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.

겨울철 남부지방에서 2 종류의 방울토마토 재배하우스, 즉 양액 재배농가와 톱밥재배농가에서의 서양뒤영벌의 방화활동을 조사한결과, 개화간격은 양액 재배농가가 톱밥 재배농가보다 길었으나, 개화 후 일벌 방화까지의 시간은 양 액재배농가에서 톱밥재배농가보다 짧았다. 따라서 2 종류의 하우스에서 1개의 꽃이 개화하여 방화되기까지의 수정시간에는 차이가 없었다. 일벌들의 방화활동도 같은 양상을 유지하였으며, 투입된 벌의 방화활동 차이는 발견할 수 있었다.

To examine factors affecting feeding efficiency of grey herons (Ardea cinerea), the foraging behavior was studied at a reservoir in Asan city, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea during the breeding seasons (from April to July) of 2006 and 2007. Four factors (age of foraging birds, time of day, breeding stage, and microhabitat type) were analyzed. Adults were more efficient foragers than recently fledged juveniles, and they had a higher success rate than juveniles. About half of the adults caught large prey, whereas most juveniles caught only small prey. Adult grey herons had different feeding efficiency according to the breeding stage. Pecking and capture rates were high during the late period (fledging stage), and biomass intake rates were high during the early (incubating stage) and late periods. However, time of day had no significant effect on foraging activity of adult grey herons. Feeding activities of adult grey herons also showed significant variation among microhabitat types. Pecking and capture rates were higher in the submerged plants area, but capture success rate and biomass intake rate were not different according to microhabitat type.

In December-January of 1996-1997 and 1997-1998, information was gathered about vertical distribution of foraging sites of tits in 34 flocks in coniferous and deciduous forests. There was a significant effect of forest type on the distribution of foraging sites of each species. Habitat was classified into 5 height layers vertically: ground, bushes (usually＜1.5 m, up to 3 m), tree layer 1 (up to 1/3 of tree height), tree layer 2 (1/3-2/3 tree height). and tree layer 3 (＞2/3 tree height). There were differences among species: great tit (Parus major) foraged mostly on the ground, coal tit (P. ater) and long-tailed tit (Acrocephalus caudatus) - on the highest tree layer, marsh tit (P. palustris) was often seen on bushes, and varied tit (P. varius) - in tree layer 2. Smaller species used upper and outer parts of trees. suggesting that, like in most other similar studies. larger dominant species prevented smaller species from using inner parts of trees.

For this paper, a study targeting 9 forest patches in Dangjin to suggest for the wild birds, was conducted. The correlation between the emergence of wild birds and the forest vegetation was analyzed, and the patterns of forest vegetation for the improvement of species diversity were suggested by classifying wild birds and foraging guild by the type of forest vegetation. As for the characteristics of the wild birds emerged, more species and bigger population appeared in the vegetation type of mixed stand forest where the natural deciduous broadleaf trees and evergreen needleleaf trees coexisted in the large scale vegetation area. Thus, it was known that the advent of summer migratory birds and resident birds were affected the most by forest patches and vegetation types. As for foraging guild, the larger the forest paches the more the species and the population of the wild birds inhabiting in shrubs and bushes.

We investigated the foraging habitat preferences of herons and egrets in an agricultural area in Asan city, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. In the study area, rice fields were the most abundant habitat type (86.8%) and total suitable feeding habitat was greater in the northern area (59.0%) than the southern area (22.5%) of the colony. Most feeding herons and egrets were located in the northern area of the colony. The number of feeding individuals in a given area was related to the available feeding area (Pearson correlation, r=0.773, p<0.001 for field habitats; r=0.901, p<0.001 for freshwater habitats). Feeding habitat preferences differed among species. Grey herons (Ardea cinerea), great egrets (Egretta alba), and black-crowned night herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) used reservoirs and ditches. However, intermediate egrets (E. intermedia) and cattle egrets (Bubulcus ibis) were dependent on rice fields. The little egret (E. garzetta) was a habitat generalist using all types of habitats. The two largest species, grey herons and great egrets, fed at deeper site than little egrets and foraged in deeper sites in reservoirs than in ditches (${\chi}^2-test,\;{\chi}^2{_3}=26.6$ and p<0.001 for grey herons, ${\chi}^2{_3}=17.5$ and p<0.001 for great egrets). All species displayed seasonal changes in feeding habitat use and these changes were related with changes in availability of feeding habitats.

본 연구는 낙동정맥의 구간 중 다양한 지형을 볼 수 있고, 자연환경이 잘 보존되어 낙동정맥의 대표성을 가질 수 있다고 판단되는 5개의 산(백병산, 칠보산, 백암산, 운주산, 고헌산)을 중점조사지역으로 선정하였고, 각 산별로 조류 서식지 유형별 2개씩의 고정조사구를 설정하여 2015년 5월부터 10월 사이의 기간 동안 수행되었다. 낙동정맥의 5개의 산을 조사한 결과 총 47종 1,163개체의 조류가 확인되었다. 서식지 유형별 출현종은 임도 및 능선에서 31종으로 가장 많았고, 개체수는 계곡부에서 471개체로 가장 많았다. 낙동정맥의 서식지 유형별 영소길드 분석(Pearson Chi-Square test, ${\chi}^2=13.377$, p=0.037)결과 개발지, 계곡부에서 수관층 영소길드(Canopy nesting guild)에 속한 군집의 빈도가 높았고, 임도 및 능선에서는 수동 영소길드(Hole nesting guild)에 속한 군집의 빈도가 높았다. 채이길드 분석(Pearson Chi-Square test, ${\chi}^2=15.555$, p=0.004)결과 개발지에서 관목층 채이길드(Bush foraging guild)에 속한 군집의 빈도가 높았고, 계곡부, 임도 및 능선에서는 수관층 채이길드(Canopy foraging guild)에 속한 군집의 빈도가 높았다. 길드 분석 결과 서식지 유형별 유의한 차이가 있는 것은 임도의 개설 과정에서 천이된 초본류로 인한 붉은머리오목눈이, 노랑턱멧새 등의 유입과 같은 조류 서식지의 환경적 변화가 낙동정맥에 서식하는 조류에 영향을 주고 있었으며, 이러한 연구결과는 낙동정맥의 다양한 서식지 유형이 조류 서식에 다양하고 우수한 자원을 제공하고 있다는 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, we analyzed two types of echolocation calls used by the parti-coloured bat, Vespertilio sinensis. Bats were captured in the Naejangsan National Park in October 2013. Call sounds of hand-released bats were recorded at the location of capture within the National Park. We analyzed pulse duration (PD), pulse interval (PI), peak frequency (PF), maximum frequency ($F_{MAX}$), minimum frequency ($F_{MIN}$), and bandwidth (BW). V. sinensis emitted the different types of the echolocation calls depending on the surrounding environment. Frequency modulated-constant frequency (FM-CF) signal of audible range was emitted when they flew in the uncluttered space over the canopy. However, when flying in the cluttered space below the canopy, they only emitted FM signal. FM-CF signal is in the audible range (e.g., low frequency), and FM signal has a harmonic broadband frequency range of two. There were significant differences in PD, PI, PF, FMAX, FMIN, and BW between the calls emitted over and below the canopy. Considering the functional characteristics of FM and CF signals, we conclude that the foraging activity of V. sinensis was observed below the canopy, and recommend the use of FM signal and broadband as echolocation signals.
