Abstract

For twenty-nine aquatic insect taxa common to mountain headwater streams in central Korean peninsula, body length-dry mass and -ash free dry mass relationships were developed by using a natural log transformed power function. Most of the predicted mass at length of this study was rather similar to those of other studies. Taxa with higher predicted mass at length than predicted by others tend to have soft exoskeleton and move by stretching and contracting their body. Ash rate in average was 10% of dry mass and was not significantly different among functional feeding groups.

소하천에 서식하는 수서곤충 29 분류군에 대한 몸길이와 건조질량, 그리고 회분외질량에 관한 회귀식이 자연 log로 변환된 멱함수를 이용하여 구해졌다. 수서곤충은 강원도 북부지방의 산간계류에서 채집되었다. 각 분류군에서 주어진 몸길이에 대해 회귀식이 예측하는 건조질량은 기 보고된 다른 저자들의 예측값과 대체로 유사하였지만, 체벽이 연하고 이동할 때 몸을 수축-이완하는 분류군에서는 다른 저자들이 예측값에 비해 높았다. 수서곤충의 평균 회분율은 건조질량의 10%였으며, 섭식기능군간 차이는 인정되지 않았다.
