Abstract

Mammals act as an important role in maintaining ecosystem, but direct observation is very difficult. Nevertheless, in order to understand the impact of various changes about a sudden environment, long-term monitoring through direct investigation is essential. This study investigated home range analysis using GPS tracking device and behavioral ecology of Korean waterdeer (Hydropotes inermis), indigenous and native species in Korea. Studies on ecological characteristics and home range of Korean waterdeer are insufficient. Therefore, we studied home range using the GPS technique for critical point of existing research. Data showed the active movement in daytime ($44.1km^2$) than night ($30.0km^2$) and large area of activity in winter ($3.7km^2$) and spring ($44.1km^2$) than summer($0.04km^2$) and autumn ($0.01km^2$). The most used area of Korean waterdeer was forested area and wetland, agricultural area, waters in order of frequency based on the land coverage map. Our research represents overall characteristics of Korean water deer due to measurement of area of activity. However, this research signified behavioral ecology for Korean waterdeer, and further investigation in necessary.

포유동물은 생태계에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있으며 환경의 변화를 파악하기 위해서는 장기적인 연구가 필수이다. 고라니는 한국 고유종으로 풍부한 개체수가 존재하지만 고라니의 서식지의 생태적 특징과 행동권에 대한 자료가 부족하다 따라서 본 연구는 우리나라 고유종인 고라니의 행동연구를 위해 GPS 장치를 부착하였다. 연구 결과 주간활동이 야간보다 서식반경이 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 봄철이 겨울철 및 다른 계절보다 월등하게 큰 것으로 나타났다, 고라니의 대부분 토지이용은 산림 및 습지와 농경지인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 고라니의 서식지 행동을 측정함으로써 행동생태학에 대한 중요성을 알 수 있었다. 또한 환경변화에 따른 포유류의 행동반경의 변화를 연구하기 위해서 후속적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.
