Two Korean species of Centroceras K tzing, Ceramiaceae was investigated taxonomically. C. clavulatum (Ag.) Montagne collected at several sited along the coast of Korea was characterized by regular dischotomous branches with whorl spines at every node, whereas, C. distichum Okamura collected at Soando in the southern coast was by alternate branches with gland cells around nodes. Biogeographic data show that Korea is almost northern limit in distribution of the former species.

Biodiversity is plummeting worldwide, and the major causes of such decline include habitat degradation and climate change. While cities do contribute to the negative impact to the environment, they can also serve as strategic centres for conservation programs. Sites qualifying as biogeographic islands within metropolitan Seoul were studied for the occurrence of two hylid species: the endangered Hyla suweonensis and the abundant H. japonica. This study demonstrates that neither habitat diversity nor surface area, but solely the occurrence of aggregated rice paddies is a requisite for H. suweonensis, hypothetically due to its strict breeding requirements. On the contrary, H. japonica occurrence was not affected by any of these factors, and all types of habitats studied were adequate for this species. The presence of an endangered species within the boundaries of one of the most populated metropolises suggests a strong natural resilience, which should be enhanced with appropriate actions. We emphasize that the management plans therein can, and should, be used as the first step in the conservation of H. suweonensis in metropolitan Seoul.

This work aims to collect a biogeographic informations on the biota, alpine ecosystem, nature reserves, forest ecosystem of North Korea, and also to accumulate a basic data on the current situation and problem of the natural ecosystem of North Korea for the preparation of future cooperation and exchange between South and North Koreas. The obtained findings are as follow. First, North Korean biota contains 18,013 species, and consists of 6,710 plant species, including 3,860 species of vascular plants. Secondly, urgent investigation on the biogeographically important arctic-alpine and alpine plants and ecosystem, those are known to be endangered due to environmental change and global warming, is required. Thirdly, the conservations of diverse nature in North Korea are conducted by the introduction of various systems, such as nature preservation region, reserves for plant, animal and sea bird, and natural monuments. Fourthly, out of 9.5 million hectares of forest, one million hectares have already faced forest denudation, thus caused lots of damages for forest ecosystem. Sharp decline of North Korean forest land are due mainly to the expansion of terraced dry-field farming and deforestation. Recovery of denudated forest land should be approached by both South and North Korean sides to solve the problem of shortage of foods and restoration of natural ecosystem of North Korea.

Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis for 29 populations (n=543) of the wrinkled frog, Rana rugosa, from Korea and Japan was peformed to assess the degree of genic variation and genetic diversity, and to understand the biogeographic pattern of distribution and speciation. A sum of 22 presumptive loci was screened from 17 enzymes and general proteins. Four loci, Aco, Est-3, Me-2, and Pgm, demonstrated high levels of polymorphism. The degree of average genetic variation of R. rugosa was P=22.7% (9.1-40.9%), Ho=0.086 (0.048-0.165) and He=0.090 (0.042-0.168). In the south-eastern region of the Korean peninsula (Chongsong, Yongchon, Ulsan, Kyongju, Pohang, yongdok and Ulchin), a few unique alleles in the Mpi locus were detected and their biogeographic implications were considered. The degree of genetic differentiation among the Korean populations was moderate (S=0.900), whereas the degree of genetic diversity between Korean and Japanese populations was notably high (S=0.687, D=0.293). This result corresponds with the data obtained by the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence (Lee et al., 1999) suggesting that the Korean and Japanese R. rugosa might have evolved a specific level of genetic differentiation since their geographic isolation.

Urban development typically results in many species being confined to small, isolated and degraded habitat fragments. Fragment size and isolation underpin many studies of modified landscape to prevent biodiversity loss. However, habitat characteristics such as vegetation structure and edge effects are less frequently incorporated in planning. The relative influence of biogeographic (e.g. size, isolation) and vegetation parameters on assemblages is poorly understood, but critical for conservation management. In this study, the relative importance of biogeographic and vegetation parameters in explaining the diversity of forest-interior dwelling birds in forest fragments in Chungcheong Province Area. Fragment size and vegetation characteristics were consistently important predictors of bird diversity. Forestinterior bird richness was influenced by fragment size (0.437), wood age (0.332), wood diameter (0.068), and patch shape (-0.079). To preserve bird diversity of Chungcheong Province Area, it is important to consider differing responses of bird diversity to landscape change, move beyond a focus primarily on spatial attributes (size, isolation) to recognize that landscape change also has profound effects on habitat composition and quality. The result is very useful for long-term aspect of biodiversity conservation plan in regional scale.

물부추속($Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ L.)은 물부추과($Iso{\ddot{e}}taceae$)에 속하는 이형포자성을 보이는 다년생 정수성 수생식물로, 전 세계에 200여종이 분포하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 물부추속 식물은 고생대 말기에 출현하여 오랜 진화적인 역사를 지닌다. 다양한 생육환경에서 광범위하게 분포하고, 분포 지역에서는 많은 종들이 높은 고유성을 보임으로서 멸종위기종으로 보호되고 있다. 오랜 종분화 과정에서 극도의 수렴진화와 자가배수체 형성과정을 거치면서 형태적으로 매우 단순화되었다. 이로 인하여 이 식물군의 형태적인 형질을 이용한 계통학적 연구와 유연관계의 규명에 많은 어려움을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자계통학적 마커를 이용하여 극동아시아에 분포하는 물부추속의 계통학적 유연관계를 파악하고, 분자시계를 이용하여 이들의 식물지리학적 기원 및 분화시기 등에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 분자마커로서 핵과 엽록체 DNA의 염기서열을 이용한 분자계통학적 연구결과, 동아시아 물부추속은 크게 두 개의 분계군으로 구분된다: 일본 홋카이도에 분포하는 북방계분계군과 나머지 물부추속 식물을 포함하는 동아시아 분계군으로 구분이 된다. 북방계인 아시아물부추($Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ asiatica)는 극동러시아와 북미의 북서부지역의 물부추속 식물과 깊은 유연관계를 보인다. 이 분계군은 북미의 알래스카 지역에서 베링육교(Bering land bridge)를 통해 중신세후기(late Miocene)에 시베리아로 전파된 것으로 분석되었다. 나머지 동아시아 물부추속 식물분계군($Iso{\ddot{e}}tes$ sinensis, I. yunguiensis, I. hypsophila, I. orientalis, I. japonica, I. coreana, I. taiwanensis, I. jejuensis, I. hallasanensis)은 파푸아뉴기니아와 호주의 물부추속 식물과 밀접한 유연관계를 보인다. 이들은, 점신세 후기(late Oligocene)에 호주 대륙의 동부 지역으로부터 원거리 산포과정(long-distance dispersal)을 통해 이동되어진 것으로 추론되었다. 향후에 차세대 염기서열 분석(next generation sequencing)과 같은 대규모 유전자 분석법을 이용하여 유용한 분자마커들을 개발하게 되면 전 세계에 분포하는 물부추속 식물에 대한 전반적인 계통지리학적 분석과 각 대륙에 고유종으로 분포하고 있는 이들의 진화적인 역사를 규명할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Foliose species of the Bangiaceae (Porphyra s. l.) are very important in Korean fisheries, and their taxonomy and ecophysiology have received much attention because of the potential for developing or improving aquaculture techniques. Although 20 species of foliose Bangiales have been listed from the Korean coast, some of them remain uncertain and need further comparative morphological studies with molecular comparison. In this study, we confirm the distribution of four Pyropia species from the east coast of Korea, Pyropia kinositae, P. moriensis, P. onoi, and P. retorta sp. nov., based on morphology and rbcL sequence data. Although P. onoi was listed in North Korea in old floral works, its occurrence on the east coast of South Korea is first revealed in this study based on molecular data. P. kinositae and P. moriensis, which were originally described from Hokkaido, Japan, are first reported on the east coast of Korea in this study. Pyropia retorta sp. nov. and P. yezonesis share a similar thallus color and narrow spermatangial patches in the upper portion of the frond, and they have a sympatric distribution. However, P. retorta can be distinguished by the curled or twisted thalli and by molecular data. The biogeographic pattern of the two native species, P. kinositae and P. retorta, suggests that the east coast of Korea may have been a place of refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and then recolonized to the northern part of Japan through the restored East Korean Warm Current after the LGM.
