Abstract

The Black-tailed gull (Larus crassirostris) is one of the most common gull species in the Northeast Asia and classified as LC (least concern) in the IUCN Red List. The bird has become a useful indicator for marine environmental pollution and habitat disruption, since the human activities impacted marine environments. Here we show that the black-tailed Gull has 6 haplotypes and some rare haplotypes are locally limited implying that the bird may not disperse far. This study may be the first report on population genetic study of Black-tailed Gull in Korea and could be used as the baseline data for monitoring and genetic study on the bird as an environmental indicator.

괭이갈매기는 동북아시아에서 가장 흔한 갈매기류 중 하나이며, IUCN에 의하면 LC(Least Concern)로 분류되어 있다. 인간의 활동이 해양환경에 영향을 미친 이래 괭이갈매기는 해양 환경오염과 서식지 교란의 중요한 지표종이 되었다. 본 연구에서 괭이갈매기가 6개의 미토콘드리아 CO1 하플로타입(haplotype)이 있고, 이중 일부 희귀 haplotype은 지리적으로 제한되어 나타난다는 사실을 확인하였으며, 이러한 현상은 본 종이 멀리 분산하지 않음을 암시한다. 본 논문은 한국에서 괭이갈매기를 대상으로 한 첫번째 개체군 유전적 연구결과이며, 환경지표종으로서 모니터링과 유전학적 연구의 기초자료가 될 것이다.
