A hole dwelling holothurian symbiotic crab was collected in the low tidal mark in Namhae Island. The crab was identified as Asthenognathus inaequipes Stimpson, 1858 and found to be new to Korean waters. The species was briefly illustrated and described.

During the long-term surveys of marine environment some ischyrocerid amphipods were collected, which indicated the various types of habitats. Among them the two species, Jassa marmarata Holmes, 1903 and J. marinai Conlan, 1990, are here reported from Korea for the first time with short redescriptions. J. marmarata occurs in the cirripedian community, while J. marinai between marine algal colonies at low tide on the rocky shore.

This paper focuses on algorithms based on the evolution, which is applied to various optimization problems. Especially, among these algorithms based on the evolution, we investigate the simple genetic algorithm based on Darwin's evolution, the Lamarckian algorithm based on Lamark's evolution and the Baldwin algorithm based on the Baldwin effect and also Investigate the difference among them in the biological and engineering aspects. Finally, through this comparison, we suggest a new algorithm to find more various solutions changing the genotype or phenotype search space and show the performance of the proposed method. Conclusively, the proposed method showed superior performance to the previous method which was applied to the constrained minimum spanning tree problem and known as the best algorithm.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), synthesized in the hypothalamus, plays a pivotal role in the regulation of vertebrate reproduction. Since molecular isoforms of GnRH and their receptors (GnRHR) have been isolated in a broad range of vertebrate species, GnRH and GnRHR provide an excellent model for understanding the molecular co-evolution of a peptide ligand-receptor pair. Vertebrate species possess multiple forms of GnRH, which have been created through evolutionary mechanisms such as gene/chromosome duplication, gene deletion and modification. Similar to GnRHs, GnRH receptors (GnRHR) have also been diversified evolutionarily. Comparative ligand-receptor interaction studies for non-mammalian and mammalian GnRHRs combined with mutational mapping studies of GnRHRs have aided the identification of domains or motifs responsible for ligand binding and receptor activation. Here we discuss the molecular basis of GnRH-GnRHR co-evolution, particularly the structure-function relationship regarding ligand selectivity and signal transduction of mammalian and non-mammalian GnRHRs.

The evolution of living organisms occurs via a combination of highly complicated processes that involve modification of various features such as appearance, metabolism and sensing systems. To understand the evolution of life, it is necessary to understand how each biological feature has been optimized in response to new environmental conditions and interrelated with other features through evolution. To accomplish this, we constructed contents-based trees for a two-component system (TCS) and metabolic network to determine how the environmental communication mechanism and the intracellular metabolism have evolved, respectively. We then conducted a comparative analysis of the two trees using ARACNE to evaluate the evolutionary and functional relationship between TCS and metabolism. The results showed that such integrated analysis can give new insight into the study of bacterial evolution.

이 연구는 중학교 '진화' 단원을 디지털 교재로 개발하여 학생들의 진화 개념 형성과 학습에 대한 흥미에 효과가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 오랜 시간에 의한 생물의 변화를 설명하는 생물 진화에 대한 설명은, 많은 내용을 다양하게 제공할 수 있고, 영상을 제작하고 편집할 수 있으며, 어려운 개념을 재미있게 제공할 수 있는 디지털 교과서가 서책형 교과서를 통해 이루어질 때 효과적일 수 있다. 연구를 위해 먼저 5E 순환학습 모형을 기반으로 전자책 저작 도구인 iBooks Author를 활용하여, 4차시로 구성된 진화수업을 만들었다. 개발한 디지털 교재의 효과 검증을 위해 서책형 수업과 디지털 교과서를 활용한 수업을 비교했다. 서책형 교재를 통한 수업과 디지털 교재를 활용한 수업 모두 진화 개념 형성에 유의미한 효과를 보였으나 생명 과학 흥미도와 진화 흥미도는 디지털 교재 수업 집단에서만 유의미하게 증가하였다. 또한 학생을 유형별로 나누어 디지털 교과서 효과를 확인한 결과 디지털 리터러시에 따라 스마트 기기에 친숙한 그룹이 수업에 더 적극적이었고 흥미가 높았다. 개발된 디지털 교재의 만족도 역시 디지털 리터러시가 높은 그룹에서 긍정적인 점수를 나타냈다. 이 연구 결과는 진화 영역 디지털 교재 개발은 어려운 진화 개념을 쉽고 재미있게 접근할 수 있는 수업 도구가 될 수 있음을 알려준다.

We surveyed the freshwater invertebrates of Jindo Island twice on July and September 2016, as part of a joint faunal survey conducted to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Korean Society of Systematic Zoology. Aquatic insects were not included in this study. We found 38 freshwater species from seven phyla: Porifera, Platyhelminthes, Nematomorpha, Mollusca, Annelida, Arthropoda, and Bryozoa. Twenty-one of the 38 species (55.3%) represented the first record of their respective species on Jindo Island. Among these species, a freshwater shrimp-parasitic isopod, Tachaea n. sp., was identified as a new species.
