청원군에 소재한 금개구리(Rana plancyi chosenica) 개체군의 번식동태 = Reproductive Dynamics of the Gold-spotted Pond Frog (Rana plancyi chosenica) Population Located at Cheongwon, Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

To study reproductive dynamics of a Gold-spotted pond frog (Rana chosenica) population located at Gangnae, Cheongwon, Chungbuk, Korea, we monitored the population over 207 days between April 17th 2007 and December 18th 2008 using a drift fence accompanied with 20 pitfall traps. The population was located in an agricultural wetland, compromising three small ponds. Gold-spotted pond frogs immigrated into the wetland between April 16th and June 17th and emigrated from the wetland between September 21st and November 12th. Precipitation showed a positive correlation with the number of migrated frogs in Autumn 2007 and Spring 2008, but other environmental factors such as air and water temperatures and relative humidity did not show any significant relationships. In general, small frogs first migrated into and from the wetland, but the trend was not strong. Female gold-spotted pond frogs were bigger than males. During the autumn migration, small frogs of which snout-vent length was smaller than 20 mm were found, indicating that successful breeding occurred in the population. Our results could be useful to conserve this endangered species in Korea.
