2004년 2월부터 2005년 6월까지 제주특별자치도 애월읍 신엄리에서 흑로의 번식과정을 조사하였다. 한배 산란수는 $3.24{\pm}0.75$개(N=17, 범위 $2{\sim}4$개)였으며, 알은 새벽이나 밤에 $1{\sim}3$일 간격으로 산란하였다. 알(N=39)의 크기는 장경 $46.73{\pm}l.91mm$, 단경 $34.06{\pm}0.83mm$, 무게 $27.67{\pm}3.12g$, 두께 $0.26{\pm}0.03mm$였다. 흑로의 둥지 보수나 짓기는 매년 2월부터 시작해서 늦게는 4월말까지, 산란기는3월초부터 늦게는 5월 초순까지였고, 부화기는4월 초순에서 5월 중순까지, 이소기는 5월 중순부터 7월말까지였다. 보충 산란은 1차 번식과정 중 포란과 육추에 실패한 $5{\sim}6$월에 바로 시도하는 것으로 추정된다. 포란 기간은 $28.17{\pm}4.12$일(N=6)이었으며, 알은 비동시성으로 부화되었다. 육추 기간은 $40.00{\pm}6.84$일(N=5)이었으며, 새끼의 부리, 날개, 부척, 체중의 성장속도는 부화가 빠른 개체일수록 빠른 경향을 보였다. 우리나라에서 번식하는 백로과 조류의 산란시기를 비교해보면, 흑로는 왜가리보다는 느렸으나, 해오라기, 쇠백로, 중대백로는 보다는 빨랐다.

본 연구는 2012년부터 2014년까지의 번식기 동안 광주광역시에서 제비의 영소지 선택과 번식생태를 파악하기 위하여 이루어졌다. 모든 둥지는 건물의 수직 벽과 지붕에 붙어 있었으며, 둥지의 외측 직경은 $18.2{\pm}3.2cm$, 깊이는 $9.8{\pm}3.1cm$, 둥지 내측 직경은 $11.2{\pm}1.5cm$, 내측 깊이는 $3.4{\pm}0.5cm$로 지면에서 평균 $2.9{\pm}0.3m$ 높이에 위치하였다. 번식 둥지는 시멘트 벽(44.9%), 목재(23.1%), 벽돌(21.8%), 전등(6.4%)에 부착되어 있었다. 한배 산란수는 2~5개 범위로 평균 4.5개이었다. 평균 알 장경은 $18.23{\pm}0.73mm$, 단경은 $13.11{\pm}0.25mm$, 알 부피는 $1.60{\pm}0.11cm^3$, 알 형태지수는 $1.39{\pm}0.05$, 알 무게는 $1.69{\pm}0.15g$이었다. 부화 및 이소 성공률은 각각 89.1%와 84.5%이었다. 번식 실패의 주요 원인은 미수정란과 포식, 둥지훼손, 번식포기로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 제비의 서식지 보존 및 종 관리에 필요한 자료로 널리 활용될 것이라 판단된다.

Body size of the Russet Sparrow (Passer rutilans) was investigated during the breeding seasons of 1994 to 1996, in south-eastern Hokkaido, Japan. Both male and female arrived slightly earlier in isolated forests than in shelter belts during the study. Wing lengths of males and females were significantly longer in isolated forests than those in shelter belts, but the other body size characteristics were not differ significantly. The results indicate habitat selection of the birds depended on their body constructions, in which wing length as an indicator, body size may be an important factor. Large-sized birds select the better quality habitat than birds of small size.

Yellow bitterns (Ixobrychus sinensis) are a small wetland bird common to Asian countries including South Korea, Japan, and China. The aim of this study is to describe diet of yellow bitterns during the breeding season in artificial wetland of northeastern South Korea between May to August 1999-2001. For the purposes of this paper, we observe the frequency of nest visiting by parents during the chick rearing period. A total of 98 boluses regurgitated by 52 chicks aged 1 day to 11 days after hatching form the sample and are shown to contain 323 food items. A bolus contained mean 3.8 items and weighs 0.2 g to 7.7 g. The most regularly occurring food items recorded are fish (63%) and insets (33%). In terms of fish, top mouth minnows (Pseudorasbora parva) and crucian carps (Carassius auratus) are frequently observed. In terms of insects, there are mosquitoes (Diptera), instars of dragonfly (Libelluidae), damselflies (Coenagrinonidae) and water bugs (Diplonychus japonicus). Yellow bitterns were also shown to feed on bull frogs (Rana catesbeiana), shrimp (Palaemonidae), and spiders (Araneae). The size of fish in a bolus ranged from 15.56 mm to 93.73 mm (mean, 37.08 mm). The amount of food can be observed to increase with the age of chicks (r = 0.279, P = 0.025, N = 64) but parents did not provide larger fish as chicks grew. Parent birds visited nests more frequently when they have a larger brood ($F_{1,21}$ = 14.529, P = 0.001). Our results suggest that fish is the most important prey during the breeding season and that age of chicks is related to amount of diet in yellow bitterns.

We monitored a breeding population of the Asian toad (Bufo gargarizans), in the Wonheunge pond at Sannamdong, Chungju, from 5 March to 11 April, 2006 and 14 February to 31 March, 2007 to investigate their movement patterns, breeding population sizes, and physical characteristics. Terrestrial migration to the pond started on 5 March in 2006 and 14 February in 2007. We captured a total of 266 immigrating individuals (213 males, 53 females) in 2006 and 307 (222 males, 85 females) in 2007, and found 50 adults apparently killed by motor vehicles while migrating to the pond in 2007. Emigration from the pond to terrestrial sites started on 15 March 2006 and 5 March 2007. We captured a total of 245 emigrating toads (181 males, 65 females) in 2006 and 99 (92 males, 7 females) in 2007. An additional 10 emigrating adults were found dead on the road. During both the immigration and emigration periods, two peaks in capture frequency appeared for each sex in each breeding season. The immigration peaks corresponded with higher temperatures, while the emigration peaks corresponded with high humidity. Migrating Asian toads showed sexual size dimorphism and a male-biased sex ratio. Body weights and SVL (snout-vent length) of immigrating and emigrating individuals were negatively related with migration dates.

We analyzed soil characteristics, soil seed banks, and plant communities in a small islet in Ganwol Lake from May 2005 to August 2006 to examine the forces driving plant settlement on sand bars and the effects of plant settlement patterns on nesting sites of little terns (Sterna albifrons). The soil nutrients contents in a site where the feces of wintering birds accumulate (N: 15.4 mg/kg, P: 10.5 mg/kg, LOI: 0.51 %, pH: 6.8) and a site where organic sediments accumulate (N: 20.7 mg/kg, P: 16.4 mg/kg, LOI: 0.40%, pH: 6.6) were much higher those of a control site which was not affected by bird feces and organic sediments (N: 4.1 mg/kg, P: 5.4 mg/kg, LOI: 0.41%, pH: 6.7). However, a seed bank was formed only on the site with accumulated organic sediments. Plant settlement was accelerated by feces from wintering birds and organic sediment accumulation on sand bars in Ganwol Lake. The percentage of area disturbed by human activities increased from 0.2% in May 2005 to 13.9% in August 2006, and the percentage of annual communities increased from 27.5% to 43.3%, but the percentage of open area decreased from 55.2% to 28.0% from May 2005 to August 2006. These increases in disturbed area and annual communities decreased the open area for breeding of little terns. The enlargement of P. communis and T. angustata communities was suppressed by irregular flooding. These results provide useful information for the management of little tern breeding sites for conservation purposes.
