한국산 살모사속(뱀과) 2종의 지리적 변이 및 종간 잡종

Geographic Variation and Interspecific Hybridization between Two Species of the Genus Agkistrodon (Crotalidae) in Korea

한국산 살모사속 (Agkistrodom) 2종의 유전적, 형태적 및 종간잡종 형성 유.무를 구명하기 위하여 남한의 7개 지역에서 147개체를 채집하여 전기영동 및 형태형질 분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 15개의 성소 및 단백질에서 19개의 유전자를 검출하여 유전적 변이를 조사한 바 5개 유전자(26.3%)는 종간 및 집단간에 전혀 차이가 없었고 나머지 14개의 유전자중 4개 유전자는 매우 높은 률의 유전적 변이를 나타내었다. 2. 각 집단의 유전적 변이정도를 산출한 결과 A. b. brevicaudus는 평균 A= 1.55, P=42.1%, HD=0.096 및 HG=0.1l5였고 A .ussuriensis는 A= 1.45, P=31.6%, HD=0.1l7 및 HG=0.122로서 타 파충류에 비하여 높은 유전적 변이를 나타냈으며 이는 이들 종의 집단이 크고 안정된 상태에 있다고 사료된다. 3. 형태적으로 2종의 중간형으로 여겨졌던 제주집단은 강릉집단의 A .ussuriensis와 동일종으로 확인되었으며 종간 잡종은 전혀 찾아볼 수 없었다. 4. 2종간의 유전적 근록치는 S=0.662로서 이들은 약 180만년전에 분화되었으리라 추산된다.

Genetic and morphometric comparison between two species of the genus Agkistrodon were performed to estimate the degree of genic variation and to clarify the taxonomic status of Cheju population, a suspected hybrid form between A. blomhoffii brevicaudus and A u ussuriensis. A sum of 147 specimens representing six populations of A.b. brevicaudus and two populations of A ussuriensis was used in this study. Out of the 21 loci examined, 5 loci (Adh, Ldh-2, Mdh-2, Mpi, Pgi) were monomorphic with identical mobility in both species. O Other Sioci (Aco, Gp, Fum, [po and Xdh in A b. brevicaudus; Est, Got-l, Gp, Mdh-l and 6Pgd in A ussuriensis) were highly poplymorphic. The degree of genic variation of Ab. b brevicaudus and A ussuriensis was A=1.SS, P=42.1%, HD=0.096, HG=O.l1S, and A= 1.4S, P = 31.6%, HD=0.117, HG =0.121, repectively. These values are twofold higher t than those of other reptilian species reported (Selander, 1976) including Korean species of Rhabdophis tigrina and Elaphe dione (Paik and Yang, 1986, 1987). The average values of t the genetic similarities among six populations of A b. brevicaudus and two populations of A ussuriensis were S=0.919 and S=0.962, respectively, whereas the value between species was S = 0.662. Presumed divergent time estimate (Nei, 1975) of these two species was about 1 1.8 million years ago. The analysis of the geographic variations of various morphological c characters was based on Gloyd’s criteria (Gloyd, 1972). Coloration of tongue and tail tip, t the number of ventral scales, and the number of subcaudal scales are good diagnostic c characters to identify these two species. The pattern of cross band is, however, highly variable within and between populations of both species. No hybrid was detected and the s suspected hybrid form of Cheju population falls within the range of A. ussuriensis in the g genetic and morphometric analyses.
