Abstract

Although Guleopdo is small island of only $1.71\;km^2$, the endangered butterfly species, Argynnis nerippe, is abundant there. This study was carried out to estimate the abundance of A. nerippe in Guleopdo, using quadrate, mark-recapture, and line-transect methods. Although the study was insufficient, the population size was estimated at 4,467 to 6,700 larvae and approx. 1,000 adults. A. nerippe was the most abundant among butterfly species in Guleopdo, and it comprised 32% of the total butterflies. A total of 28 butterfly species were observed in this study, and 3 species of these species were migrating species. When the abundance of A. nerippe throughout the country during the period from 1938 to 2010 was studied, we found that it decreased abruptly in the 2000s. Presently, A. nerippe inhabits a few locations in the mid-northern region and western islands. The relatively high numbers of A. nerippe in Guleopdo was due to conservation of natural grasslands and grazing of livestock, which provides adequate habitat for this species.

굴업도는 면적 $1.71\;km^2$의 작은 섬이지만 멸종위기종인 왕은점표범나비가 많이 서식하고 있다. 이 연구는 굴업도에서 왕은점표범나비의 서식실태 파악을 위해 2010년에 방형구법, 표시-포획법과 선조사법으로 조사하였다. 조사가 충분하지 않았지만, 왕은점표범나비의 유충은 4,467마리 또는 6,700마리, 성충은 약 1,000마리가 서식하는 것으로 추정되었다. 왕은점표범나비는 최우점종으로 전체 나비 개체수의 32%를 차지하였다. 또한 총 28종의 나비가 발견되었고, 이 중 3종은 미접이었다. 1938년부터 2010년까지 전국의 왕은점표범나비 분포지를 시대별로 비교한 결과 2000년대 이후 급감하였으며, 현재 중북부 지역과 서해 도서지역에 제한적으로 서식하는 것으로 나타났다. 굴업도에서 왕은점표범나비가 많이 서식하는 것은 자연상태의 초지가 많으며, 가축의 방목이 적당한 서식처를 제공하기 때문이다.
