무당벌레 (Harmonia axyridis)는 특이한 초시색상과 분양을 가지고 있으며, 종내에 변이가 심하다. 현재까지 무당벌레 개체군 안에서 이러한 변이의 주요원인은 내적인 요인과 물리적 환경적인 요인들이 작용하고 있다고 알려져 있다. 사실 이러한 변이들이 유전적 또는 환경적으로 일어나는지에 대한 확실한 증거는 찾을 수 없다. 그렇지만, 많은 종류의 색상 패턴들 가운데 유전적인 면이 담겨져 있는 것을 특정한 색상패턴의 개별적인 교배를 통하여 일부 확인하였다. 일부의 교배에서는 초시색상과 문양의 유전적 특정을 일부를 확인할 수 있었고, 변이의 유전적 분석에 도움을 줄 수 있는 결과를 얻은 것에 의미를 부여하고자 한다.

참나무시들음병의 매개충인 광릉긴나무좀, Platypus koryoensis(Murayama)은 한국에서 참나무시들음병원균인 Raffaelea sp.를 매개하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 참나무시들음 발병정도는 광릉긴나무좀의 밀도에 의존적인 것으로 추정되고 있다. 이에 (樹幹)내 천공수와 집중도가 참나무 피해정도에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 수락산 피해지에서 고사목 6그루와 피해목 28그루의 신갈나무의 피해정도, 단위면적당 천공수, 천공간 최근거리를 수간의 상부(지표로부터 50cm)와 하부(지표면)에서 조사하였다. 상부와 하부에서의 천공수는 양의 상관을 보였으며 천공간 최근거리 또한 같은 경향을 보였다. 천공수가 증가할수록 수목의 피해도가 심하였으나 수목의 피해도가 심할수록 천공간 최근거리는 감소하였다. 천공의 분포도 수목의 피해도가 증가할수록 집중분포에서 군일분포로 바뀌었다. 광릉긴나무좀이 초기에는 집중적으로 공격을 하나 수간내 밀도가 증가함에 따라 종내경쟁이 일어나고 경쟁의 결과 개체간 간섭현상이 유도되고 천공의 공간적 분포가 균일하게 변환하게 된다는 것을 암시하는 것이다.

국제연합식량농업기구(FAO)의 보고에 따르면, 미래의 식량문제 해결 방안으로 식용곤충을 지목하였다. 식용곤충은 단백질을 비롯한 무기질과 비타민 등의 함량이 풍부하여 영양학적 가치가 높은 것으로 평가된다. 따라서 국내 곤충산업의 확대를 위해서는 안정적인 대량사육 시스템의 개발과 안전한 식용곤충 전용 사료의 개발 등에 대한 연구가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 액상과 분말 클로렐라를 식용곤충종인 흰점박이꽃무지와 장수풍뎅이의 사료 첨가제로 이용하여 각 유충의 생육에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 두 곤충 모두에서 클로렐라 액상과 분말을 첨가했을 때 유충의 생존율이 대조구보다 높았다(흰점박이꽃무지; p>0.05, 장수풍뎅이; p<0.05). 클로렐라 분말을 첨가한 사료를 급여했을 때 흰점박이꽃무지와 장수풍뎅이 유충의 3령 기간이 각각 최대 24일(p<0.05)과 19일(p<0.05) 단축되어 곤충 사육농가의 노동력 절감 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 장수풍뎅이는 주로 학습애완용으로 판매되는 것에 비해 식용 소재로 활발히 활용되고 있는 흰점박이꽃무지 실험구에 대하여 영양 성분 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 클로렐라 액상 및 분말 첨가 처리구에서 수분, 조단백질, 조섬유 및 구리, 아연, 마그네슘과 같은 무기질의 함량이 높았고, 납과 카드뮴, 수은 및 비소 등 중금속은 모든 실험구에서 검출되지 않았다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 흰점박이꽃무지와 장수풍뎅이 사육 시 사료 첨가제로서 클로렐라가 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A $Mariannaea$ fungus was isolated during investigation of an elm tree infested with unidentified beetles. Based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis of the internal transcribed spacer rDNA sequence, the fungus was identified as $Mariannaea$ $elegans$ var. $elegans$. Fungal growth was better on malt extract agar than on potato dextrose agar and oatmeal agar. Optimal temperature and pH for growth of the fungus were $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. The fungus was found to have the ability to produce extracellular enzymes such as amylase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, cellulase, and protease. This is first report on $M.$ $elegans$ var. $elegans$ in Korea.

Nanoscale observation of attachment systems of animals has revealed various exquisite multiscale architectures for essential functions such as gecko's locomotion, beetles' wing fixation, octopuses' sucking and crawling. In particular, the hierarchical 3-dimensional hexanonal nano-architectures in the tree frog's adhesion is known to have the capability of the enhancement of adhesion forces on the wet or rough surfaces due to the conformal contacts against rough surfaces and water-drainable micro channels. Here, we report that tree frog-inspired patches using unique artificial 3-dimensional hexagonal structures can be exploited to form reversibly enhanced adhesion against various highly curved and rough surfaces in dry and wet condition. To investigate the adhesion effect of micro-channels, we changed the arrangement of microstructure and spacing gaps between micro-channels. In addition, we introduced the 3-dimensional hexagonal hierarchical architectures to artificial patches to enhance to conformal contacts on the various rough surfaces such as skin and organs. Using the robust adhesion properties, we demonstrated the self-drainable and comfortable skin-attachable devices which can measure EKG (electrokardiogramme) for in-vitro diagnostics. As a result, bio-inspired programmable nano-architectures can be applied in versatile devices such as, medical patches, skin-attachable electronics etc., which would shed light on future smart, directional and reversible adhesion systems.

Increased use of rhinoceros beetles (Allomyrina dichotoma ) for food and medicine, and their elevated value as pets has led to an increase in the number of their breeding farms. Mass breeding of the insects in these farms leads to entomological diseases. In this study, we investigate cannibalism resulting from overcrowded breeding of A. dichotoma larvae, as well as secondary fungal infections in epidermal wounds in the surviving larvae. Some of the fungi detected in the present study showed entomopathogenicity, and the larvae showed different times of death. In particular, larvae infected with Clonostachys sp., an endophytic plant fungus, grew for a long time after infection, but died without pupating.

The CALEB10 is a multi-legged biomimetic underwater robot. In the last research, we developed a swimming pattern named ESPG (Extended Swimming Pattern Generator) by observing diving beetle's swimming actions and experimented with a positive buoyancy state in which CALEB10 floats on the water. In this paper, however, we have experimented with CALEB10 in a neutral buoyancy state where it is completely immersed in water for pitch motion control experiment. And we found that CALEB10 was unstably swimming in the pitch direction in the neutral buoyancy state and analyzed that the reason was due to the weight proportion of the legs. In this paper, we propose a pitch motion control method to mimic the pitch motion of diving beetles and to solve the problem of CALEB10 unstably swimming in the pitch direction. To control the pitch motion, we use the method of controlling additional joints while swimming with the ESPG. The method of obtaining propulsive force by the motion of the leg has a problem of giving propulsive force in the reverse direction when swimming in the surge direction, but this new control method has an advantage that a propulsive moment generated by a swimming action only on a target pitch value. To demonstrate validity this new control method, we designed a dynamics-based simulator environment. And the control performance to the target pitch value was verified through simulation and underwater experiments.

The abundance of coarse woody debris (CWD) has been hypothesized to increase niche for forest dwelling insectivores, concentration of nutrients, and the diversity of invertebrates. However, no abjective assessment based on replication in the field has yet been done. this study was carried out to test the relationships between invertebrate availability and the abundance of four insectivores (Sorex trowbridgii, S. vagrans, S. monticolus and Neurotrichus gibbsii) in western Washington, USA. Pitfall traps were used to determine abundance and diversity of invertebrates. Abundance of insectivores was not different between habitats except for S. vagrans which was more abundant in habitats with low amounts of CWD than in habitats with high amounts of CWD. Simpson’s diversity index computed for invertebrates did not differ between habitats. There were no significant relationships between the diversity indices of invertebrates and the abundance of shrews. Shrew abundance and the Coleoperan beetles also did not show any significant relationship. The results suggested insectivores might select a wide range of prey items in addition to surface-active invertebrates.

Carabid beetle community changes in paddy fields, abandoned paddy fields, and mountains were investigated to understand differences in species diversity and composition of different habitat types in small agricultural landscapes in South Korea. A total of 2,938 individuals from 37 species were identified and classified from the studied habitats. Diversity in the mountains was higher than that in abandoned paddy fields. As the number of years since abandonment increased, the diversity and stability of the carabid beetle community also increased. Abandoned paddy fields in some paddy field areas and adjoining mountainous areas, left with preconditions for management and control, have provided the opportunity to improve the diversity and habitat of small agricultural landscapes. Species composition changed continuously from the paddy fields to the mountains, in accordance with individual species habitat preferences. Abandoned paddy fields in small agricultural landscapes are believed to play an important role as transitional buffer zones between paddy fields and the adjacent mountainous areas.
