의 출현까지 기간은 약 18일 소요되었으며 서식지 내에서 유충의 상륙부터 성충의 최초 출현 일과 최대 개체수 출현 일 사이의 기간 동안 기록된 수온의 구간은 19.6${\sim}$$21.8^{\circ}C$이었고 수온은 평균 20.4${\pm}$$2.3^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 위의 결과를 보아 상륙에 요구되는 수온의 범위는 $20^{\circ}C$${\sim}$$21^{\circ}C$인 것으로 추정되며 가장 적정한 수온은 약 $21^{\circ}C$로 추정되었다.
