Abstract

This study surveyed the altitudinal diversity and distribution of butterflies inhabiting Mt. Jirisan. Field surveys were conducted thrice (May, June, and July) using a line transect method along four routes in 2015. During the survey, a total of five families, 58 species, and 769 individuals were collected. Of the species collected, the majority belonged to the family Nymphalidae (28 species), followed by Hesperiidae (nine species), Pieridae (eight species), Lycaenidae (seven species), and Papilionidae (six species). As for the individuals, Pieridae accounted for the largest number (333 individuals), followed by Nymphalidae (309 individuals), Lycaenidae (63 individuals), Hesperiidae (33 individuals), and Papilionidae (31 individuals). A cluster analysis performed on the butterfly species distinguished three altitude zones. The butterflies showed different ecological traits in each of the altitude zones. Analysis of the altitudes of the habitats of eight dominant species revealed that each species inhabited a particular altitude. This study confirmed the hypothesis that continuous monitoring will identify changes in the altitudinal distribution and diversity of butterflies on Mt. Jirisan in response to climate change.

이 연구에서 지리산의 낮은 고도에서부터 높은 고도까지 나비의 종다양성, 고도에 따른 생태적 특성, 우점종의 고도 분포에 대해 알아보았다. 나비는 총 5과 58종 769개체의 나비를 확인하였다. 낮은 고도와 높은 고도에서 종다양성은 높게 나타나고 있었다. 군집분석을 통해 3개(낮은 고도, 중간 고도, 높은 고도)로 구분하였으며, 낮은 고도에 비해 높은 고도에서는 서식지 범위가 좁은 종의 비율이 높았으며, 단식성 나비의 비율이 높게 나타나고, 다화성 나비의 비율이 높게 나타났다. 배추흰나비(Pieris rapae)는 600m 이하의 고도에서 서식하고, 큰흰줄표범나비(Argynnis ruslana), 먹그늘나비(Lethe diana)는 900 m 이상의 고도에 서식하며, 특히 큰흰줄표범나비(Argynnis ruslana)는 1,000m 이상에서 서식하고 있었다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 지속적인 모니터링 실시를 통해 지리산에서 기후변화에 따른 나비의 고도 분포 변화 및 다양성 변화 양상을 확인할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
