파종방법을 달리한 논생태계내 절지동물의 군집상을 분석하기 위하여 경기도 수원에 위치한 담수직파, 건답직파, 이앙구의 3포장과 이천에 위치한 담수직파, 이앙구 2포장을 선정하여 1994년도에 조사하였다. 절지동물은 총 15목 45과가 채집되었다. 절지동물군집을 기능군(길드)로 나누어 분석한 결과, 두 지역 모두 파종 방법에 관계없이 밀도가 '천적군>해충군>비해충군'의 순으로 나타났다. 해충군에는 멸구과(Delphacidae)의 벼멸구(Nilaparvata lugens Stal), 흰등멸구(Sogatella furcifera Horvath), 애멸구(Laodelphax striatellus Fallen)와 매미충과(Cicadelidae)의 끝동매미충(Nephotettix cincticeps Uhler)이 우점종들이었고 전체 해충군의 80% 이상을 차지하였다. 파종방식에 따른 해충밀도의 유의성 있는 차이는 없었다. 천적군에서는 거미류가 전체 천적의 90% 이상을 차지했다. 그 중 배회성 거미(hunting spider)와 50% 이상이었고 늑대거미과(Lycosidae)의 황산적거미(Pirata subpiraticus Bos. et St.)가 주요 우점종이었다. 조망성 거미류(webbing spider)에서는 갈거미과 (Tetragnathidae)의 턱거미(Pachygnatha clerki Sundevall)가 주요 우점종이었다. 파종방식에 따른 거미군 집구성의 뚜렷한 차이는 없었다. 비해충군은 본답 초기에 깔따구류 등의 파리류가 주종을 이루었고 벼의 생육이 진전됨에 따라 급격히 감소하였다. 파리류의 발생은 기계이앙구보다 직파구에서 많았으며 특시 건답직파구에서 많이 발생하였다.

해수에 잠긴 인공기질 표면에 부착한 박테리아가 규조류의 후속부착에 미치는 영향에 대해 상반된 견해가 있다. 그러나 자연조건의 해수에서 인공기질 표면에 먼저 부착한 해산 박테리아가 규조류의 후속부착에 어떤 영향을 주는지에 대해서는 아직 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해산 박테리아를 일정 시간별로 미리 부착시킨 여러 재질을 이용하여 실험하였다. 첫번째 실험에서는 유리 슬라이드에 미리 해산 박테리아를 0~133 시간별로 부착시키고 해수에 일정기간 노출시킨 후 규조류의 부착수도를 조사하였다. 규조류의 부착은 먼저 부착된 박테리아의 수도와 관련이 없었으며(p>0.05), 무처리 슬라이드에 가장 많은 수의 규조류가, 가장 높은 수도의 박테리아가 부착된 표면에는 가장 적은 수의 규조류가 부착하였다. 두번째 실험에서는 유리와 아크릴 슬라이드를 이용하여 해산 박테리아를 6 일 동안 먼저 부착시킨 것과 한천(agar)을 입힌 슬라이드 그리고 대조구로서 무처리 슬라이드를 해수 중에 함께 노출시켰다. 박테리아가 가장 높은 수도($5.4{\pm}0.02{\times}10^5\;cells\;cm^{-2}$)로 부착된 아크릴 슬라이드에서는 무처리 슬라이드보다 적은 수의 규조류가 부착하였으나, 박테리아가 $2.5{\pm}1.0{\times}10^5\;cells\;cm^{-2}$로 부착된 유리 슬라이드에서는 무처리 슬라이드와 차이가 없었다. 반면 점액질을 모사한 표면에 부착한 규조류의 수도와 이입계수는 다른 표면들에 비해 평균 2 배 이상 높게 나타났다. 따라서 해산 박테리아의 부착이 규조류 후속부착의 선결요건이 아닌 것으로 판단된다.

The negative impact of monoculture rubber plantations on biodiversity and associated ecological processes/ecosystem services has led to suggestions on the use of integrated land use systems for rubber cultivation and production in order to ensure environmental sustainability. However, there is paucity of information on the effect of such integrated land use systems on the diversity and abundance of the rubber plantation undergrowth. We evaluated and compared undergrowth plant species composition, richness, abundance, diversity and interaction, in three integrated systems (Rubber-Strelitzia reginae Integrated System - RSrIS, Rubber-Podocarpus nagi Integrated System - RPnIS & Naturally Managed Rubber Plantation - NMRP) with three Rubber Monoculture Plantations (RMP₁, RMP₂ & RMP₃) adjacent to the integrated systems, respectively, at the Investigation and Experiment Station of Tropical Crops, Danzhou, Hainan, China. Undergrowth species density was higher in the rubber monocultures than in the integrated systems except in RSrIS. Species richness and diversity were also higher in the monocultures except in NMRP. Species similarity/interaction between the monocultures and the integrated systems was highest between RMP₃ and NMRP. The NRMP proved to be the best model of natural rubber integrated system for the conservation of undergrowth species richness, diversity and interspecific interaction. However, the conservation of undergrowth species in other forms of integrated natural systems can be enhanced by considering the ecology of species to be integrated in terms of their growth characteristics, competitive nature, and ability to grow in association with other species.

An Individual-Based Model (IBM) was developed by employing natural and toxic survival rates of individuals to elucidate the community responses of benthic macroin-vertebrates to anthropogenic disturbance in the streams. Experimental models (dose-response and relative sensitivity) and mathematical models (power law and negative exponential distribution) were applied to determinate the individual survival rates due to acute toxicity in stressful conditions. A power law was additionally used to present the natural survival rate. Life events, covering movement, exposure to contaminants, death and reproduction, were simulated in the IBM at the individual level in small (1 m) and short (1 week) scales to produce species abundance distributions (SADs) at the community level in large (5 km) and long (1~2 years) scales. Consequently, the SADs, such as geometric series, log-series, and log-normal distribution, were accordingly observed at severely (Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP<10), intermediately (BMWP<40) and weakly (BMWP${\geq}50$) polluted sites. The results from a power law and negative exponential distribution were suitably fitted to the field data across the different levels of pollution, according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The IBMs incorporating natural and toxic survival rates in individuals were useful for presenting community responses to disturbances and could be utilized as an integrative tool to elucidate community establishment processes in benthic macroin-vertebrates in the streams.

Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tides have caused great economic losses in the aquaculture industry in many countries. To investigate the roles of metazooplankton in red tide dynamics of C. polykrikoides in the South Sea of Korea, the abundance of metazooplankton was measured at 60 stations over 1- or 2-week intervals from May to November 2014. In addition, the grazing impacts of dominant metazooplankton on red tide species and their potential heterotrophic protistan grazers were estimated by combining field data on the abundance of red tide species, heterotrophic protist grazers, and dominant metazooplankton with data obtained from the literature concerning ingestion rates of the grazers on red tide species and heterotrophic protists. The mean abundance of total metazooplankton at each sampling time during the study was 297-1,119 individuals $m^{-3}$. The abundance of total metazooplankton was significantly positively correlated with that of phototrophic dinoflagellates (p < 0.01), but it was not significantly correlated with water temperature, salinity, and the abundance of diatoms, euglenophytes, cryptophytes, heterotrophic dinoflagellates, tintinnid ciliates, and naked ciliates (p > 0.1). Thus, dinoflagellate red tides may support high abundance of total metazooplankton. Copepods dominated metazooplankton assemblages at all sampling times except from Jul 11 to Aug 6 when cladocerans and hydrozoans dominated. The calculated maximum grazing coefficients attributable to calanoid copepods on C. polykrikoides and Prorocentrum spp. were 0.018 and $0.029d^{-1}$, respectively. Therefore, calanoid copepods may not control populations of C. polykrikoides or Prorocentrum spp. Furthermore, the maximum grazing coefficients attributable to calanoid copepods on the heterotrophic dinoflagellates Polykrikos spp. and Gyrodinium spp., which were grazers on C. polykrikoides and Prorocentrum spp., respectively, were 0.008 and $0.047d^{-1}$, respectively. Therefore, calanoid copepods may not reduce grazing impact by these heterotrophic dinoflagellate grazers on populations of the red tide dinoflagellates.

The mixotrophic dinoflagellate Tripos furca causes red tides in the waters of many countries. To understand its population dynamics, mortality due to predation as well as growth rate should be assessed. Prior to the present study, the heterotrophic dinoflagellates Noctiluca scintillans, Polykrikos kofoidii, Protoperidinium steinii, and mixotrophic dinoflagellate Fragilidium subglobosum were known to ingest T. furca. However, if other common heterotrophic protists are able to feed on T. furca has not been tested. We explored interactions between T. furca and nine heterotrophic dinoflagellates and one naked ciliate. Furthermore, we investigated the abundance of T. furca and common heterotrophic protists in coastal-offshore waters off Yeosu, southern Korea, on Jul 31, 2020, during its red tide. Among the tested heterotrophic protists, the heterotrophic dinoflagellates Aduncodinium glandula, Luciella masanensis, and Pfiesteria piscicida were able to feed on T. furca. However, the heterotrophic dinoflagellates Gyrodiniellum shiwhaense, Gyrodinium dominans, Gyrodinium jinhaense, Gyrodinium moestrupii, Oblea rotunda, Oxyrrhis marina, and the naked ciliate Rimostrombidium sp. were unable to feed on it. However, T. furca did not support the growth of A. glandula, L. masanensis, or P. piscicida. Red tides dominated by T. furca prevailed in the South Sea of Korea from Jun 30 to Sep 5, 2020. The maximum abundance of heterotrophic dinoflagellates in the waters off Yeosu on Jul 31, 2020, was as low as 5.0 cells mL-1, and A. glandula, L. masanensis, and P. piscicida were not detected. Furthermore, the abundances of the known predators F. subglobosum, N. scintillans, P. kofoidii, and Protoperidinium spp. were very low or negligible. Therefore, no or low abundance of effective predators might be partially responsible for the long duration of the T. furca red tides in the South Sea of Korea in 2020.

The study aims to assess composition, diversity and population indices of natural regeneration of woody species in Jebel El Gerrie forest reserve, Blue Nile State, Sudan. We conducted field work between December 2018 and January 2019. We used random sampling to collect vegetation data in the forest where we made a total of 90 circular sample plots (radius 17.84 m) and distributed them proportionally to the area of each of the four density-based vegetation classes of the forest i.e. high density (C1), medium density (C2), low density (C3) and crop land (C4). In each sample plot we identified all regenerating tree species and counted their regeneration frequencies. We calculated ecological metrics of regeneration frequency, density, abundance, richness, evenness, diversity and importance value index (IVI) and drew abundance rank curve. Results revealed that out of fifteen mature tree species present, natural regeneration of 8 species, which belong to 6 families, was observed. The relatively most frequently naturally regenerating and abundant species were Anogeissus leiocarpa and Combretum hartmannianum. Richness, evenness and diversity of regenerating species were 1.33, 0.82 and 1.7, respectively. One-way ANOVA (α=0.05) of mean regeneration densities disclosed that there were significant differences (F_3,86=16.77, p=0.000) between C2 & C3 (p=0.000) and C2 & C4 (p=0.000). While regeneration of seven tree species were absent, two, two and four species were of good, poor and fair regeneration status, respectively. A comparison of mean density of natural regeneration with that of parent trees reflects a poor regeneration status of the forest. The study provides empirical results on the regeneration status of species and signifies the need for management interventions for species conservation and restoration, maintenance of biodiversity and sustainable production.

Many dinoflagellates produce bioluminescence. To estimate the intensity of bioluminescence produced by populations of the heterotrophic dinoflagellates Noctiluca scintillans and Polykrikos kofoidii and autotrophic dinoflagellate Alexandrium mediterraneum in Korean waters, we measured cellular bioluminescence intensity as a function of water temperature and calculated population bioluminescence intensity with cell abundances and water temperature. The mean 200-second-integrated bioluminescence intensity per cell (BL_cell) of N. scintillans satiated with the chlorophyte Dunaliella salina decreased continuously with increasing water temperature from 5 to 25℃. However, the BL_cell of P. kofoidii satiated with the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum continuously increased from 5 to 15℃ but decreased at temperatures exceeding this (to 30℃). Similarly, the BL_cell of A. mediterraneum continuously increased from 10 to 20℃ but decreased between 20 and 30℃. The difference between highest and lowest BL_cell of N. scintillans, P. kofoidii, and A. mediterraneum at the tested water temperatures was 3.5, 11.8, and 21.0 times, respectively, indicating that water temperature clearly affected BL_cell. The highest estimated population bioluminescence intensity (BL_popul) of N. scintillans in Korean waters in 1998-2022 was 4.22 × 10¹³ relative light unit per liter (RLU L^-1), which was 1,850 and 554,000 times greater than that of P. kofoidii and A. mediterraneum, respectively. This indicates that N. scintillans populations produced much brighter bioluminescence in Korean waters than the populations of P. kofoidii or A. mediterraneum.

남조 대발생을 제어하기 위한 생물제재의 처리가 수중 생태계에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 연구의 일환으로, 살조세균 처리이후 증가된 용존성 microcystin-LR (MCLR)이 식물플랑크톤 군집의 종조성 및 현존량, 그리고 조류독소 분포에 어떠한 영향을 주는 지를 파악하기 위하여, MCLR standard를 성격이 다른 3가지 현장수를 넣은 시험관에 대조군, 현장 농도의 10배, 100배 씩 처리하고 식물플랑크톤 생물량, 엽록소 a,환경요인, 독소량 등의 변화를 각각 조사하였다. 규조 Stephanodiscus hantzschii가 압도적으로 우점하였던 천호대교에서는 독소처리이후 현존량은 점차 감소하였으며 종조성은 크게 변하지 않았으며, 규조 Aluacoseira와 황색편모조 Dinobryon이 우점한 길동생태공원에서는 현존량이 크게 감소한 반면, 고농도 처리에서는 녹조 Scenedesmus가 크게 발달하였다. 남조류와 용존성 MCLR 농도가 가장 높았던 양수리 육각지에서는 남조 M. aeruginosa 감소 및 총 현존량의 감소가 일어났다. 이상의 결과는 생물제재 처리이후 남조 M. aeruginosa 사멸에 따른 용존성 독소의 증가가 수중내 식물플랑크톤 군집의 종조성 및 현존량 변화를 더욱 심화시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다.
