The cestode Taenia hydatigena uses canids, primarily dogs, as definitive hosts, while the metacestode larval stage cysticercus infects a range of intermediate hosts, including domestic animals such as goats, sheep, and pigs. Cysticercosis due to T. hydatigena has large veterinary and economic drawbacks. Like other taeniids, e.g., Echinococcus, intraspecific variation is found among the members of the genus Taenia. In Africa, few studies are available on the epidemiology and distribution of T. hydatigena, and even fewer studies are available on its genetic variation. In this study, we molecularly identified 11 cysticerci from sheep in Sudan and demonstrated the genetic variation based on the NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 (nad1) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) mitochondrial genes. The isolates were correctly identified as T. hydatigena with more than 99% similarity to those in the GenBank database. Low diversity indices and insignificant neutrality indices were observed, with 3 and 2 haplotypes for the nad1 and cox1 genes, respectively. The results suggest the presence of unique T. hydatigena haplotypes in Sudan, as haplotypes with 100% similarity were not found in the GenBank database. With few available studies on the genetic variation of T. hydatigena in Africa, this report represents the first insights into the genetic variation of T. hydatigena in Sudan and constitutes useful data.

We chose the Mt. Dalum area (located in Gijang-gun, Busan, Korea) for our survey, particularly The pine wilt disease zone and the non-permanent control area. This study investigates the effect of pine wilt disease on the distribution of beetle species in the process of ecosystem change due to insect control; pine forests treated for pine wilt disease were divided into insect control and non-control sites, respectively. The results of this study are as follows. Twen tyseven species belongs to 12 families were identified from 969 ground beetles collected from this sites. Species richness was the highest in Coleoptera (6 species, 469 individuals). In the control site, 21 species belongs to 10 families were identified from 228 individuals, while 24 species of 11 families from 533 individuals in the non-control area. The highest number of species were noted in June and July from the non- control and control sites, respectively. The highest number of insects in control and non-control sites was observed in July, while the lowest in September. Sipalinus gigas gigas, Spondylis buprestoides, Plesiophthalmus davidis, Calosoma maximowiczi, Damaster jankowskii jankowskii, and Damaster smaragdinus were captured in both study sites. Episomustur ntus and Glischrochilus ipsoides were only captured in the control site, while Macrodorcas rectus rectus and Pheropsophus javanus were only captured in the non-control site. Six beetles and five species (such as Calosoma maximowiczi) were found in the control site and six species (including Damaster smaragdinus) in the non-control site. The species distributions by altitude were 163, 518, and 258 individuals, at 100, 200 and 300 m sites, respectively. The diversity, evenness, and dominance indices in the control area were 0.764, 0.812, and 0.367, respectively. The diversity, evenness, and dominance indices in the non-control area were 0.927, 0.837, and 0.352, respectively. The similarity index between the control and non-control area was 80%.

1982년 4월에 발생한 산불에 의해 소나무림과 그 임상식생이 파괴된 섭제골의 산화지와 이에 인접한 비산화지에서 식생구조와 토양성분을 비교하므로써 산화지의 초기식생과 이차천이 과정을 분석하였다. 조사지에 출현되는 종수는 B1, B2지소에서 각각 25, 23종류, U1, U2지소에서 각각 32, 27종류로서 산화지에서 비산지보다 비교적 적게 나타났다. 조사지의 생활형 조성은 산화지와 비산화지 공히 H-D1-R5-e형으로 나타났다. 우점종 순위는 산화지에서 새(90.36) -억새(84.26), -산거울(71.87)순이었고, 비산화지에서는 소나무(76.80) -산거울(62.32) -털진달래(55.79)순이었다. 천이도는 산화지가 662~719로 비산화지의 684~859보다 비교적 낮게 나타났다. 종다양성지수는 산화지에서 2.1985~2.3506로 비산화지의 2.4094~2.4562보다 약간 낮은 값을 나타냈고, 또한 균등성지수는 역시 산화지에서 0.6830~0.7497로 비산화지의 0.7087~0.7301보다 약간 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 이것은 산화 이후 경과시간의 불충분에 의한 현상으로 종이 비교적 균등하게 분포하고 있음을 보였다. 조사지간의 유사도지수는 B1-B2>U1-U2>B2-U1>B1-U1>B1-U2>B2-U2순으로 나타났다. 토양내의 pH, 총질소함량, 유효인산, 치환성 칼륨은 산화지가 비산화비보다 낮게 나타났는데, 이것은 산불에 의한 열과 회분의 첨가에 기인된 것으로 생각된다.

단일 조사구에 의한 삼림군집구조 조사시 교목층의 적정 조사구면적을 결정하기 위하여 신갈나무, 졸참나무, 소나무, 굴참나무 등이 혼효하고 있는 덕유산지역 혼효림군집의 교목층을 대상으로 nested design에 의하여 19개의 조사구를 설치한 후 종수-면적 곡선, performance curve등을 적용하였다. 종수-면적 곡선에 있어서 조사구면적의 증가율보다 출현종수의 증가율이 낮은 최소 조사구 면적은 500$m^2$이었으며, 조사구 면적의 증가율에 비하여 출현종수의 증가율이 1/2이하인 최소 조사구 면적은 1,000$m^2$이었다. Performance curve를 작성한 결과 조사구 면적 900$m^2$ 이상에서 주요 수종의 중요치가 일정한 경향으로 구분되었으며, 조사구 면적 500$m^2$에 인접한 소나무 대 경목을 제외할 경우 조사구 면적 500$m^2$ 이상에서 일정한 경향으로 구분될 것으로 추정되었다. 종다양도는 조사구 면적 400$m^2$ 이상에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 전체 조사구 면적에 대한 유사도지수는 조사구 면적 900$m^2$, 400$m^2$ 이상에서 각각 90, 85% 이상의 값을 보였다. 이상의 결과와 본 조사지의 경우 혼효율이 비교적 높은 삼림군집임을 고려할 때 삼림군집구조 조사를 위한 단일 조사구의 면적은 일반적인 경우 500$m^2$, 보다 정확성을 요구할 경우 대체로 1,000$m^2$가 적정 최소 면적이라고 할 수 있었다.

We investigated the habitat distribution and diversity of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae), a bioindicator for assessing environmental changes on Geumo Mountain, in survey plots at different altitudes on the southern and northern slopes of Geumo Mountain in South Korea. From April to September 2021, we collected 1,384 individuals, 41 species, and 15 families of Carabidae from the survey sites. The dominant species collected was Synuchus cycloderus (347 individuals), followed by Carabus jankowskii (193 individuals). The monthly distributions of species richness and abundance were as follows: 24 beetles of 9 species in April, 115 beetles of 28 species in May, 288 beetles of 32 species in June, peaking at 379 beetles of 32 species in July, 354 beetles of 23 species in August, and 224 beetles of 14 species in September. Additionally, we collected 305 beetles of 32 species at 400 m, 326 beetles of 31 species at 500 m, 359 beetles of 27 species at 600 m, 582 beetles of 16 species at 700 m, and 112 beetles of 7 species at 800 m near the summit. The habitat distribution by slope was 307 beetles (20 species of 8 families) on the southern slope and 1,077 beetles (34 species of 15 families) on the northern slope. For the 307 beetles of 20 species collected from the southern slope, the diversity, evenness, and dominance indices were 0.981, 0.754, and 0.156, respectively. For the 1,077 beetles of 34 species collected from the northern slope, the diversity evenness, and dominance indices were 1.187, 0.775, and 0.101, respectively.

The species composition and distribution of catches by dredge gear in the Yeongil Bay, Korea were investigated on a seasonal basis from February to November, 2015. Total catches consisted of 44 species and 35 families. They were 13 species of fish, 10 species of crustacea, 5 species of echinodermata, 5 species of gastropoda, 4 species of cephalopoda and 3 species of bivalvia. Major catch species was shellfish and had seasonal variations in catch. In spring and winter, the catch of ark shell (Scapharca broughtonii) was increased. Adversely, the catch of admas venus clam (Callithaca adamsi) increased in sunmmer and autumn. Species diversity indices was high as the value of 1.99 in spring, and low to the value of 0.34 in summer. In addition, multi dimentional scaling (MDS) indices also was high in spring as the value of 1.99. In summer, the index was low as the value of 0.34. Similarity analysis based on species data was transformed by fourth root. With the result of cluster analysis and MDS analysis, species was divided into two groups. The first group as Group A consists of winter and spring species and another was Group B made of species in summer and winter.

This study was carried out to investigate the developmental process of plant community during the secondary succession and changes of soil properties in the burned areas lapsed 28 years after the forest fire in Mt.Palgong. The forest fire occurred on March, 1969 and the red pine (pinus densiflora) forest and its floor vegetation were burned down. The results are summarized as follows: the floristic composition of burned and unburned areas were composed of 49 and 48 species of vascular plants, respectively. The dominant species based on SDR4 of the burned sites were Lespedeza maximowicxii(87.75), Carex humilis (62.94), Rhododendron schippenbachii(55.78) and Miscanthus sinensis var.purpurascens (51.94). In contrast, Pinus densiflora (81.17), Quercus serrata (53.58)m Carex humilis (53.11) and Miscanthus sinenis var. purpuracens (52.42) were dominant in the unburned area. The biological spectra showed the $H-D_1-R_5-e$ type in both areas. The indices of similarity (CCs) between the two areas were 0.80. Degree of succession (DS) was 734 in the burned area and 809 in the unburned area. The species diversity (H) and evenness indices (e) in the burned and unburned areas were 2.05, 2.13 and 0.53, 0.55, respectively. Dominance index (C) in the burned and unburned areas were 0.30 and 0.32, respectively. Soil properties such as soil pH, content of organic matter, total nitrogen, total carbon, exchangeable potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium in burned area were comparatively higher than those of unburned area. Monthly changes of soil properties were of little significance except for some cases. These results suggest that there was relationship between trend of vegetation recovery and the changes of soil properties after the forest fire. Mixed forestation of fire-resistant species and nitrogen fixation species will be effective for reforestation after the forest fire.
