Red Data Book 7 한국의 멸종위기 야생동·식물 적색자료집 곤 충 I Red Data Book of Endangered Insects in Korea I 발간사 우리가 살아가는 현세대는 생물다양성의 중요성에 대한 범지구적 공감대가 형성되면서 UN은 1992년 생물다 양성협약(CBD: Conservation on Biological Diversity)을 채택했고, 2010년 5월에는 ‘제3차 세계 생물다양성 전 망’이라는 보고서를 통해 조류 1만여 종, 양서류 6만여 종, 포유류 5천여 종이 멸종위기에 직면해 있으며 생물의 멸종 속도는 이전보다 1,000배 정도 빨라졌다고 경고했습니다. 산업혁명 이후에 산업화와 도시화가 일어나며 생물이 살아가고 있는 서식지가 파괴되었으며, 화석연료의 급 격한 사용량 증가로 인한 기후변화는 수많은 야생동식물을 사라지게 하고 있습니다. 야생동식물의 멸종 즉 생물 다양성의 감소는 단순히 동식물만의 감소를 의미하지 않습니다. 생물다양성은 예로부터 우리의 의식주를 해결 해주었고 지금도 유용한 자원으로 이용되고 있습니다. 따라서 생물다양성 감소는 의식주뿐만 아니라 생태계의 건강성을 무너뜨려 인류의 생존까지도 위협할 수 있다는 것을 의미합니다. 이에 따라, 생물다양성을 보전하고 생물자원을 현명하게 이용하기 위한 국제적 노력과 생물다양성에 대한 인 식을 높이고자 UN은 2010년을 생물다양성의 해로 정했고, 2011년부터 2020년을 생물다양성 10년으로 선포했 습니다. 일본 나고야에서 열린 CBD 제10차 당사국총회에서는 유전자원에 대한 접근 및 이의 이용에서 발생하 는 이익의 공정하고 공평한 공유(ABS: Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization)에 관한 의정서를 채택했습니다. 나고야 의정서의 채택은 국제 사회에 서 생물자원의 경제적 가치와 그 중요성을 다시 한 번 확인 시켜주고 있습니다. 올해 9월에는 세계자연보전연총회(WCC: World Convention Congress)가 제주도에서 개최되었습니다. WCC는 IUCN에서 자연보전, 생물다양성, 기후변화 등을 논의하기 위해 4년마다 개최하는 자연, 환경분야의 올 림픽입니다. 이번 IUCN에서는 ‘자연의 회복력’이라는 주제로 ‘기후변화 해결을 위한 자연의 활용’ 및 ‘자연에 대 한 가치평가와 자연보전’ 등 다양한 프로그램을 통해 환경의 소중함과 세계가 함께 자연을 지켜나가는 방법에 관한 열띤 논의가 있었습니다. -

Новомодный Хабаровский филиал ФГУП «Тихоокеанский научно-исследовательский рыбохозяйственный центр» (ТИНРО-центр), г. Хабаровск Приводятся краткие сведения о работавших на Дальнем Востоке России профессиональных коллекторах чешуекрылых, а также любителях этого дела: Н.П. Крылове, А.Г. Кузнецове, И.Ф. Палшкове, А.В. Маслове, А.Ф. Шамрае и Е.Г. Чулкове. Они практически не оставили после себя научных трудов по бабоч- кам, но их сборы до сих пор хранятся в отечественных и зарубежных коллекциях. Имена большинства квалифицированных коллекторов, внесших свой весо- мый вклад в дальневосточную энтомологию в виде хранящихся в частных и государственных коллекциях сборов, навсегда останутся запечатленными в названиях бабочек и других насекомых. Но если жизнеописания крупных ученых чаще всего уже стали предметом исследований историков науки, то о коллекторах и любителях известно крайне мало. С легкостью можно указать довольно значительное число имен сборщиков дореволюционного периода или владельцев частных коллекций. В конце XIX – начале XX века коллекцио- нирование насекомых, особенно бабочек, можно считать распространенным занятием. Это дело было уважаемым, ведь нередко приносило, кроме мораль- ного удовлетворения, неплохие доходы. Отношение к частным коллекциям резко изменилось в советский период. -
Molecular Phylogeny and Generic-Level Taxonomy of the Widespread Palaeotropical `Heteropsis Clade' (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae

The mycalesine butterfly genus Heteropsis Westwood, 1850 (Satyrinae: Mycalesina) has recently been conceived to be represented in three major palaeotropical regions (Madagascar, Africa and Asia), but there has been no formal taxonomic treatment covering this entire group. Studies aimed at understanding the evolutionary success of Mycalesina in the Old World tropics have been hampered by the lack of both a robust phylogeny and a stable nomenclature for this satyrine subtribe. Here, we present a well-supported molecular phylogeny based on 10 genes and 133 exemplar taxa, representing almost all known species groups of Heteropsis (s.l.), and including all but four known species in Madagascar. We also combine sequences of the exemplars with a morphological matrix of 428 characters. The widespread ‘Heteropsis clade’ is confirmed as monophyletic, but lineages in different geographic regions also form endemic and well-supported clades with deep divergences among them. -

We analyzed insect pollinators visiting fruits and flowers in different orchards and wild fields across Korea during the last three decades, published in scientific journals in Korea. A total of 368 species in 115 families of 7 orders were recorded to serve as pollinators in 43 different agricultural crops and wild flowers. The most diverse insect pollinators were the species of Hymenoptera followed by Diptera and Coleoptera. The dominant insect pollinator was the honey bee (Apis melliferas) followed by Eristalis cerealis, Tetralonia nipponensis, Xylocopa appendiculata, Eristalis tenax, Helophilus virgatus and Artogeia rapae. Study methods employed for diversity of pollinators were mostly sweep netting, but trapping was mostly employed for bee diversity and direct observation for lepidopteran diversity. Bee diversity was higher in orchards while insect order level diversity was higher in wild plant pollinators, suggesting the important roles of wild flowers for conservation of insect pollinators.

National Records Number Research Note 11-1400377-000381-01 No. 384 Forest Eco-Atlas of Korea Preface The mountains of Korea are gently curved and smooth due to old geological changes in the Korean peninsula. In this respect, the image of the mountains has something in common with the Koreans, a people who are easy-going and soft-hearted. The forests of Korea have long shared happiness and sorrow with the people. Only 60 years ago, these forests were completely devastated by the Korean War and the poverty that ensued. However, the Korean people strived to revive the economy from the ruins of war and make the woodlands green again. Their great reforestation efforts have come to fruition. In the past, conifers dominated the forests in Korea, but deciduous trees gradually are replacing the pines. The local vegetation was changing. A variety of harmful pests such as pine caterpillar, pine needle gall midge, and pine wilt disease inflicted serious damage to the pine forest. These days, fortunately, the destruction was reduced thanks to the diversity of tree species. Nevertheless, landslides and forest fires still damage the forests. No doubt, these are effects of climate change. It is known that forests play a very important role in addressing climate change. Within the forest, countless plants, animals, insects, and microorganisms live with each other in a harmonious tangled web of relationships. The forests provide humans with the necessities to survive, such as drinking water. The trees absorb carbon dioxide in the air. The woods also help reduce the impact of natural disasters. -

Spatial Distribution of Butterflies in Accordance with Climate Change In
sustainability Article Spatial Distribution of Butterflies in Accordance with Climate Change in the Korean Peninsula Sangdon Lee * , Hyeyoung Jeon and Minkyung Kim Department of Environmental Sciences & Engineering, College of Engineering, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Korea; [email protected] (H.J.); [email protected] (M.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 19 February 2020; Accepted: 3 March 2020; Published: 5 March 2020 Abstract: The effects of climate change are becoming apparent in the biosphere. In the 20th century, South Korea experienced a 1.5 ◦C temperature increase due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. If the changes continue, it is predicted that approximately 15–37% of animal and plant species will be endangered after 2050. Because butterflies act as a good indicator for changes in the temperature, the distribution of butterflies can be used to determine their adaptability to climate patterns. Local meteorological data for the period 1938–2011 were used from the National Forest Research Institute of Korea. Local temperature data were additionally considered among the basic information, and the distribution patterns of butterflies were analyzed for both the southern and northern regions. Southern butterflies (with northern limit) tend to increase in number with significant correlation between the temperature and number of habitats (p < 0.000), while northern butterflies (with southern limit) show no statistical significance between the temperature and number of habitats, indicating their sensitivity to temperature change. This finding is in accordance with the conclusion that southern butterflies are more susceptible to climate change when adapting to local environments and expanding their original temperature range for survival, which leads to an increase in the numbers of their habitats.
