우리나라의 생물상 52,628종의 35.4%를 차지하는 곤충 18,638종의 국명 유형을 크게 11개(색깔, 크기, 모양, 식물, 위치, 생태, 외국어, 사람이름, 고유, 생리, 긍정·부정)범주로 구분하고, 그 뜻은 무엇인지를 조사하였다. 그 중 인종차별, 장애 및 생김새의 차별, 지역 차별 등의 혐오표현이 사용된 유형 506개에 대해 심층적으로 분석하여, 해당 표현의 본 뜻과 함께 향후 사용할 만한 대체 용어를 제시하였다. 더불어 일본어 표현(일본어, 일본인 이름, 일본 지명 등)이 사용된 유형 508개에 대해 분석하여, 세부 유형을 밝히고 해당 생물종의 국명의 사용이 적절하지 않다고 판단되는 경우에 대체 용어를 제시하였다.

In order to estimate accurate quality of crude drugs in which pest was found during the storage, damaged 15 items were collected on current markets. We identified insect name by investigation of insect morphology, bug cluster, and morphology of damaged crude drugs. Three kind of pests were identified in the above 15 items as follows: A: Pyralis sp. (Pyralidae) was observed in damaged Platycodi Radix. B: Anthreus verbasci (Anobiidae) was found out in damaged Angelicae gigantis Radix, and Dioscoreae Rhizoma. C: Stegobium pamceum (Anobiidae) was discovered in the 12 crude drugs as follows: Puerariae Radix, Angelicae koreanae Radix, Angehcae tenuissimae Radix, Codonopsis Radix, Ledebouriellae Radix, Ginseng Radix alba, Angelicae dahuricae Radix, Belamcandae Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix, Cnidii Rhizoma, Alismatis Rhizoma, and Fritillariae Bulbus.

Despite the remarkable advancements of the modern medicine, the traditional system of medicine (TSM) still serves as a potential primary health care modality in the in low- and middle-income countries. The recent reports suggest that there is a renewed interest has been observed towards TSM in the developed countries too, because of the adverse side-effect of modern medicines. Medicinal plants have been widely serving as a rich source of therapeutic agent. Ethiopia is one of the most reserves rich countries in the world. It is renowned for well-diversified and natural resources in terms of its unique flora and fauna. Ethiopian deep-rooted tradition and culture largely depends on the usage of plants for their religious ceremonies, impressive festivals, traditional medicinal uses and other basic necessities. The present scrutiny is an attempt to understand the omnipotent nature of an Ethiopian Ethnomedicinal plant called Tinjute [vernacular name (local native language, Amharic); Otostegia integrifolia]. There are several studies suggest that Tinjute can be used as a natural medicine or health-promoting agents for various disorders and ailments. Nevertheless, in Ethiopia, it is renowned as an insect repellent to drive-away insect vector of diseases, particularly mosquitoes in the early evening. However, there are many more issues and challenges which must be urgently addressed to scientifically formulate various potent, efficacious, safe and highly selective phytotherapeutic agents and insects' repellent from the Tinjute plant in the near future.

In this paper, we present unrecorded protozoans of Korea that were discovered, through the 'Discovery of Korean Indigenous Species' project hosted by the 'National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR)'. A taxonomic account is provided for each identified species, offering comprehensive information such as species name, Korean name, collection site, synonyms, specimen vouchers, diagnoses, and figures. This study introduces 13 previously unrecorded Korean protozoan species that are classified into three phyla: Amoebozoa, Cercozoa, and Ciliophora. Notably, the cercozoan family Chlamydophryidae was recorded in Korea for the first time, together with the discovery of three previously unreported genera: Diaphoropodon within Cercozoa, and Metauroleptus and Hemicycliostyla within Ciliophora.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was first described by Berliner [10] when he isolated a Bacillus species from the Mediterranean flour moth, Anagasta kuehniella, and named it after the province Thuringia in Germany where the infected moth was found. Although this was the first description under the name B. thuringiensis, it was not the first isolation. In 1901, a Japanese biologist, Ishiwata Shigetane, discovered a previously undescribed bacterium as the causative agent of a disease afflicting silkworms. Bt was originally considered a risk for silkworm rearing but it has become the heart of microbial insect control. The earliest commercial production began in France in 1938, under the name Sporeine [72]. A resurgence of interest in Bt has been attributed to Edward Steinhaus [105], who obtained a culture in 1942 and attracted attention to the potential of Bt through his subsequent studies. In 1956, T. Angus [3] demonstrated that the crystalline protein inclusions formed in the course of sporulation were responsible for the insecticidal action of Bt. By the early 1980's, Gonzalez et al. [48] revealed that the genes coding for crystal proteins were localized on transmissible plasmids, using a plasmid curing technique, and Schnepf and Whiteley [103] first cloned and characterized the genes coding for crystal proteins that had toxicity to larvae of the tobacco hornworm, from plasmid DNA of Bt subsp. kurstaki HD-1. This first cloning was followed quickly by the cloning of many other cry genes and eventually led to the development of Bt transgenic plants. In the 1980s, several scientists successively demonstrated that plants can be genetically engineered, and finally, Bt cotton reached the market in 1996 [104].

To exploit insect-derived fungi, insects were collected from seven different regions in Korea, including Gyeongbuk, Goryeong, and several fungi were isolated from them. A fungal strain designated 21-64-D was isolated from riparian tiger beetle (Cicindela transbaicalica) and morphologically identified as a species belonging to the genus Oidiodendron. Phylogenetic analysis using the nucleotide sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and the partial sequence of the large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal RNA (LSU) gene revealed the distinct phylogenetic position of the isolate among recognized Oidiodendron species including its closest neighbors O. chlamydosporicum, O. citrinum, O. maius, and O. pilicola. The hyphal and conidial morphology of the strain, particularly club-shaped hyphae, clearly differentiated it from its close relatives. Results indicated that 21-64-D is a novel species in the genus Oidiodendron, for which the name Oidiodendron clavatum sp. nov. is proposed.

The purpose of this study is concerned with identification of floral type of commercially available honeys and pollen loads. Ikuse's technique was applied to identify the pollen species of honey and pollen loads. Among six kinds of commercially available honeys in Taegu, Korea i.e. Robinia Honey, Brassica Honey, Castanea Honey, Rhododendron Honey, Lespedeza Honey and Multipant Honey, all honeys contained pollens, which were coincident with their trade names given by the apirists, except Lespedeza Honey. The trade name of imported honeys were not given by the plant, from which pollen material and nectar were collected. Among four kinds of these products, pollen was not identified in Clover Honey. A spectrum of honey products added by pollen loads was, of course, wider than simple honey products. The pollen load showed spectrum of pollens including not only those which are specialized for wind pollination, eq. Pinus species and Gramineae, but also contained for insect pollination, eq. rose and leguminous plants.

2011년부터 수입되어 사육 유통되는 슈퍼밀웜의 국내 샘플들은 형태 분류학적 검토를 통하여 Zophobas atratus란 종으로 밝혀졌고, Z. morio란 학명은 이 종의 동물이 명임이 확인되었다. 이 외래종은 자원 관리측면에서 국명을 '아메리카왕거저리'로 신칭하였다. 이 종과 형태적으로 유사한 자생종 P. valgipes 및 사육종 T. molitor와 DNA 바코드 분석 결과, Zophobas atratus와 P. valgipes는 평균 21.4%, Zophobas atratus와 Z. morio는 20.9%의 염기분화율을 보여 DNA 바코드로 쉽게 종 동정할 수 있음을 확인하였다. Z. atratus의 국내집단은 모두 동일 일배체형을 갖고 있어 국외의 동일 지역 개체군이 국내로 유입된 것으로 추정된 반면에 Z. molitor는 동일 사육집단 내에서도 두 개의 종내 집단이 뚜렷이 구분되고 서로의 염기 분화율이 1.17 ~ 2.19%로 갭을 형성한 것으로 보아 국내 Z. molitor 사육개체들은 서로 다른 지역 집단이 혼입되어 대량 사육에 이용되어진 것으로 추정된다. 이번 연구를 통하여 분석된 상업적으로 도입, 이용되는 2종의 거저리류의 분류학적 기초 정보가 국내 곤충자원 관리를 위하여 유용하게 이용될 것으로 판단된다.
