Pitfall traps that use ethylene glycol as a preservative solution are commonly used in arthropod research. However, a recent surge in cases involving damage to these traps by roe deer or wild boars owing to the sweet taste of ethylene glycol has prompted the addition of quinone sulfate, a substance with a pungent taste, to deter such wildlife interference. This study aimed to assess the effects of quinone sulfate on arthropods collected from pitfall traps containing ethylene glycol. We strategically positioned 50 traps using ethylene glycol alone and 50 traps containing a small amount of quinone sulfate mixed with ethylene glycol in a grid pattern for systematic sampling at the Gwangneung Forest long-term ecological research (LTER) site. Traps were collected 10 days later. The results revealed a notable effect on ants when quinone sulfate was introduced. Specifically, it decreased the number of ants. In a species-specific analysis of ants, only Nylanderia flavipes showed a significant decline in response to quinone sulfate, whereas other ant species remained unaffected. Additionally, among the arthropod samples obtained in this survey, we identified species or morpho-species of spiders, beetles, and ants and assessed species diversity. Consequently, the utilization of quinone sulfate should be undertaken judiciously, taking into account the specific species composition and environmental characteristics of the monitoring site. Our study also highlighted the significant response of various arthropod groups to variations in leaf litter depth, underscoring the crucial role of the leaf litter layer in providing sustenance and shelter for ground-foraging arthropods. Furthermore, we have compiled comprehensive species lists of both spiders and ants in Gwangneung forest by amalgamating data from this investigation with findings from previous studies.

거미는 진동감각기관을 통하여 미세한 진동까지도 감지해낸다. 뛰어난 진동 감지 능력을 활용해 먹이나 포식자가 발생시키는 진동을 감지하여 공격을 계획하거나 위협을 파악하며 생존에 활용한다. 본 논문은 거미의 진동감각기관을 모사하여 개발된 초민감 진동압력센서에 대해 기술한다. 거미가 진동을 감지하는데 사용하는 감각기관에 위치한 작은 틈에 착안하여 센서에 균열을 생성하였고, 균열의 깊이를 제어하여 외부로부터 오는 압력이나 진동을 매우 민감하게 감지할 수 있는 센서를 개발하였다. 이 센서는 10 N의 인장응력을 적용하여 2%의 변형률에서 게이지 계수가 16000에 도달한다. 이는 높은 신호대잡음비를 가져 정확하게 원하는 진동을 인식할 수 있는 소자로서 외력(압력, 진동)과 생체 신호측정 등 다양한 평가를 통해 센서의 높은 민감도를 증명하였다. 이를 통하여 생체모사 기술을 활용한 새로운 센서의 개발 및 다양한 산업 분야로의 응용 가능성을 제시한다.

We report for the first time the life history of a 'social' spider, Philoponella prominens, living in a temperate region. Philoponella prominens hibernated as immatures or subadults for 7-8 months in 1995 and 1996 from September-October to April-May in central Korea. When they emerged from their winter hibernation, a majority began their lives as commensals in the webs of other species. As the mating season approached, however, commensal spiders switched to become colonial or solitary. The mating season began in early June and lasted until early August. Newly-hatched spiderlings began to appear in the field in late June. They formed a colony by building their webs connected to the mother's by using pan of the mother's web as supporting substrates. As the season progressed, however, some of the colonial spiderlings became commensal or solitary individuals. Our field observations suggest that Philoponella prominens form colonies or commensal associations to reduce the web-building cost.

Ten new species of the genus Falcileptoneta are described; Falcileptoneta bifurca n. sp., F. boeunensis n. sp., F. chiakensis n. sp., F. cornuta n. sp., F. digitalis n. sp., F. hansanensis n. sp., F. juwangensis n. sp., F. moakensis n. sp., F. naejangenesis n. sp., and F. unmunensis n. sp. And six species previously known as Leptoneta spiders are transferred to Falcileptoneta as fo11ows; Falcileptoneta coreana (Paik and Namkung, 1969), F. hwanseonensis (Namkung, 1987), F. secula (Namkung, 1987), F. simboggulensis (Paik, 1971), F. yebongsanensis (Kim, Lee and Namkung, 2004), and F. yongdamgulensis (Paik and Namkung, 1969), all n. comb.

Spider fauna of Mt. Yongmunsan located in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, was surveyed from April to October in 1996. A total of 75 species of 51 genera in 22 families from 996 individuals of spiders were identified. Species richness of each family, there were 17 Araneid species (22.7%), followed by each of the 7 Thomisid and Tetragnathid species (9.3%), 6 Salticid species (8.0%), and 5 Lycosid species (6.7%). Zoogeographically, spider fauna of Mt. Yongmunsan represented 1 cosmopolitan species (1.3%), 2 holarctic region species (2.6%), and 9 palearctic region species (12.0%), and 4 Korean endemic species (4.0%). Thus it is suggested that spider fauna of Mt. Yongmunsan was under northern regional influence.

Cooperative or non-territorial permanently social spiders are believed to have evolved from species showing subsocial maternal care. The transition from subsocial to cooperative social groups probably involved a transition from an outbreeding breeding system to one with inbreeding. Nepotistic recognition among siblings should facilitate the evolution of social cooperation through avoidance of inbreeding and maintenance of mutual tolerance between siblings. We conducted experiments to determine whether a mechanism for sibling recognition is present in the subsocial spider, Coelotes terrestris which displays extended maternal care in the form of food provisioning. The numbers of surviving individuals within unfed groups were observed and compared between non-sibling groups of ten spiderlings and groups of ten siblings. The number of survivors differed significantly between groups, with consistently fewer spiderlings surviving in the non-sibling groups than the sibling groups over the study period. This result suggests that sibling recognition and nepotism do occur in this subsocial species. The nepotism involved in the maternal social organization of the Coelotes might be an example of a preadaptation facilitating the evolution of permanent social life.

The dynamic nature of the World Wide Web challenges Search engines to find relevant and recent pages. Obtaining important pages rapidly can be very useful when a crawler cannot visit the entire Web in a reasonable amount of time. In this paper we study way spiders that should visit the URLs in order to obtain more “important” pages first. We define and apply several metrics, ranking formula for improving crawling results. The comparison between our result and Breadth-first Search (BFS) method shows the efficiency of our experiment system.

Two species of the genus Xysticus from Korea are revised with detailed illustrations, spination of each leg, trichobothrium patterns and SEM photographs. The female of X. concretus Utochkin, 1968 is described for the first time and Xysticus lepnevae Utochkin, 1968 from Korea represent the species' southernmost known records. The latter species is distinguished by its male palpal organs with hooked median apophysis, developed ventral tibial apophysis and expanded retrolateral tibial apopysis, two tegular sutures and by it epigynum with triangular atrium and large copulatory ducts circled, with broadly transparent membrane. Furthermore, the Xysticus spiders, previously misidentified in Korea as male of X. dichotomus Paik, 1973 and female of X. bifurcus Paik, 1973 are in fact the true X. concretus.
