Abstract

This study was intended to test the feasibility of genetic analysis of wintering population of geese using their feces samples. This noninvasive approach is quite significant and effective because we do not need to capture or harm geese to obtain the samples. We collected the feces from two different populations of wintering geese in Korea in 2007. Finally thirty two feces were analyzed through a molecular genetic method. As a result, 14 haplotypes were identified and classified into two groups, white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons) and bean geese (Anser fabalis). We established the method to make molecular genetic experiment more efficient using the feces. This study has a significance as the first genetic result on wintering population of geese in Korea using noninvasive sampling method.

본 연구는 비침습적 분변 샘플을 이용하여 기러기류의 유전분석이 가능한지 알아보고자 수행되었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 분변을 이용한 연구의 실험적 효율성을 높이는 방법이 요구되었다. 따라서 2007년 한국에서 월동하는 겨울 기러기류의 분변을 서로 다른 두 집단에서 채집하였고, 최종적으로 총 32개 분변 샘플이 분자유전학적 기법으로 분석되었다. 그 결과 총 14개의 haplotype이 나타났으며, 이는 쇠기러기 (Anser albifrons)와 큰기러기(Anser fabalis)그룹으로 분류되었다. 분변을 이용한 연구는 야생에 서식하고 있는 종에게 직접적인 위해를 가하지 않는 방법으로 큰 의미가 있다. 본 연구를 통하여 분변 샘플을 이용한 분자유전학적 실험의 효율성을 높일 수 있는 연구방법이 찾아졌으며, 또한 이 결과는 비침습적 분변 샘플을 이용한 우리나라 월동 기러기류의 첫 번째 연구로서 그 의의가 있다.
