With recent emphasis on the creation of environment-friendly new towns, introduction of ecological facilities for habitation and migration of wild animal's species is requested when developing new towns. In order to introduce such facilities, building an eco-network within the site based on the connectivity of the source area and habitats is essential in new town development. Therefore, this study mainly aimed at selecting species targeted for building an eco-network in Pangyo new town, which is intended to be an environment-friendly city. Therefore, criteria for selecting target species were generated. Then, species observed within the site through field surveys and literature review was evaluated based on the selection criteria and items. By totaling the score, a list of appropriate targeted species was finalized. Among species surveyed and observed in the site, appropriate target species that may be selected for Pangyo new town's eco-network include Falco tinnunculus interstinctus, Accipiter soloensis, Picus canus, Paradoxornis webbiana, Parus palustris, Parus ater, Parus major and Passer montanus Egretta in birds, Asiatic chipmunk, Nyctereutes procyonoides in mammals. For Pangyo new town, it is essential to create living environment and build a network for major wild animal species within the site based on target species. This will play a crucial role in building a reasonable ecological network enabling harmonious co-existence between mankind and nature. In order to build an ecological network successfully, follow-up studies need to be conducted on restoration technology and methods required for creating habitats appropriate to target species.

백두대간 능선부의 식생구조를 파악하고자, 백두대간 수령-소사고개구간 능선부에 10개의 방형구(500$m^2$)를 설정하여 식생을 조사하였다. 식물군집을 분류한 결과 10개 조사구는 떡갈나무-물푸레나무군집, 신갈나무-물푸레나무군집, 신갈나무군집의 3개 군집으로 분류되었다. 백두대간 수령-소사고개 구간의 능선부는 대부분 신갈나무가 우점하고 있었으며, 일부에서 해발고가 낮은 지역에서 떡갈나무와 물푸레나무 등이 혼효하고 있었다. 조사지의 군집별 종다양성지수는 1.7295∼2.6525 범위로 백두대간에 위치한 국립공원들의 능선부 식생구조와 비슷하였다. 산림청에서 희귀식물로 등록한 흰참꽃나무가 삼봉산 주변 바위틀에서 여러 개체가 자라고 있었으며, 지속적인 모니터링을 함으로써 훼손대책을 강구할 필요가 있다.

The Master Plan of Natural Environment Conservation in Korea by Ministry of Environment has been carried out since 1986. The 2nd 10-year survey started in 1997, and there are three major parts in the Master Plan : First, the basic natural environment survey, second, sites in special features of ecological characteristics such as uninhabitable islands, wetlands, etc, and third, biological species featuring status of habitat, and population dynamics. However the information in the Master Plan is very fragmented and collected data are not so abundant due to insufficient man-power and unsynchronized survey time/season. In this regard this paper examined the similar National Biological Survey in USA and compared the differences with the Master Plan in Korea. The Master Plan in Korea should separate the management zone based on hydrological characteristics, and in each zone we should set a management goal in the long term basis. Secondly the species list is not so meaningful that we must concentrate more on research activities. In each taxonomical group we set up hypotheses and research goals. Thirdly local residents and communities should be involved in research so that enhanced biological diversity should benefit people in areas. Lastly legislation and laws should be reexamined and rectified to provide information to the managers that deals with natural resources, expecially when conflicting with economic matters.

1989년부터 1993년 12월까지 우리나라의 전 연안에서 채집된 가자미아목 Pleuronectoidei 어류표본에 대하여 분류학적으로 재검토하였다. 한국산 가자미아목의 어류를 풀넙치과 Citharidae, 넙치과 Paralichthyidae, 둥글넙치과 Bothidae 및 가자미과 Pleuronectidae의 4과로 구분하고 여기에 26속 34종으로 분류하여 검색표를 제시하였다. 본 조사기간 채집된 가자미아목 어류 20속 26종의 표본은 재기재하였고, 미세분포지를 기록하였으며, 동종이명에 대하여 검토정리하였다. 본 조사에서 넙치과 Paralichthyidae의 왜넙치 Tarphops oligolepis (Bleeker), 둥글넙치과 Bothidae의 긴가자미 Parabothus kiensis (Tanaka)와 가자미과 Pleuronectidae의 뿔가자미 Pleuronectes pallasii Steindachner의 3종은 한국 미기록종이다. 대부분의 넙치과와 둥글넙치과 어류는 서, 남해안에 주로 분포하였고 문치가자미 Limanda yokohamae, 물가자미 Eopsetta grigorjewi와 도다리 Pleuronichthys cornutus를 제외한 가자미과 어류는 대부분 동해안에서 출현하였다. 가자미아목 어류의 대부분은 중국과 일본에 서식하는 어류와 공통적으로 분포하고 있으나 한국 고유종은 없었다.

한국산(韓國産) 참복아목(亞目) 어류(魚類)를 4과(科) 10속(屬) 24종(種)으로 분류(分類)하여 과(科), 속(屬) 및 종(種) 검색표(檢索表)를 작성(作成)하고, 1986년부터 1990년 까지 채집한 17종에 대하여 계수(計數), 계측형질(計測形質), 외부형태(外部形態), 체색(體色) 그리고 채집지성(採集地成) 등을 기록하였다. 이중 Lagocephalus gloveri Abe et Tabeta 1983, 와 L. whheeleri Abe, Tabeta et Kitahama 1984, 를 한국 미기록종으로 기재(記載)하면서, 국명(國名)을 "흑밀복"과 "은빌복"으로 각각 명명한다. Takifugu chinensis(Abe)는 1949년 Abe가 부산표본을 paratype으로 사용하여 기채 보고 하였으나, 최근의 한국산 목록에 포함되어 있지 않아 본 연구에서 이 종을 추가하고, 한국명으로 "참복"으로 제안한다. 우리나라에 분포하는 참복아목(亞目)에 해당하는 종의 대부분은 일본(日本)과 중국(中國)에도 분포하고 있지만, 그 가운데 황복 T. obscurus, 황점복 T. flavidus와 바실복 T. basileusskianus 3종은 한국의 황해(黃海)와 중국의 해역(海域)에만 출현하고 있어 주목되었다.

The Gold-spotted pond frog, Rana plancyi chosenica, designated as a vulnerable species by IUCN Red list. This species is a typical example facing local population threats and extinction due to human activities in South Korea. A strategic conservation plan for this endangered species is urgently needed. In order to provide information for future conservation planning, accurate information on the genetic diversity and taxonomic status is needed for the establishment of conservation units for this species. In this study, we used a molecular genetic approach using the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and control region sequences to find the genetic diversity of gold-spotted pond frogs within South Korea. We sequenced the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b gene and control region of 77 individuals from 11 populations in South Korea, and one from Chongqing, China. A total of 15 cytochrome b gene haplotypes and 34 control region haplotypes were identified from Korean gold-spotted pond frogs. Mean sequence diversity among Korean gold-spotted pond frogs was 0.31% (0.0-0.8%) and 0.51% (0.0-1.0%), respectively. Most Korean populations had at least one unique haplotype for each locus. The Taean, Ansan and Cheongwon populations had no haplotypes shared with other populations. There was a sequence divergence between Korean and Chinese gold-spotted pond frogs (1.3% for cyt b; 2.9% for control region). Analysis of genetic distances and phylogenetic trees based on both cytochrome b and control region sequences indicate that the Korean gold-spotted pond frog are genetically differentiated from those in China.

This study aims to establish a comprehensive, synthetic inventory system for the fauna and flora of Dokdo Island, Republic of Korea, which has been conducted by a specialized research group consisting of more than 50 experts. The research was conducted over five years(2015-2019) and supported by the National Institute of Biological Resources, Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea. All possible publications on the fauna and flora of Dokdo Island over the last 68 years from 1952 to 2020 were reviewed. As a result, 1,302 species were found on Dokdo Island during the study period. An updated list of 1,963 species was created. This is expected to be of great help for the conservation and national publicity of important indigenous biological resources of Dokdo Island.

Background: In 2020, a categorized list of wetland preferences, major habitats, and life forms of 4145 vascular plant taxa occurring in the Korean Peninsula was published by the National Institute of Biological Resources. We analyzed the list and explored the distribution patterns of the five categorized groups according to wetland preference, along with the information on the major habitats and the life forms of the plants belonging to those categories. Results: Out of 4145 taxa, we found that 729 wetland plant taxa (18%) occur in Korea: 401 obligate wetland plants and 328 facultative wetland plants. Among the 729 wetland taxa, the majority (73%) was hygrophytes and the remaining 27% was aquatic macrophytes. Furthermore, almost all of the wetland taxa are herbs; so, woody plants are only 4.7%. The 16 carnivorous taxa distributed in Korea were characterized as obligate wetland plants. Conclusions: We expect the categorized information would promote understanding of the characteristics of the plant species and would be an important source for understanding, conservation, and restoration of wetland ecosystems.
