Understanding how future climate conditions will be impact on the biodiversity and species composition is important, because biodiversity becomes more important in environment assessment. To understand the biological changes including diversity and species composition over time (temporal variation within a year), the species diversity and composition of ground beetles were investigated in two well-preserved areas in the Sobaeksan National Park using pitfall traps. In addition, relationships between ground beetles and environmental variables were studied by considering temporal variation. We collected 2,146 ground beetle specimens representing 45 species, and individual-based rarefaction curves indicated that similar species richness was found between Geumseon Valley (GV) and Namcheon Valley (NV). The Bray-Curtis matrix comparisons between study sites were characterized by similar ground beetles sample heterogeneity, while temporal variations in abundance, species richness, and ${\beta}-diversity$ of ground beetles showed rather difference over time according to location of study sites. In GV site, minimum temperature was selected as the best predictor for abundance, species richness, and ${\beta}-diversity$ of ground beetles, while those relationships in NV site were more complicated. In conclusion, our study suggests that understanding the different response of ground beetles to climatic variables related to local habitat conditions is important to predict the effect of climate change on biological communities.

Sensilla on the aedeagi of 4 species under the genus Damaster were studied using scanning electron microscopy. A total of 37 types of sensilla were distinguished from the aedeagi of the species examined. The number of sensilla types was the largest in D. (Coptolabrus) smaragdinus branickii, 25, and 23 in D. (C.) jankowskii jankowskii. In D. (Acoptolabrus) gehinii gehinii and D. (Damaster) blaptoides blaptoides, 22 and 21 types of sensilla were found, respectively. External morphology and distribution patterns of sensilla were also described. The phylogenetic relationships among the species were discussed based on their distribution patterns.

독특한 경관특성과 높은 보존적 가치에도 불구하고, 사구와 관련된 곤충 다양성 연구는 매우 부족한 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 태안해안국립공원에서 주로 관찰되는 사구와 방풍림(해송)에서 서식하는 지표성 딱정벌레류 군집 구조에 대한 비교 연구를 수행하였다. 2014년 6월 중순부터 10월 중순까지 함정트랩을 이용하여 방풍림 5개 지점과 사구 3개 지점을 조사하였다. 조사 결과, 총 2,335개체의 지표성 딱정벌레류를 채집하였으며, 이들은 15속 30종으로 동정되었다. 사구에서는 24종이 채집되었는데, 둥근칠납작먼지벌레(158개체)와 등빨간먼지벌레(153개체)가 우점하였다. 반면, 방품림에서는 14종이 채집되었고, 둥근칠납작먼지벌레(1,630개체), 윤납작먼지벌레(130개체) 및 붉은칠납작먼지벌레(42개체)가 우점하였다. 방풍림과 사구의 지표성 딱정벌레류 종 구성의 유사도는 27.4%로 낮았다. 본 연구 결과는 태안해안국립공원에서 발견되는 사구 지형이 방풍림과 비교해서 다른 곤충 군집을 보유하고 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 이는 향후 곤충 보전을 위한 중요한 정보가 될 것이다.
