Green peach aphid, Myzus persicae(Sulzer) (Homoptera: Aphididae), interacts with many predatory insects in potato fields during the summer. The concept of the predator complex associated with green peach aphids was applied to explain the interactions between the aphid and its predators. The predator power of the predator complex was determined by two factors: the number of predators and the relative feeding capacity. The dynamics of the green peach aphid population was expressed by the number of individuals while the predator power was used to characterize the predator complex. Cumulative degree-days for green peach aphids were used as a time scale to analyze phonology and dynamics patterns of the aphid and its predator complex. The patterns of population changes in aphids were similar during the period of study(1993-1995) although the highest density of aphids fluctuated significantly from year to year. However, the predator power appeared more stable than the green peach aphid population over the three year period. The results indicated that the predator complex plays an important role to suppress the aphid populations during the latter part of the season and that the applications of control measures for green peach aphids in between the initiation and the peak timing of aphid populations are critical to minimize the damage on potatoes.

이 연구에서는 해산어의 종묘 생산에 필요한 대량 배양용 로티퍼, Brachionus rotundiformis의 종 보존 방법으로서 무균 로티퍼의 이용을 검토했다. 로티퍼는 개량형 항생제 혼합액 AM9을 사용하여 무균 처리한후, 무균 Nannochloropsis oculata를 먹이로 공급하여 연속 유지 배양했다. 각각 다른 시기의 3회 (trial 1, 2 and 3)에 걸친 로티퍼 배양결과, 무균 배양 (axenic culture)에서는 비교적 안정적인 증식을 보인 반면, 유균 배양 (non-axenic culture)에서 로티퍼의 증식은 불안정적으로 각 시기에 따라서 심한 증식의 차이가 관찰되었다. 이 결과는 유균 배양에서 로티퍼의 증식에 직접적으로 악영향을 미치는 박테리아가 무균 처리과정을 통해서 제거되었음을 증명한다. 로티퍼 무균 배양 방법의 일반화 또는 대량 배양용 로티퍼의 씨앗으로서의 무균 로티퍼의 이용은 로티퍼의 안정 배양은 물론 유용 수산 생물의 대량 폐사를 일으키는 원인 생물을 사전에 제거할 수 있는 유효한 방법이 될 수 있다고 생각된다.

This study examined the distribution, population and vegetation structure of Corylopsis coreana in South Korea. C. coreana is distributed around the Suncheon area, Jeollanam-do, on the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, but the species is also found in Pocheon and Gangneung, on the central and central east parts of the peninsula. This discontinuous pattern of distribution is coupled with the unusual feature of only growing on northern exposed slopes. The mean density of C. coreana populations is 35 individuals per 100 $m^2$, ranging up to a maximum of 92 individuals per 100 $m^2$. Cut specimens sprouted a maximum of 38 stems per plant. Based on DCA analysis, the species' habitats was divided into three types by species composition and stratification structure. These types include: habitats affected strongly by human activities, valley and mantle communities which are affected relatively little by human activities, and stable forests. Populations affected by artificial intervention have actually flourished, while some populations in the stable forest system have declined. We conclude that the species, now endangered, should be maintained by means of specific external interventions such as cutting or removal of the canopy. To this end, further ecological data should be collected through monitoring and research to identify appropriate interventions to support threatened C. coreana populations.

The clarify the ecological properties, and to predict change of understory vegetation of mt. Nam Park, population dynamics and interspecific competition of D. smilacinum and D. viridescens, which grow in understory of deciduous broad-leaved forest and pseudo-annuals, were studied from May 20 to May 30 1998. The depth of litter layer, soil moisture content, soil organic matter and soil texture were surveyed in 18 populations (15 D. smilacinum populations and 3 D. viridescens populations). Mean litter layer of d. smilacimum population was thinner than that of D. viridescens populations). Mean litter layer of D. smilacnum population was thinner than that of D. viridescens population. The contents of soil moisture and organic matter of D. smilacinum population were lower than that of D. viridescens population. The D. smilacinum growed in broad range of soil texture but D. viridescens in loamy soil. Because D. smilacinum could tolerate more broad range of soil moisture and soil texture than D. viridescens, the former covered the herb layer in earlier stage and the latter introduced in later stage when rhizome could grow easily. The numbers of individual in two marginal parts were smaller than that in center in same D. smilacinum patch. And the total numbers of individuals grown in (10 ${\times}$ 10)cm were from 0 to 12. The rhizome (subterranean runner) weight, rhizome length, root weight, shoot weight, lea weight and leaf number per subquadrat (cell) increased along the number of individual, that is, increased from marginal part to center. But rhizome weight and rhizome length per individual were vice versa. Therefore, the individuals in marginal part reproduced longer and stronger asexual propagules than that in center. The distribution pattern of D. smilacinum was contageous and that of D. viridescens was random or regular. Therefore, population growth of former was independent on density and that of latter was dependent on density. The distributions of size-class showed normal curves in two population, but the curves based on data of total dry weight showed positive skewness and those of leaf number showed negative skewness The correlation coefficient (CC) values between the properties of each organ were high in two population and significant at 0.1% level. The CC values of D. viridescens were higher of the two. Therefore, the former allocated the energy to each organ stable. The rhizome depth of d. viridescens was 2 times deeper than that of D. smilacinum. And rhizome length and weight of D. viridescens were longer (2 times) or heavier (4 times) than those of D. smilacinum. The patch size of D. viridescens increased 60 cm per year and that of D. smilacinum 30 cm. On this results, the intrinsic increase velocity of d. viridescens patch was 2 times faster than that of d. smilacinum, therefore, on the competition, the former had an advantage over D. smilacinum. The reason why d. viridescens defeated D. smilacinum resulted from that the leaf area of former was 4 times broader than that of latter. in Mt. Nam Park, it was thought that two disporum Population would change with the 3 thpes of environmental change as followings. First, no human impact and increase of soil moisture content resulted in increase of D. viridescens population. Second, mild human impact and similar condition of soil moisture content resulted in slow increase or no changes of D. smilacinum and d. viridescens population. Third, severe human impact and dry condition resulted in decrease or vanishment of two disporum populations.

Background: Asarum sieboldii Miq., a species of forest understory vegetation, is an herbaceous perennial belonging to the family Aristolochiaceae. The metapopulation of A. sieboldii is distributed sparsely and has a short seed dispersal distance by ants as their seed distributor. It is known that many flowers of A. sieboldii depend on self-fertilization. Because these characteristics can affect negatively in genetic structure, investigating habitat structure and assessment of genetic structure is needed. A total of 27 individuals in a valley were sampled for measuring genetic diversity, genetic distance, and genetic differentiation by RAPDPCR. Results: The habitat areas of A. sieboldii metapopulation were relatively small (3.78~33.60 m²) and population density was very low (five to seven individuals in 20×20 m quadrat). The habitat of A. sieboldii was a very shady (relative light intensity = 0.9%) and mature forest with a high evenness value (J = 0.81~0.99) and a low dominance value (D = 0.19~0.28). The total genetic diversity of A. sieboldii was quite high (h = 0.338, I = 0.506). A total of 33 band loci were observed in five selected primers, and 31 band loci (94%) were polymorphic. However, genetic differentiation along the valley was highly progressed (G_st = 0.548, N_m = 0.412). The average genetic distance between subpopulations was 0.387. The results of AMOVA showed 52.77% of variance occurs among populations, which is evidence of population structuring. Conclusions: It is expected that a small-scale founder effect had occurred, an individual spread far from the original subpopulation formed a new subpopulation. However, geographical distance between individuals would have been far and genetic flow occurred only within each subpopulation because of the low density of population. This made significant genetic distance between the original and new population by distance. Although genetic diversity of A. sieboldii metapopulation is not as low as concerned, the subpopulation of A. sieboldii can disappear by stochastic events due to small subpopulation size and low density of population. To prevent genetic isolation and to enhance the stable population size, conservative efforts such as increasing the size of each subpopulation or the connection between subpopulations are needed.

후방가장자리 개체군은 전형적으로 고도의 고립된 분포에 따라 개체군의 유전적다양성이 낮고 절멸의 위험이 높다고 평가한다. 그러나 유전적다양성이 낮음에도 불구하고 오랜 기간에 걸쳐 개체군의 지속이 관찰된다. 따라서 개체군의 지속에 관여하는 생태적인 과정에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 넓은잎제비꽃은 세계적인 분포에서 한국이 후방가장자리개체군에 해당한다. 한반도의 중부 내륙에 제한적인 분포를 나타내는 넓은잎제비꽃의 지속에 관여하는 요인을 알아보기 위해 먼저 분포현황을 조사하였다. 다음으로 식생 및 토양환경, 식물계절학, 자가화합성 여부, 개체군 구조 그리고 분포지에서 관찰되는 위협요인을 조사하고 평가하였다. 넓은잎제비꽃은 석회암지대의 낙엽활엽수림 하부, 낙엽침엽수와 낙엽활엽수 식재림의 하부, 관목림의 하부 그리고 초원에 걸쳐 분포하였다. 개체군내에서 유묘의 재정착이 관찰되었고 대부분 안정적인 개체군 구조로 나타났다. 개방화는 화분매개곤충의 방문이 열매의 생산과 밀접한 연관이 있었다. 그렇지만 개체군 내에서 폐쇄화의 생산이 보다 왕성하였고 일부 개체군에서는 개체의 크기가 큼에도 불구하고 폐쇄화만을 생산하였다. 개체의 크기는 개방화의 생산에 비해 폐쇄화의 생산에 보다 더 높은 상관이 있었다. 따라서 개체군내의 유묘 보충은 폐쇄화의 기여도가 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 개방화와 폐쇄화의 생산은 토양분석 항목 중 유효인산을 제외하고는 상관이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 넓은잎제비꽃은 자가불화합성으로 이것은 왕성한 폐쇄화의 생산능력이 존재하기 때문으로 생각되었다. 생육지에서 관찰된 잠재적인 위협요인으로는 석회암광산의 개발, 경작지의 확대 및 주택의 건설이 있었다. 넓은잎제비꽃은 한반도에서 석회암지대에 고립되어 분포하지만 초원부터 비교적 울폐도가 낮은 식생하부에 이르기까지 넓은 식생환경에 걸쳐 관찰되었다. 또한 다수의 개체군과 안정적인 개체군 구조를 유지하고 있어 현재와 같은 상태가 유지된다면 개체군의 지속은 가능할 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구는 천연기념물로 지정하여 보호하고 있는 큰고니의 국내 최대 월동지인 낙동강하구일대 중 낙동강하류부를 대상으로 교량구간별 큰고니 월동개체의 서식처 선호도 차이를 살펴보고자 진행하였다. 2018~2019년 월동기 동안 6개 시계열로 구분하여 조사를 진행하여 분석한 결과 낙동강하류에서 최대 500여 마리의 큰고니가 월동하고 있었다. 하천을 가로지르는 교량을 기준으로 총 7개 구간을 설정하여 조사한 결과 큰고니는 교량과 교량사이가 2km 이내로 협소한 5개 구간에서는 거의 관찰되지 않았고 4km이상의 2개 구간에서만 안정적 개체군이 관찰되었다. 이러한 특징은 인위적 간섭이 상대적으로 적어 큰고니의 주 서식지가 되고 있는 낙동강 하구로부터의 거리와는 관련이 없었다. 멸종위기종인 큰고니 월동에 있어 안정적 경계공간 확보는 중요한 요소로 판단되었다. 이에 멸종위기종인 큰고니 서식을 위해서는 교량과 교량 사이가 최소 4km 이상 이격되어야만 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 향후 교량건설과 같은 하천생태계의 단절로 직결되는 개발 또는 복원에 있어 하나의 참고가 될 것이다.

Molecular markers have increasingly been used in plant genetic analysis, due to their obvious advantages over conventional phenotypic markers, as they are highly polymorphic, more in number, stable across different developmental stages, neutral to selection and least influenced by environmental factors. Among the PCR based marker techniques, ISSR is one of the simplest and widely used techniques, which involves amplification of DNA segment present at an amplifiable distance in between two identical microsatellite repeat regions oriented in opposite direction. Though ISSR markers are dominant like RAPD, they are more stable and reproducible. Because of these properties ISSR markers have recently been found using extensively for finger printing, pohylogenetic analysis, population structure analysis, varietal/line identification, genetic mapping, marker-assisted selection, etc. In mulberry (Morus spp.), ISSR markers were used for analyzing phylogenetic relationship among cultivated varieties, between tropical and temperate mulberry, for solving the vexed problem of identifying taxonomic positions of genotypes, for identifying markers associated with leaf yield attributing characters. As ISSR markers are one of the cheapest and easiest marker systems with high efficiency in generating polymorphism among closely related varieties, they would play a major role in mulberry genome analysis in the future.

Density functional theory was adopted to study the various surface products and their reaction channels focusing on the on-dimer configuration which has not been suggested before. Energetic results show that the most stable on-dimer configuration is the 6,6-[2+2] structure which resembles the typical [2+2] cycloaddition product. The 6,6-[2+2] product is also more stable than any other possible surface structures of inter-dimer configuration further suggesting its existence. Potential energy surface scan along various possible initial surface reactions show that some of the possible on-dimer surface products require virtually no reaction barrier indicating that initial population of on-dimer surface products is thermodynamically determined. Various surface isomerization reaction channels exist further facilitating thermal redistribution of the initial surface products.
