Weeyawat Jaitrong,Seiki Yamane,Niyom Chanthalangsy 한국응용곤충학회 2011 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.14 No.3

Ants of the genus Aenictus are recorded from Laos for the first time. Here, we report six species including a new species and a new status: Aenictus binghami Forel, A. cf. dentatus Forel, A. doydeei Jaitrong et Yamane, sp. nov., A. cf. fuchuanensis Zhou, A. hodgsoni Forel, stat. nov., and A. nishimurai Terayama et Kubota. A. doydeei sp. nov. is very probably a nocturnal species.

First record of genus Protanilla (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Leptanillinae) from India with description of a new species

Himender Bharti,Shahid Ali Akbar 한국응용곤충학회 2015 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.18 No.3

Protanilla wardi sp. nov. from Kerala, India is described and illustrated, which also confirms first record of the genus from this country. The new species is somewhat close to P. rafflesi Bolton, 1990 for its anteriorly concave petiolar node but differs from the latter by its vertical, not anteriorly inclined postpetiolar node. The new species represents only the 9th known species of this rare ant genus to be described.

이철민,권태성 韓國林學會 2013 한국산림과학회지 Vol.102 No.1

본 연구에서는 곤충군집의 특성을 이용하여 도시숲의 산림건강성 평가를 시도하였다. 이를 위해 서울도심에 위치한 홍릉 숲에서 함정트랩법으로 개미(Formicidae)와 지표성 딱정벌레(Carabidae)를 조사하여 광릉 숲의 그것과 비교하였다. 여기서 광릉 숲은 잘 보존되고 생물다양성과 자연성이 높기 때문에 산림건강성이 높을 것으로 추정하였다. 광릉 숲에 비해 홍릉 숲은 개미는 매우 많았으나, 딱정벌레는 매우 적었다. 종다양성의 경우에는 종풍부도는 광릉 숲이 높았으나, 종다양도는 홍릉 숲이 높았다. 광릉 숲에서는 소수의 숲 특이종에 의한 우점 현상이 심한데 비해, 홍릉 숲에서는 숲 특이종과 일반종이 균형을 이룸으로서 다양도가 광릉 숲에 비해 높았다. 이와 같이 홍릉 숲은 광릉 숲과는 곤충군집의 특성이 많이 달랐다. 본 연구에서는 곤충군집의 특성을 이용하여 도시숲의 산림건강성 평가를 시도하였다. 이를 위해 서울도심에 위치한 홍릉 숲에서 함정트랩법으로 개미(Formicidae)와 지표성 딱정벌레(Carabidae)를 조사하여 광릉 숲의 그것과 비교하였다. 여기서 광릉 숲은 잘 보존되고 생물다양성과 자연성이 높기 때문에 산림건강성이 높을 것으로 추정하였다. 광릉 숲에 비해 홍릉 숲은 개미는 매우 많았으나, 딱정벌레는 매우 적었다. 종다양성의 경우에는 종풍부도는 광릉 숲이 높았으나, 종다양도는 홍릉 숲이 높았다. 광릉 숲에서는 소수의 숲 특이종에 의한 우점 현상이 심한데 비해, 홍릉 숲에서는 숲 특이종과 일반종이 균형을 이룸으로서 다양도가 광릉 숲에 비해 높았다. 이와 같이 홍릉 숲은 광릉 숲과는 곤충군집의 특성이 많이 달랐다. 본 연구에서는 곤충군집의 특성을 이용하여 도시숲의 산림건강성 평가를 시도하였다. 이를 위해 서울도심에 위치한 홍릉 숲에서 함정트랩법으로 개미(Formicidae)와 지표성 딱정벌레(Carabidae)를 조사하여 광릉 숲의 그것과 비교하였다. 여기서 광릉 숲은 잘 보존되고 생물다양성과 자연성이 높기 때문에 산림건강성이 높을 것으로 추정하였다. 광릉 숲에 비해 홍릉 숲은 개미는 매우 많았으나, 딱정벌레는 매우 적었다. 종다양성의 경우에는 종풍부도는 광릉 숲이 높았으나, 종다양도는 홍릉 숲이 높았다. 광릉 숲에서는 소수의 숲 특이종에 의한 우점 현상이 심한데 비해, 홍릉 숲에서는 숲 특이종과 일반종이 균형을 이룸으로서 다양도가 광릉 숲에 비해 높았다. 이와 같이 홍릉 숲은 광릉 숲과는 곤충군집의 특성이 많이 달랐다. The present study is aimed to evaluate forest health in a fragmented urban forest using characteristics of insect communities. Ants (Formicidae) and ground beetles (Carabidae) surveyed by pitfall trap method in the Hongneung forest located in the urban area of Seoul were compared with those in the Gwangneung forest. The Gwangneung forest is supposed to be health due to its high biodiversity and well-conserved nature. Ants of the Hongneung forest was much more abundant compared with those of the Gwangneung forest. However, ground beetles showed the opposite patterns; much more abundant in the Gwangneung forest than in the Hongneung forest. Species richness was higher in the Gwangneung forest than in the Hongneung forest, but species diversity was higher in the Hongneung forest. In the Hongneung forest, forest specialist species and generalist species were balanced, whereas few forest specialists dominated in the Gwangneung forest. This dominance decreased species diversity in those Gwangneung forest. Thus, characteristics of insect community in the Hongneung forest were greatly different with those in the Gwangneung forest.

산불지에서 절지동물 포식자(거미목, 딱정벌레과, 반날개과와 개미과)의 군집구조, 종풍부도 및 풍부도에 대한 교란강도의 영향

이철민 ( Cheol Min Lee ),권태성 ( Tae Sung Kwon ),박영규 ( Young Kyu Park ),김병우 ( Byung Woo Kim ) 한국임학회 2012 한국산림과학회지 Vol.101 No.3

본 연구는 절지동물 포식자인 개미, 거미, 딱정벌레, 반날개의 산림교란에 대한 생물지표의 가능성을 평가하 기 위해 수행되었다. 강원도 고성, 강릉, 삼척에서 다른 산불강도와 복원방법에 의해 생긴 교란강도에 따라 12개의 조사지를 선정했다. 조사지의 교란강도는 미피해지(DD=0), 지표화 피해지(DD=1), 수관화 피해지(DD=2), 수관화피해 후 인공복원지(DD=3)로 구분하였다. 절지동물 포식자는 함정트랩법을 이용하여 채집하였다. 거미, 딱정벌레, 반날개, 개미의 종수와 풍부도는 교란강도에 따라 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 그러나, 초지성 개미의 종수와 풍부도는 교란강도 가 높을 수록 증가했고, 초지성 개미인 곰개미와 일본왕개미는 낙엽층 두께가 깊을 수록 선형적으로 감소했다. 또한, 개미의 군집구조는 교란강도별로 나누어졌다. 개미는 장기간에 걸쳐 먹이섭식활동을 활발하게 하기 때문에, 단 한 차 례의 조사일 경우에는 4가지 포식자 분류군중에서 개미가 산림교란에 대한 생물지표로 가장 유용하였다. The present study was carried out to evaluate arthropod predators (Araneae, Carabidae, Staphylinidae, and Formicidae) as bioindicator for forest disturbance. We selected 12 study sites according to disturbance intensities caused by fire intensity and recovery methods at Goseong, Gangneung, and Samcheok in Gangwondo. Intensities of disturbance were characterized as follows: 0 (no fire), 1 (surface fire), 2 (crown fire), and 3 (crown fire followed by reforestation). Arthropod predators were captured using pitfall trap. Species richness and abundance of Araneae, Carabidae, Staphylinidae, and Formicidae were not different along disturbance intensities. However, species richness and abundance of grassland ants significantly increased in higher disturbance intensities. Abundance of grassland ants such as Formica japonica and Camponotus japonicas linearly decreased along litter depth. Furthermore, ant communities were clustered along disturbance intensities. In a one-time survey, ants may be most useful as bioindicator for forest disturbance among the four predator taxa, because ants actively forage for long seasons.

Description of a new species of the genus Anochetus Mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from Orchid Island, Taiwan

Chi-Man Leong,Wei-Huang Tsai,Mamoru Terayama,Shiuh-Feng Shiao,Chung-Chi Lin 한국응용곤충학회 2018 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.21 No.1

A trap-jaw ant Anochetus lanyuensis sp. nov., belonging to the graeffei species group Brown, 1978, is described onthe basis of worker and gyne castes from Orchid Island (Lanyu), Taiwan. A. lanyuensis sp. nov. is easily distinguishablefrom the other species in the graeffei species group by the large size of its eye, longitudinal striae onthe pronotal disc, and concave dorsal margin of the petiolar node in the frontal view.

Distribution of Ants (Insecta, Hymenoptera) in Chiaksan Mountain, Prov. Gangweon, Korea

Kim, Gab-Tae,Lyu, Dong-Pyo National Science Museum of Korea 2012 Journal of Korean nature Vol.5 No.2

To survey the appearance pattern of ants in Mt. Chiaksan, 1,358 colonies 0f ant species were collected in three courses for two years (2009~2010). As the result, the ant fauna of Mt. Chiaksan were found to be 57 species belonging to 27 genera under 6 subfamilies. Among them, 15 species were newly recorded to inhabit in Mt. Chiaksan: Pachycondyla chinensis, P. pilosior, Hypoponera gleadowi, Proceratium itoi, Myrmica kotokui, M. kurokii, Stenamma ussuriensis, Leptothorax acervorum, Monomorium chinense, Mo. intrudens, Crematogaster vagulla, Camponotus vitiosus, Formica sanguinea, F. yessensis, and Lasius umbratus. Consequently a total of 60 species under 27 genera of Formicidae are recorded from Mt. Chiaksan.

Community Structure, and Species Diversity of Insects (Ants, Ground Beetles) in an Urban Forest of Seoul(Ants, Ground Beetles) in an Urban Forest of Seoul

Cheol Min Lee,Tae-Sung Kwon 한국응용곤충학회 2013 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2013 No.04

The present study is aimed to evaluate forest health in a fragmented urban forest using insects which are rarely used for evaluation of forest health. It is supposed that forest would be health if insect community in an urban forest is similar to that in healthy forests. Ants (Formicidae) and ground beetles (Carabidae) surveyed by pitfall trap method in the Hongneung forest located in the urban area of Seoul were compared with those in the Gwangneung forest. The Gwangneung forest is supposed to be health due to its high biodiversity and well-conserved nature. Ants of the Hongneung forest was much more abundant compared with those of the Gwangneung forest. However, ground beetles showed the opposite patterns; much more abundant in the Gwangneung forest than in the Hongneung forest. Species richness was higher in the Gwangneung forest than in the Hongneung forest, but species diversity was higher in the Hongneung forest. This dominance decreased species diversity in the Gwangneung forest. Thus, characteristics of insect community in the Hongneung forest were greatly different with that in the Gwangneung forest. This great difference of insect communities between the target and reference sites may indicate whether the Hongneung forest would not be health according to the working hypothesis, or may indicate simply the characteristic of the fragmented urban forest. In order to determine the significant decision, the repetitive studies are needed on this regard.
