Toe entrapment and injury by plastic color rings in a Pale Thrush (Turdus pallidus) and a Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) = 플라스틱 유색가락지에 의한 흰배지빠귀(Turdus pallidus)와 검은이마직박구리(Pycnonotus sinensis)의 발가락 끼임과 부상

국문 초록 (Abstract)

플라스틱 유색가락지는 수많은 생태학 및 조류학 현장 연구에 흔히 사용되고 있으나, 참새목 조류에서 유색가락지로 인한 부상에 대한 기록은 드문 실정이다. 본 연구는 전남 신안군 홍도에서의 가락지 부착조사 과정에서 최초 포획된 날로부터 596일 후 재포획된 흰배지빠귀(Turdus pallidus)가 분할식 다빅(Darvic) 유색가락지로 인해 발가락이 소실되었음을 확인하고 이를 처음으로 보고한다. 또 인접한 흑산도에서는 포획된 지 135일 후에 재관찰된 검은이마직박구리(Pycnonotus sinensis)의 왼쪽 뒷발가락이 유색가락지 안쪽에 끼어있는 사례도 함께 확인하였다. 유색가락지를 부착한 산새류 1,900여 개체에서 확인된 두 사례를 바탕으로, 향후 유색가락지의 사용과 부착에 있어서 일반적인 유색가락지 부착지침을 따르는 신중한 접근법을 강조한다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Color rings have been commonly and widely used in many ecological and ornithological studies in the field, but color ring-induced injury in passerines is poorly documented. In this report, we describe the first case of toe loss caused by a dislocated split Darvic ring in a Pale Thrush (Turdus pallidus) that was recaptured 596 days after its initial capture and release on Hong-do Island, the Republic of Korea. We also found that a left hind toe of a Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) was entrapped by a split color ring when the bird was observed 135 days after the marking at Heuksan-do Island. Based on these two cases out of the 1,900 color ringed birds, we emphasize a precautionary approach following general guidelines in the application and use of color leg rings for future studies.
