본 연구는 속리산 국립공원을 대상으로 이용객이 야생조류의 서식에 미치는 영향을 밝히기 위하여 실시되었다. 조사를 위하여 주등산로, 부등산로, 등산금지구역 등 총 4개의 조사지를 설정하여, 1989년 12월부터 1990년 10월 사이 4회에 걸쳐 line transect방법으로 조사하였다. 조사기간 동안 관찰된 야생조류는 텃새 23종, 여름철새 7종, 겨울철새 2종, 나그네새 4종의 총 36종 570개체로 평균서식밀도는 2.35마리/ha이었다. 주요 우점종은 박새, 쇠박새, 곤줄박이, 동고비의 순이었고. 이용강도가 낮은 지역에서는 박새류의 우점도가 현저하게 떨어지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 출현종수, 출현빈도 및 종다양도 모두 이용강도가 높은 지역에서 겨울철이나 봄철보다 이용객이 많아지는 여름철과 가을철에 현저하게 낮아졌으며, 상대적으로 이용강도가 낮은 지역에서는 변동이 적었다. 야생조류의 평균 출현빈도는 3.4회/km이였으며, 겨울철과 봄철에 비해 여름철이 30% 수준으로 감소하였다. 이상과 같이 야생조류의 종수, 종구성, 종다양도 및 출현빈도는 이용객에 의하여 큰 영향을 받고 있으며, 이용객이 집중하는 여름철과 이용강도가 높은 주등산로에서 더욱 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이용자에 의한 영향이 큰 주등산로와 여름철에 집중적인 이용을 제한하는 등 적극적인 야생조류의 보호대책이 요망된다.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes a significant economic burden in the animal production industry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of MAP in the feces of wild duck populations residing along a riverside close to farms in the center of Korea. From wild Spot-billed (Anas poecilorhyncha) and Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) ducks, 128 fecal samples were collected and analyzed using multiplex real-time PCR, sequencing, and nested PCR to confirm the presence of the organism. The molecular analyses showed that 44 samples (34.4%) were positive for MAP, suggesting a high prevalence of MAP in the wild duck population. Considering the nature and habitat of wild ducks, this result suggests that the organism was introduced from contaminated water from waste of nearby farms, and that the wild ducks may act as a transmitter of the organism to other wild birds or livestock.

An experiment was conducted among free-ranging red-winned blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) that acquired illness-induced conditioned taste aversion (CTA) by consuming insect prey tainted with a dose of parathion up to 2.0 mg/kg consumer body weight. Birds quickly acquired CTA and avoided all four insect prey during a lengthy posttest without parathion. This experiment proved that organophosphate insecticide application in the field might decrease the food consumption of wild birds and may also affect the reproductive success of breeding birds. Thus, CTA acquired accidentally after eating insecticide contaminated insect prey appears to be one of the reasons for the decreasing number of breeding songbirds in North America.

Background: Rocuronium bromide has been evaluated as a mydriatic agent in birds, but the species applied were limited and the dose and effect were variable. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of topical rocuronium bromide as mydriatics in 4 species according to horizontal palpebral fissure length: Feral pigeon (Columba livia), Common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), Northern boobook (Ninox japonica), and Eurasian eagle owl (Bubo bubo). Methods: A total of 32 birds (8 for each species) were included as pre-releasing examination. Rocuronium bromide was instilled in one randomly selected eye of each bird based on palpebral fissure length criteria (0.5 mg/50 µL for pigeons, 1 mg/100 µL for kestrels and boobook owls, and 2 mg/200 µL for eagle owls). The contralateral eye was used as control and treated with normal saline. After instillation of the drug, pupil diameter, pupillary light reflex, intraocular pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate were evaluated at 10 min intervals up to 180 min and at 30 min intervals up to 360 min. Results: Statistically significant mydriasis was obtained in all birds (p < 0.001). However, in boobook and eagle owls, marked mydriasis persisted until 360 min. Side effects including corneal erosion and lower eyelid paralysis were common, which was observed in 26/32 birds. Blepharospasm was also noted during this study. No systemic adverse signs were observed. Conclusions: Rocuronium bromide could be a good mydriatics option for 4 species of birds, however, further studies are needed to find lowest effective dose to reduce drug-related side effects.

The epidemiological investigation of outbreak in korea confirmed that the inflow of avian influenza (AI) is related to the migration of migratory birds. In this study, avian repellents instrument were implemented and developed using the visual effects of lasers in accordance with the situation of small domestic fowl farms, and monitoring cameras were installed around each instrument to investigate the frequency of wild birds appearing and evaluate the performance of the instrument. Observation showed that the appreance ratio was reduced by 95%, and no significant reduction in the intrusion prevention effect by adaptation was observed on all fowl farms. In conclusion, it is expected that the outbreak of wild bird-borne infectious diseases such as avian influenza will be decreased if the device is installed on domestic fowl farms.

Present green space planning of Korea pay little attention to biodiversity conservation in urban areas. The quality of urban wildlife habitat has been deteriorated severely due to fragmentation and isolation of urban open spaces. The application of ecological corridors to urban green space planning and management can greatly enhance the bird habitat of Seoul. The objectives of this study were to evaluate bird habitat potential of existing urban parks of Seoul, and to investigate methods to develop ecological corridors for wild birds. This study consists of three parts. The first part is to construct bird species/habitat relationship model. The second part is to evaluate 207 urban parks of Seoul with the model. Based on the relative potential for bird habitat, urban parks of Seoul can be classified into cores, nodes, and points of the network. Outcomes of this part can also be used to enhance the quality of bird habitats by identifying limits or weakness of existing green spaces for bird habitat. The final part is to develop three green network plans; north-south network, the Han river network, and a district network for Kangnam-Gu.

We described the successful treatment of cases of lead poisoning in a Whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus) and a Cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus) in Korea. The swan and vulture rescued were diagnosed with lead poisoning based on clinical signs, the presence of suspected lead-like particles in the ventriculus detected by radiography and elevated blood lead levels. Endoscopic retrieval for the swan and gastric lavage for the vulture were used to remove the lead respectively. After the removal of lead particles, a course of chelation treatment was administrated. This would be the first report of successfully treating wild birds with lead poisoning in Korea.

Avian paramyxovirus (APMV) type 4 and 6 were isolated during an avian influenza (AI) surveillance program of wild birds. This study also conducted experimental infection of wild-bird-origin APMV type 4 and 6 in specific pathogen free (SPF) chickens to study pathogenicity and transmission within domestic flocks. In addition, serological prevalence data of APMV type 4 and 6 in domestic fowls was conducted with chicken sera collected from 2007 to 2009 in order to understand infection status. The results of the animal experiment showed that APMV type 4 and 6 had the ability to infect chickens with sero-conversion and to transmit the virus from infected birds to contacted birds, but showed low pathogenicity. Serological tests revealed that APMV type 4 was widespread in the poultry industry, especially in layer flocks, but the positive rate for APMV type 6 was very low. This study concluded that wild bird-origin APMV type 4 and 6 could infect the chickens by inter-species transmission and the seroprevalence of APMV type 4 was quite high in Korean poultry. However, since almost all the chicken flocks had a high level of antibody titer against APMV type 1, there was possibility of cross reaction between APMV type 1 and 4, which made the interpretations more complicated. In order to understand infection status in the natural environment, additional study is necessary regarding the seroprevalence of APMV type 4 and 6 in the wild bird population.

도시에서 사람과 야생조류는 함께 살아가고 있으나, 도시화가 가져온 생태계 파편화로 조류의 서식과 이동에 위협 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 수원시의 야생조류 사체 위치 데이터를 토대로 조류에게 취약한 공간, 위협요인을 확인하고자, 사체 확인 지점과 반경 500m 이내의 공간적 분포 특성을 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 사체 확인 지점은 NDVI 0.3, NDBI -0.05, NDWI -0.16의 특성을 보였다. 반경 500m 이내에는 NDVI 0.34, NDBI -0.01, NDWI -0.18, 건물 높이 13.8m, 방음벽 길이 227.3m로 확인되었다. 토지피복유형은 초지, 시가화건조지역, 나지가 높은 비율로 나타났다. 특히, 산림, 저수지 등과 인접한 아파트의 녹지, 골프장 등이 섞여있는 시가화지역의 가장자리가 위협적인 공간으로 도출되었다. 도시에서 조류와 함께 살아가기 위해서는 환경영향평가 단계에서부터 수직적 공간 변화에 따른 영향이 검토되어야 하며, 이에 앞서 도시의 수직 구조물에 대한 공간 자료 구축과 현실화가 필요하다. 또한, 자연에서 도시로 변화될 수밖에 없는 공간은 야생동물이 안전하게 회피, 적응할 수 있는 시공간적 측면이 고려된 사전예방적 관리방안이 함께 마련되어야 할 것이다.
