Abstract

The community temperature index (CTI) reflects the temperature and environmental preferences of the community. We investigated the distribution patterns of major aquatic insect assemblages (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera; EPT) based on CTI in streams of South Korea. We selected unpolluted 151 study sites at upper streams(less than 3rd) with less than 1.5 mg L-1 of biochemical oxygen demand. Study sites were clustered into six groups based on the similarities of their EPT composition. All three orders showed a continuous decrease in the number of species as CTI increased, especially in Plecoptera. In addition, the functional feeding groups were also significantly changed according the CTI changes. Temperature tolerance range of each group's indicator species varied according to the CTI of the group. Finally, changes of CTI reflected differences of EPT assemblages according to the differences of environmental condition including temperature. Therefore, CTI can be applied to the evaluation and preservation of stream ecosystems and prediction of community changes due to climate change.

군집온도지수는 군집 구성원의 온도에 대한 선호도를 반영한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 하천 중 BOD 1.5 mg L-1 이하이며 하천차수 3 이하인 151개 지점을 선정하여 CTI의 차이에 따른 하루살이목, 강도래목, 날도래목 (EPT) 군집지수와 섭식기능군의 변화를 분석하였다. 세 가지 목 모두 CTI의 증가에 따라 출현 종수가 지속적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 강도래목에서는 CTI가 낮은 그룹에서 개체수도 높은 값을 보였으며 세 가지 목 중 가장 민감한 분류군으로 나타났다. 섭식기능군에서도 CTI가 증가함에 따라 SH 비율은 낮아지고 GC의 비율은 증가하는 유의한 변화가 발생하였으며, 이를 통해 CTI가 변화할 때 기능적인 측면 역시 변화함을 확인하였다. 우점종은 그룹에 따른 차이가 크게 나타나지 않았으나 지표종은 그룹의 CTI에 따라 서식온도범위가 나눠지는 경향을 보였다. NMDS 결과는 EPT 분류군 중에서 강도래목이 온도에 가장 민감한 모습을 보이는 점과 섭식기능군의 경향성 차이 등의 앞선 결과들을 뒷받침하였다. 본 연구는 기후 변화에 따른 저서성 대형무척추동물의 군집 변화 예상에 기여하고 이에 따른 하천 생태계 보전 전략 수립에 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
