Reproductive biology and population dynamics of Latreutes planirostris were investigated on the south western waters of Korea from June 2001 to May 2002. This paper describes sex ratio, population growth, and reproductive aspects of Latreutes planirostris. Brood size was an isometric function of female carapace length. Based on dry weight, reproduction effort (mass of eggs/mass of female) averaged 0.23. Ovarian examination showed that there was significantly higher gonadosomatic index from May to September, with a peak in June. Statistical analysis revealed that the ovarian dry weight of females with eyed eggs was significantly higher than that of those with non-eyed eggs. This suggests that females were potentially consecutive breeders. Sex ratio showed that female is more numerous than male. Growth parameters mortality and recruitment were estimated by monthly length-frequency data. Growth parameters were estimated, using the seasonalized von Bertalanffy growth function model $(L\infty\;=\;12.70\;mm\;CL,\;K\;=\;0.87yr^{-1},\;C\;=\;0.96,\;WP\;=\;0.59)$. The recruitment pattern was twice a year.

The planktonic shrimp, Acetes chinensis Hansen, 1919 inhabits the coastal areas of the Info-West Pacific, Korea, China, Taiwan, and Japan and is most abundant along the coastal areas of Yellow Sea. Several studies have locally examined aspects of reproductive biology of the species such as reproductive cycle, spawning, maturity, breeding pattern and fecundity. (omitted)

In crustacea the molting cycle is the most important physiological process affecting growth, behaviour, reproduction and population dynamics through their life span. Particularly molt cycle is closely related to reproductive cycle, and it is important to determine the successive stages of molt cycle to understand reproductive phenomena including ovarian cycle and the development of the embryos in the marsupium.

This paper describes some preliminary attempts to formulate simple mathematical models of the transmission dynamics of HIV infection in homosexual communities. In conjunction with a survey of the available epidemiological data on HIV infection and the incidence of AIDS, the model is used to assess how various processes influence the course of the initial epidemic following the introduction of the virus. Models of the early stages of viral spread provide crude methods for estimating the basic reproductive rate of the virus, given a knowledge of the incubation period of AIDS and the initial doubling time of the epidemic. More complex models are formulated to assess the influence of heterogeneity in sexual activity. This latter factor is shown to have a major effect on the predicted pattern of the epidemic.

One of the key factors of early development is the specification of competence between the oocyte and the sperm, which occurs during gametogenesis. However, the starting point, growth, and maturation for acquiring competence during spermatogenesis and oogenesis in mammals are very different. Spermatogenesis includes spermiogenesis, but such a metamorphosis is not observed during oogenesis. Glycosylation, a ubiquitous modification, is a preliminary requisite for distribution of the structural and functional components of spermatids for metamorphosis. In addition, glycosylation using epididymal or female genital secretory glycans is an important process for the sperm maturation, the acquisition of the potential for fertilization, and the acceleration of early embryo development. However, nonemzymatic unexpected covalent bonding of a carbohydrate and malglycosylation can result in falling fertility rates as shown in the diabetic male. So far, glycosylation during spermatogenesis and the dynamics of the plasma membrane in the process of capacitation and fertilization have been evaluated, and a powerful role of glycosylation in spermatogenesis and early development is also suggested by structural bioinformatics, functional genomics, and functional proteomics. Further understanding of glycosylation is needed to provide a better understanding of fertilization and embryo development and for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for infertility.

Investigations were made on the population structure, sex ratio, growth, and recruitment patterns of Leptochela sydniensis in the southwestern coastal areas of Korea, between May 2000 and December 2001. Spawning period, fecundity, brood loss, reproductive output, and size at sexual maturity also were examined. The results of the sex ratio showed that females were more numerous than males during the overall study period. Parameters of growth were estimated using the modified von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) model incorporating seasonal variation into growth. Females grew somewhat faster and reached a larger size than males $(L\infty=12.80\;mm\;CL\;and\;K=0.70\;yr^{-1}\;or\;females,\and\;L\infty=12.08\;mm\;CL\;and\;K=0.69\;yr^{-1}$ for males). The structure of recruitment patterns obtained by the FiSAT program indicated one normally distributed group. Based on the occurrence of ovigerous females and the gonadosomatic index (GSI), the main spawning season was from June to August. Analysis of covariance indicated that brood loss was not observed during the incubation period. The size at which $50\%$ of females are mature is estimated as 5.48 mm CL.

환경부지정 멸종위기 II급 종인 금개구리 (Rana plancyi chosenica)의 번식생태를 연구하기 위하여 충북 청원군 장내면에 위치하는 묵논형 습지에 있는 금개구리 개체군을 2007년 4월부터 2008년 11월까지 총 207일에 걸쳐서, 모음담장과 주머니함정을 설치하여 모니터링을 실시하였다. 금개구리들은 봄철 4월 20일부터 6월 13일 사이에 번식지로 이동하였으며, 가을철 동면지 이동은 9월 21일부터 11월 16일 사이에 일어났다. 서식지 내 외로의 이동은 2007년과 가을 이동과 2008년 봄 이동 시 공히 강수와 높은 양의 상관을 보였지만, 기온, 수온, 상대 습도와는 유의미한 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 금개구리들은 이동 시 주로 논의 언덕이나 묵논과 연결된 이동경로를 다른 경로보다 선호하여 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 번식지 내 외로의 이동순서와 개체의 신체 요소와는 2007년 봄에는 번식지 내 외로의 이동순서와 개체의 몸길이(snout-vent length)와 양의 상관을 보였으며, 이동순서와 몸무게와는 2008년 봄을 제외한 모든 경우에 양의 상관을 보여, 작은 개체들이 먼저 출현하고 먼저 동면지로 이주하는 경향을 보였다. 금개구리 암컷은 수컷에 비하여 유의미하게 큰 것으로 확인되었으며, 가을철 동면지 이주 시 20mm SVL 크기 이하의 작은 개체들의 수가 2007년, 2008년 공히 소폭 증가하여, 개체군 내에 성공적인 번식이 일어나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 금개구리 야외 개체군을 보존하는 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

This study investigates the population model of the spread of HIV/AIDS which the infection is generated by an infectious individual in a population of susceptible. A mathematical model is presented for the transmission dynamics of HIV infection within the communities of homosexual males. The pattern on the epidemic character of HIV, the causative agent of AIDS, was analysed by the mathematical model of AIDS system which is derived according to the ecological relationship between five epidemilogic states of individuals. The computer simulation was performed using real data and the following conclusions are drawn on the basis of the simulations. 1. The model structure and the algorithm described n the thesis is good. 2. In proportion to increase Ro, the population of AIDS patient increases and the time of its widespread reaches earlier. 3. The AIDS patients will be maximum between 7 and 21 years after an attack of AIDS and widespread between 10 and 20 years. 4. Considering the properties of the incubation periods, the maximum number of infected person is increased, and the attack rate is decreased.
