본 연구에서는 전통 원림에서 행해진 비둘기 애호 문화를 살펴보고, 전통 원림의 동물 소재로서 비둘기의 면모를 조명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 비둘기의 종류와 명칭을 파악하고, 쓰임과 상징적 의미를 분석하여 비둘기에 대한 인식을 파악하였다. 비둘기를 통한 원림 향유 문화를 살펴보기 위해 한국고전종합DB와 한국사데이터베이스에서 ‘비둘기’로 검색하여 도출된 고문헌의 번역본을 대상으로 내용 분석하였으며 옛 그림을 참고하였다. 비둘기는 귀소성이 있는 새로서 전서구(傳書鳩)로 이용되었으며, 약용, 식용으로도 쓰였다. 비둘기는 다양한 상징적 의미가 있는데, 풍요(豐饒)와 환우(喚雨)를 의미하였으며, 장수를 상징하였다. 고려 시대부터 조선 전기까지 궁원(宮苑)과 사가 원림에서 비둘기를 길러왔으며, 조선 후기에는 관상용 비둘기의 애완문화가 일시적으로 유행하였다. 비둘기는 원림을 풍부하게 향유하게 하는 공감각적 소재였다. 가지각색의 아름다운 비둘기는 움직이는 조경 소재로서 원림의 가변적 경관을 창출했다. 비둘기의 움직임에 따라 다르게 나타나는 방울 소리는 경관의 청각적 체험을 풍부하게 유도했다. 비둘기집은 비둘기와 더불어 원림을 풍부하게 하는 완상 요소였다. 원림 조영자는 비둘기 집을 만들고 원림에 배치하는 행위를 통해 원림 조영에 적극적으로 관여했다. 또한 문인들은 봄을 상징하는 수목이자 비둘기의 먹이 제공원으로서 매실나무, 복숭아나무, 살구나무, 산사나무 등과 더불어 부귀와 은일을 상징하는 모란과 국화를 식재하여 비둘기와 함께 향유했으며, 이를 시와 그림으로 표현하였다. 본 연구는 전통 원림의 공감각적 소재로서 비둘기에 주목하여 전통 원림 문화를 이해하고자 하였다. 동물 요소로서 원림에 도입된 비둘기의 완상 요소와 조영자의 향유 행태에 대한 조경사적 컨텐츠를 제공한다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 번역문을 분석 대상으로 삼았다는 한계를 가지며, 향후 원림에서 비둘기를 기른 구체적 사례와 근현대 시기 조경 공간에서의 비둘기 기르기에 대한 후속 연구가 촉구된다. This study attempted to examine the loving pigeon culture practiced in traditional gardens and to illuminate the aspect of pigeons as a landscape animal material. In order to understand the culture of enjoying old garden through pigeons, the contents were analyzed for the translated version of the old literatures and paintings. Pigeons have been used as Jeonseo-gu(傳書鳩) and also for medicinal purposes and food. Pigeons have various symbolic meanings such as abundance, hospitality, and longevity. From the Goryeo Dynasty to the early Joseon Dynasty, pigeons were raised in the palace and private garden. In the late Joseon Dynasty, temporary trend of ornamental pigeon culture occurred. Pigeons were synesthesia materials that enriched the forest. Various beautiful pigeons created a variable landscape of the primeval forest as a moving landscape material. The bell sounds that appear differently depending on the pigeon's movement led to a rich auditory experience of the landscape. The pigeon house was an ornamental element that enriched the old garden along with the pigeon. The owners of garden were involved in gardening through the act of buying a pigeon house and placing it in the garden or making a pigeon house themselves. In addition, the writers planted plum trees, peach trees, apricot trees, and hawthorn trees as a symbol of spring and a source of food for pigeons, and expressed them in poems and paintings. This study has a limitation in that the translation of the old text was used as an analysis data. The follow-up studies on specific cases of raising pigeons in the old garden, in modern and contemporary landscape spaces are urged.

Population genetic structure and conservation management of hill pigeons (Columba rupestris) recently endangered in South Korea

Kim Jin-Yong,Eo Soo Hyung,Kang Seung-Gu,Hwang Jung Eun,Yeo Yonggu,Yoon Jongmin 한국유전학회 2022 Genes & Genomics Vol.44 No.11

Background: Hill pigeons (Columba rupestris) are close to local extinction (ca. less than 100 individuals) in South Korea where a variety of conservation management procedures are urgently required. Objective: This study was aimed at determining the conservation direction of captive propagation and reintroduction of hill pigeons using genetic information based on mitochondrial DNA. We also evaluated the extent of hybridization between hill pigeons and cohabiting domestic pigeons. Methods: We used 51 blood samples of hill pigeons from Goheung (GH), Gurye (GR), and Uiryeong (UR), and domestic pigeons cohabiting with hill pigeon populations. Genetic diversity, pairwise Fst, analysis of molecular variance, and haplotype network analysis were used to examine the genetic structure of hill pigeons. Results: Hill pigeons that inhabited South Korea were not genetically distinct from Mongolian and Russian populations and showed relatively low genetic diversity compared with other endangered species in Columbidae. The GR population that exhibited the largest population size showed lower genetic diversity, compared to the other populations, although the pairwise Fst values of the three populations indicated low genetic differentiation. The GH and GR populations were confirmed to lack hybridization, relatively, whereas the UR population was found to exhibit some degrees of hybridization. Conclusion: To conserve hill pigeons with low genetic diversity and differentiation in South Korea, the conservation process of captive propagation and reintroduction may require artificial gene flows among genetically verified populations in captivity and wildness. The introduction of foreign individuals from surrounding countries is also considered an alternative strategy for maintaining genetic diversity.

변영우,황태윤,이중정,김창윤,정종학,Byun, Yung-Woo,Hwang, Tae-Yoon,Lee, Jung-Jeung,Kim, Chang-Yoon,Chung, Jong-Hak 대한예방의학회 1996 예방의학회지 Vol.29 No.1

환경오염의 생물학적 감시수단으로서의 비둘기의 활용가능성을 알아보기 위해, 대기 및 토양의 오염이 다르다고 생각되는 대구시 도심지의 도로변, 대구시의 공원과 경주시에서 비둘기를 포획하여 각 조직내 연농도를 측정하고, 그 장소에서 대기 및 토양내의 연농도를 측정하였다. 대기 중의 연농도는 대구시 도심지역이 $0.11{\mu}g/m^3$, 대구시 공원지역이 $0.05{\mu}g/m^3$, 경주시가 $0.03{\mu}g/m^3$을 대구시 도심지역이 가장 높았으며, 토양의 연농도는 대구시 도심지역이 $4.96{\mu}g/g$ 대구시 공원지역이 $2.65{\mu}g/g$, 경주시가 $0.01{\mu}g/g$로 대구시 도심지역이 역시 가장 높았다. 비둘기 조직내 연농도는 대구시의 도심지 도로주변에 서식하는 비둘기에서 위장을 제외한 간장, 폐장, 신장, 대퇴골, 혈액에서 대구시 공원 비둘기와 경주시의 비둘기보다 유의하게 높은 연농도를 보였으며(p<0.01), 비둘기의 조직내의 연농도는 세 지역 모두 대퇴골에서 가장 높았다. 비둘기의 각 조직 중 연농도와 대기 중 연농도는 대퇴골과 뚜렷한 상관관계를 보였으며, 그 외 위장을 제외한 간장, 신장, 혈액에서 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 토양 중 연농도도 대기 중 연농도와 마찬가지로 대퇴골에서 상관계수가 가장 높았으며, 간장, 신장에서도 토양과의 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 각 장기별로 대기 중 연농도가 토양의 연농도보다 상관관계가 더 높은 것으로 보아 비둘기 조직내 연 축적은 소화기를 통한 흡수보다 호흡기를 통한 흡수가 더 주된 경로로 추측된다. 비둘기의 조직간의 연농도는 혈액과 신장간의 연농도의 상관계수가 0.4850,대퇴골과 폐장간의 상관계수가 0.4848, 대퇴골과 간장의 상관계수가 0.4842로서 유의 한 상관관계(p<0.001)를 보였으며, 그 외의 조직간에는 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 대도시 중심지에서 서식하는 비둘기에서 위장을 제외한 모든 채집조직에서 대도시 공원이나, 중소도시에 서식하는 비둘기의 조직에서보다 유의하게 높은 연농도를 보였으며 이 세 곳에서 대기와 토양내의 연농도와 각각 비둘기 조직내의 연농도간의 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 오염에 대한 생물학적 지표로 이용 가능한 동물 중 대도시에서 흔히 구할 수 있고 다른 동물에 비해 그 지역의 오염 정도를 잘 반영할 수 있는 생리적, 행동학적 특성을 가지고 있는 점 등을 고려할 때 대기 및 토양 오염에 대한 생물학적 지표로 비둘기의 활용성이 높을 것으로 생각한다. It has been studied that a variety of fauna and flora are sensitive biological indicators which reflect the severity of regional pollution of heavy metals, but in the center of part of Taegu City the controversial issue of lead poisoning attributable to the atmosphere which contains an increased concentrations of lead has been raised recently, it is usually hard to find suitable plants or animal in the areas with heavy traffic. Pigeons are ubiquitous in and around Taegu City area, inhabiting even the most densely populated areas with heavy traffic. With its small body size, high metabolic turnover, and rather limited mobility, a pigeon, as a biological indicator is expected. This study was conducted to monitor lead pollution in the Taegu and Kyongju City in Korea. We measured the lead content of the various tissue of three groups of feral pigeon(Columba livia) and soil and atmospheric lead concentration. First group was obtained in heavy traffic area in Taegu City, the second group was obtained a park in Taegu City and the third group was obtained light traffic area in Kyongju City. The air and soil lead concentration of heavy traffic area in Taegu City was $0.11{\mu}g/m^3,\;4.96{\mu}g/g$, that of park in Taegu City was $0.05{\mu}g/m^3,\;2.65{\mu}g/g$ and that of light traffic area in Kyongju City was $0.03{\mu}g/m^3,\;0.01{\mu}g/g$. The lead content of lung, blood, kidney, femur and liver of feral pigeons in heavy traffic area in Taegu City was significantly higher than pigeons obtained in a park in Taegu City and low traffic density area in Kyongju City(p<0.01). But stomach lead content of three group did not reflect a significant difference. In this study positive correlation was found between atmospheric lead concentrations and the concentration of lead in the pigeon's lung(r=0.5040, p<0.001), blood(r=0.3322, p<0.01), kidney(r=0.4824, p<0.001), femur(r=0.7214, p<0.001) and liver(r=0.4836, p<0.01). We can also found positive correlation between soil lead concentrations and the concentration of lead in the pigeon's femur(r=0.4850, p<0.001), kidney(r=0.4850, p<0.001) and liver(r=0.4386, p<0.01). In the pigeon's tissue there were significant correlations between concentration of lead in the blood and kidney(r=4818, p<0.001), femur(r=0.6157, p<0.001) and liver(r=0.3889, p<0.001). In conclusion, at the heavy traffic area in Taegu City, lead concentrations found in the atmosphere and soil are reflected in the lead concentrations of different tissue of urban pigeons. It is suggested that the tissue of pigeons can be good biological indicators of environmental lead pollution.

연구논문 : 기술발전, 시장팽창, 생태적 특성, 그리고 소극적 보호정책이 야생 동물의 멸종에 미친 영향: 미국 서부개척기의 여행비둘기를 사례로

The passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) was a species of pigeon that was once the most common bird in North America. According to some ornithologists, the number of passenger pigeons is estimated as many as five to six billions at the time when the first Europeans arrived there. But this species became extinct in 1914. There were a multiplicity of causes in the extinction; first, the extension of telegraph lines and railroads into the Middle West of the USA beginning in 1850s, second, the loss of vast feeding, nesting, and roosting sites of the passenger pigeon due to the massive deforestation, third, the rapid population growth of the USA during nineteen century, fourth, the commercial exploitation of the species, and finally, the infirm and weak protective efforts. Some important lessons can be learned from the extinction of the passenger pigeon. First, it shows how much critical the public interest is for a successful conservational movement. Second, it illustrates the need for strong laws and practices in the protection of an endangered species from going extinct. Third, the fate of the passenger pigeon proves a very important principle in conservational biology. That is, for each species (bird or other animal) there is a minimum population to sustain the species. Ecologists generally believe that the extinction of the passenger pigeon was due to the loss of their numbers below the minimum owing to overexploitation.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Wild birds play a major role in the evolution, maintenance, and dissemination of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV). Sub-clinical infection with HPAI in resident wild birds could be a source of dissemination of HPAIV and continuous outbreaks. In this study, the pathogenicity and infectivity of two strains of H5N8 clade 2.3.4.4 virus were evaluated in the Mandarin duck (<I>Aix galericulata</I>) and domestic pigeon (<I>Columba livia domestica</I>). None of the birds experimentally infected with H5N8 viruses showed clinical signs or mortality. The H5N8 viruses efficiently replicated in the virus-inoculated Mandarin ducks and transmitted to co-housed Mandarin ducks. Although relatively high levels of viral shedding were noted in pigeons, viral shedding was not detected in some of the pigeons and the shedding period was relatively short. Furthermore, the infection was not transmitted to co-housed pigeons. Immunohistochemical examination revealed the presence of HPAIV in multiple organs of the infected birds. Histopathological evaluation showed the presence of inflammatory responses primarily in HPAIV-positive organs. Our results indicate that Mandarin ducks and pigeons can be infected with H5N8 HPAIV without exhibiting clinical signs; thus, they may be potential healthy reservoirs of the H5N8 HPAIV.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Mandarin ducks and pigeons can be infected with H5N8 HPAI viruses without exhibiting clinical signs. </LI> <LI> The titer of excreted virus was relatively high in a Mandarin duck and was detected in multiple organs. </LI> <LI> Mandarin ducks and pigeons may be potential healthy reservoirs of the H5N8 HPAI virus. </LI> </UL> </P>

한국의 발전주의 도시화와 ‘국가-자연’ 관계의 재조정: 감응의 통치를 통해 바라본 도시 비둘기

김준수 한국공간환경학회 2018 공간과 사회 Vol.28 No.1

This study explores the relationship between the state and nature in the process of developmental urbanization in S. Korea. In particular, I look at the relationship between S. Korea’s developmental state and pigeons in the context of the politico-ecological debate about the material itself and the non-human. The non-human pigeon is mobilized in the mega-event and the process of developmental urbanization through the developmental state. At the same time, the process of mobilization of non-human as a resource works together with governance of nature on various levels. However, from the 1990s, the material characteristics of the pigeon itself were associated with the spatial restructuring process of the developmental urbanization, resulting in a new form of materialistic resonance. This material echo of the pigeons ultimately led to a change in the sense of social affective emotion for the pigeon, which eventually led to the policy changes regarding the pigeon in 2009. In this study, we apply the concept of biophilia and biophobia to track the change process of nonhuman pigeons. This approach embraces the discussion of more-than-human geographies as a critique of the existing human-centered social sciences and also discussion of developmental urbanization which does not involve the political ecological approach. Ultimately, this study suggests the possibility of reinterpretation of the state and urban space through nonhuman and human relations and also through state and nature relations. In addition, the attention of asymmetrical relations between nonhuman and S. Korean’sdevelopmental state implies a theoretical and practical alternative to developmental urbanization. 이 연구는 한국의 발전주의 도시화 과정 속에서 국가와 자연의 관계 형성과 그변화 과정을 탐구한다. 특히 최근 물질 자체에 대한 재주목과 비인간에 대한 정치생태학적 논의 속에서 한국의 발전국가와 비둘기의 관계성을 바라본다. 비인간 비둘기는 국가 영역의 메가 이벤트와 발전주의 도시화 과정 속에서 동원의 대상으로자리한다. 동시에 자원으로서 비인간 비둘기의 동원과정은 다양한 층위에서 자연에 대한 통치성이 함께 작동한다. 그러나 1990년대를 기점으로 비둘기 자체가 가진 물질적 특성들이 발전주의 도시화의 공간 재편 과정과 조응을 이루며 새로운형태의 물질주의적 울림을 발생시켰다. 비둘기의 이와 같은 물질적 울림은 궁극적으로 비둘기에 대한 사회적 정동감각의 변화를 이끌어내 결국 2009년 비둘기의정책적 폐기로 이어졌다. 이 연구에서는 비인간 비둘기에 대한 정동감각의 시기별변화 과정을 추적하기 위해 바이오필리아와 바이오포비아의 개념을 적용한다. 이와 같은 접근법은 발전주의 도시화 논의에서 제외된 정치생태학적 접근과 기존의인간중심적 사회과학에 대한 비판으로써 비인간에 대한 논의를 수용하고 있다. 궁극적으로 이 연구는 비인간과 인간의 관계성에 대해 환기시킴으로써 비인간을 통한 인간의 재해석 가능성과 국가와 자연의 관계를 통해 국가와 도시 공간에 대한재해석의 가능성을 제시한다. 또한, 비인간과 한국의 발전주의 국가에 대한 비대칭적 관계성에 대한 환기는 발전주의 도시화에 대한 이론적, 실천적 대안을 함의하고 있다.

Morphological features of a hybrid between a Hill Pigeon and a Feral Pigeon at the early stage of interspecific hybridization

강승구,이선주,윤준희,김진용,권인기,박민지,윤종민 한국조류학회II 2022 한국조류학회지 Vol.29 No.2

This study provides evidence of interspecific hybridization between a female Hill Pigeon (Columba rupestris) and a male Feral Pigeon (C. livia var. domestica), producing offspring at the Hwaeomsa Temple in Gurye County, South Korea. Under the Hill Pigeon Recovery Plan (2021–2027) established by the Korean Ministry of Environment, we field-surveyed the colonial breeding habitat, captured the interspecifically hybridized family, and transferred it to captivity for further investigation in 2021. Each parent exhibited species-specific characteristics of the Hill and Feral Pigeons. The overall appearance and size of the hybrid offspring were similar to those of the female parent, but the absence of a white-banded tail followed the trait of the male parent. Our findings may provide fundamental information for future morphological and genetic studies of the interspecific hybridization of these two species.

도심 지역과 공단 지역에 서식하는 비둘기의 알, 새끼, 성조의 납과 카드뮴 농도 비교

남동하 ( Nam Dongha ),이두표 ( Lee Du Pyo ),구태회 ( Gu Taehui ) 한국환경생물학회 2003 환경생물 : 환경생물학회지 Vol.21 No.2

도심 지역인 서울시청 부근과 공단지역인 안산 반월공단지역 내에 서식하는 비둘기의 알, 새끼, 성조를 대상으로 각 발달 단계에 따른 납과 카드뮴의 체내 축적 농도를 비교하고 각 지역의 오염 수준을 파악하고자 수행하였다. 조사 결과, 납 및 카드뮴 농도는 뼈, 신장, 간, 허파 등 모든 조직에서 새끼보다 어미가 높았으며, 특히 납은 뼈에서, 카드뮴은 신장에서 현저하게 높았다. 서울의 경우, 납 농도는 알보다 새끼의 뼈 조직에서 약 3배 높았고, 새끼보다 성조의 뼈 조직에서 약 6배가 높게 검출되었다. 카드뮴의 경우에도 알보다 새끼의 신장 조직에서 약 2배, 새끼보다 성조의 신장 조직에서 약 17배 정도 높게 검출되었다. 이와 같이 납과 카드뮴 농도는 모두 알, 새끼, 성조의 발달 진행에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 이러한 경향은 안산 공단지역보다 서울지역이 더욱 현저하였다. The aim of the study was to determine Pb and Cd accumulation and to assess its trends in relation to age categories in feral pigeons from urban (Seoul) and industrial complex (Ansan) areas. This study shows that Pb and Cd concentrations in bone, kidney, liver, and lung increase with different developmental stages in feral pigeons. Particularly, Pb in the bones and Cd in the kidneys of birds were highly increased from chicks to adults. Mean Pb concentrations in pigeons from Seoul were three times higher in chicks than in eggs and six times greater in adults than in chicks. For Cd concentrations, pigeons in Seoul contained two times higher in chicks than in eggs and seventeen times higher in adults than in chicks. It indicates that Pb and Cd concentrations increase with age, and these are apparent to the results in Seoul than in the Ansan colony.

손창섭의 라디오 단편소설 『비둘기 한 쌍』 연구

최미진 현대문학이론학회 2009 現代文學理論硏究 Vol.0 No.39

This study is aimed at introducing a radio novel “A Pair of Pigeons” written by Son, Chang-seob and examining its characteristics. “A Pair of Pigeons” aired on Tuesday, April 8, 1958 at 7:10 ~ 25 p.m. on <<Recital>> radio program and was published later on Broadcasting magazine's April issue in 1958 (Volume 3, Issue 4). It is notable that Son, Chang-seob chose the radio as a medium for his literary works as he was building a reputation as a post-war new-generation novelist. When we associate the background of the creation of radio novels with conditions for radio broadcasting at that time, it is assumed that the Seoul Central Broadcasting Station brought in many up-and-coming writers following its introduction of an all-day broadcasting system. From an individual perspective, however, it can be seen as a clear sign that the author began to detach himself from literary magazines. The adoption of popular media led by radio novels is an important clue for exploring the changes in novels. “A Pair of Pigeons” was quite different from his other works which embodied the scar of the Korean War. First distinctive characteristic of this radio novel is the first-person narrative to obtain the sense of familiarity and reality. Second, day-to-day matters are unfolding in a very logical way to help listeners to easily understand the story. Lastly, it allows listeners to naturally sympathize with the necessity to permit their marriage. In a broad context, based on these characteristics, “A Pair of Pigeons” represented the ideal family model for the post-war Korean society. But, at the micro level, it criticized the dominant family model of the time which combined the ideal modern family and traditional patriarchy through the love of married couple and democratic and horizontal family order. In other words, this story is a criticism of patriarchal ideology inherent in the predominant family model. Given these outcomes of this study, it can be concluded that “A Pair of Pigeons” is a clear evidence that Son, Chang-seob was pondering upon human relationship and communication and trying to bring a change to his literary world.
