사슴벌레과의 문헌기록과 표본을 분류학적으로 검토하였다. 이들은 Heyden(1887) 이후 90여편의 문헌에서(외국에서의 단순한 분포기록 문헌 제외) 25종이 기록되었다. 그 중 7종은 동조이명이었고, 다음과 같은 6종은 오동정된 것이므로 한국산 목록에서 제외된다: Prismognathus angularis, Nipponodorcus montivagus, Aegus laevicollis, Platycerus delicatulus, P. acuticollis, Gnaphaloryx velutinus. 오동정된 종명중 처음의 2기종은 국내기록 자체가 잘못된 것이며, 세번째의 A. laevicollis는 이에 해당하는 표본이 새로 발견되어 다시 한국산 목록에 추가 된다. 한편 Dorcus taiwanicus도 새로 발견되어 한국산 추가종은 셀제적으로 2종이다. 결과적으로 현재까지 한국산으로 밝혀진 사슴벌레과 곤충은 10속 14종이 된다.

Eleven polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed and characterized for Dorcus hopei in this study. The number of alleles varied from 2 to 21. The observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.1058 to 0.9744 and 0.0997 to 0.8941, respectively. Two loci showed low polymorphism, while the rest were highly polymorphic. Six loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. The set of markers will provide effective tools for examining the population genetic structures and be helpful for managing wild population in D. hopei.

Psalidoremus is one of the subgenus which consists of five species and eleven subspecies through Taiwan, Japan, Korea and north eastern part of China which present strong endemism to their distribution. While most of advance studies focus on the new species or subspecies from this taxon, this paper suggests paleogeographical assumption and hypothesis of how they diverged from common ancestors. Phylogeographical patterns illustrated by the distribution of five species, which including Prosopocoilus inclinatus, Prosopocoilus hachijoensis, Prosopocoilus dissimilis, Prospocoilus pseudodissimilis, Prosopocoilus motschulskii respectively, has been assessed in this research. Speciation history is suggested by morphological tendencies especially in male mandibles with assumption from geographical patterns of under sea level.

The popularity of keeping stag beetles (Dorcus titanus castanicolor Motschulsky 1861, Coleoptera: Lucanidae) as pets has increased. Consistent with the rise in the number of insect farms using these beetles, the number of contaminated or diseased D. titanus castanicolor has also increased. This investigation was conducted to analyze the cause of D. titanus castanicolor disease. The contaminated larvae of D. titanus castanicolor showed Allomyrina nudivirus infection symptoms similar to those of Allomyrina nudivirus infection. However, the disease carried by of D. titanus castanicolor is not derived from the virus infecting Allomyrina, as determined by PCR. Our study revealed that the major gut microbes of infectious D. titanus castanicolor belonged to the phylum Proteobacteria, and specifically, Pseudomonas knackmussi (Symptom 1 - 39.62% to Symptom 2 - 41.50% to Symptom 3 - 76.76% as the disease progressed severely) and Citrobacter koseri (Symptom 1 - 1.48% to Symptom 2 - 6.04% to Symptom 3 - 6.16% as the disease progressed severely) were detected. Additionally, a high proportion of larvae from the uninfected group were found to harbor bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes (72%). However, as the disease progressed severely in these beetles, the proportion of Firmicutes decreased (Symptom 1 - 72.03% to Symptom 2 - 44.7% to Symptom 3 - 26.3%). These findings imply that colonization by Firmicutes was inversely proportional to Proteobacteria colonization in the gut. This was found to be true for both the normal and disease conditions of D. titanus castanicolor. In this study, we examined the distribution of intestinal microbial communities in normal and contaminated larvae. We observed a correlation between these contaminated microbes and the overall health of the beetle, and our findings suggest that there may be a link between disease progression and the gut microbiome.

본 연구는 멸종위기종 두점박이사슴벌레의 인공 증식을 위한 산란 특성을 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 우화 후 3개월이 지난 두점박이사슴벌레 성충은 암수 비율이 1: 1 일 때 3주 이상의 교미 기간이 필요하다. 실험 처리온도 16, 20, 24, 28, 및 32℃ 중에서 산란전기간은 16℃에서 우화 후 109일로 가장 길었으며, 32℃에서 우화 후 평균 59.4일로 가장 짧았다. 산란수는 24℃에서 암컷 한마리당 평균 40.6개로 가장 많았다. 성충의 평균 수명은 16℃에서 수컷 208.8일, 암컷 263.9일로 가장 길었으며, 32℃에서 수컷 96.1일, 암컷 130.3일로 가장 짧았다. 산란 용기 크기에 따른 두점박이사슴벌레의 산란수는 용기가 클수록 많았다. 사육 시 산란목 설치가 산란수와 산란기간에 크게 영향을 미치지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과는 멸종위기종 두점박이사슴벌레의 복원과 대량 증식을 위한 기초 자료로써 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
