초록

생물의 몸 크기와 환경의 관계에 대해서는 오래전부터 현재까지 활발하게 진행되고 있는 연구의 한 분야이다. 최근까지도 생물의 크기와 서식지 환경과의 관계를 설명하는 생태지리학적 법칙 ecogeographic rule을 바탕으로 이를 규명하고자 하는 연구들이 다양한 동물 그룹을 대상으로 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 남한의 최남단에 위치한 섬 제주도에 서식하는 청개구리(Hyla japonica)를 대상으로 서식지 환경과 생물의 크기와의 관계를 확인하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 제주도 내에서 발견되는 청개구리 번식지 3개 지점(천지, 봉개, 애월)에서 연구가 진행되었다. 각 개체군의 SVL, HW, BW를 측정하였으며, 크기에 미치는 환경 요인을 분석하기 위해 고도, 경도, 위도, 연평균 기온, 연평균 강수량을 측정하였다. 연구결과, 지역에 따른 청개구리의 크기 차이는 뚜렷했으며, 애월 집단의 크기가 가장 컸고, 천지 집단이 가장 작았다. 청개구리 크기에 영향을 미치는 환경 요소는 고도가 가장 중요하게 나타났으며, SVL, HW, BW에서 뚜렷한 양의 상관관계를 보여주었다. 청개구리의 크기는 높은 고도로 갈수록 커졌으며, 이러한 경향성은 크기와 관련된 생물학적 법칙 중 하나인 베르그만의 룰에서의 설명과 일치하였다. 결론적으로 서식지의 환경은 청개구리의 크기에 영향을 줄 수 있으며, 지역에 따라 일정한 방향성을 가지며 나타남을 알 수 있음을 보여준다.

The relationship between the body size of species and the environment has been an active research subject for many years. Until recently, studies had focused on the relationship between the body size and environment based on the ecogeographic rule for various animal groups. In this study, we examined the relationship between body size of Hyla japonica and the habitat environment in Jeju island located at the southernmost part of the Korean peninsula. We collected H. japonica from three breeding sites, Cheonji, Bonggae, and Aewol, and measured SVL, BW, and HW of the species. We also measured the altitude, longitude, latitude, annual mean temperature, and annual mean precipitation of each site to analyze the relationship between the body size and the habitat environment. The analysis results showed that there was the clear difference of the body size according to the habitat and the body size in Aewol was significantly bigger than others, while the body size in Cheonji was the smallest. The altitude was the most important environmental variable and showed a positive correlation with body size. The body size of H. japonica increased as the altitude increased, and this results were consistent with Bergmann's rule, one of the biological laws related to body size. In conclusion, the environment could affect the body size of H. japonica, and the body size has a certain direction according to the environment.
