Abstract

Ground beetle fauna of Mt. Bangtaesan in Inje-gun, Gangwon-do was investigated from June to October in 2010. Ground beetles were collected by pitfall trapping. A total of 34 species of 18 genera belonging to 7 families were identified from 1,041 collected ground beetles. Species richness was high in Pterostichinae (15 species, 44.1%), Carabinae (7 species, 20.6%), Harpalinae (4 species, 11.8%), Nebriinae (3 species, 8.8%) and others (5 species, 14.7%). Dominant species were Synuchus spp. (260 individuals, 25.0%), Aulonocarabus semiopacus (218 individuals, 20.9%), and Pterostichus audax (205 individuals, 19.7%) in order. Korean endemic species were collected 564 individuals belonging to 10 species. By principal component analysis (PCA), species distribution and abundance of ground beetles were different depending on habitat characteristics of vegetation, surrounding environment and feeding habitat. Carabinae and Pterostichinae which live in the forest were preferred in hardwoods and coniferous in the Bangtansan Natural Recreation Forest, while Callistinae and Harpalinae were collected in forest adjacent to grasslands. Overall, differences of habitat environments within forest are important factors associated with distribution of ground beetles. This result will provide useful informations with establishment of conservation program and long-term monitoring against environmental change within mountain by using ground beetles.

강원도 인제군 소재 방태산 자연휴양림 일대에서 2010년 6월부터 10월까지 채집한 1,041개체의 지표성 딱정벌레류는 7아과 18속 34종으로 동정되었다. 아과별 종 수(species richness)는 길쭉먼지벌레아과 15종(44.1%), 딱정벌레아과 7종(20.6%), 먼지벌레아과 4종(11.8%), 가슴먼지벌레아과 3종(8.8%) 및 기타 아과 5종(14.7%) 등의 순이었다. 우점종은 Synuchs속 일종(260개체, 25.0%), 민줄딱정벌레(218개체, 20.9%) 및 수도길쭉먼지벌레(205개체, 19.7%)이었다. 고유종은 11종 564개체가 채집되었다. Principal component analysis(PCA) 결과, 서식처의 식생 및 주변 환경의 특성에 따라 종 구성 및 발생 밀도에 차이가 있었다. 특히 딱정벌레아과 및 길쭉먼지벌레아과와 같은 산지에 서식하는 지표성 딱정벌레들은 방태산 자연휴양림 내의 활엽수림 및 침엽수림을 선호한 반면, 무늬먼지벌레아과 및 먼지벌레아과 대부분은 초지와 인접한 지점에서만 출현하여 숲과 인접한 초지의 유무 등 서식환경의 차이가 지표성 딱정벌레류 분포에 중요한 요인이었다. 산림에서의 지표성 딱정벌레 군집 및 분포에 관한 분석 결과는 앞으로 환경변화에 따른 장기모니터링 및 산지 보존프로그램을 수립하는데 유용한 자료로 제공될 것이다.
