Abstract

A research program for the roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) has been set up at the Jeju Experimental Forest of Warm-temperate and Subtropical Forest Research Center in Jeju Island. To explore the home range size and habitat environment, 3 males and 3 females have been captured and released with GPS-CDMA based telemetry since 24th April 2012. Among them 2 females were captured at Hannam Forest of Seoguipo, were pregnant and monitored by the tracking system. There are significantly different patterns in behavior around the parturition. After parturition they show recurrence behavior toward one point in the forest, while they have irregular patterns in moving before. To calculate the home range size, the MCP (minimum convex polygon) and Kernel Method are applied through the extension of ESRI ArcView GIS 3.2a. The pregnant female captured 9th May 2012 has the size of MCP=67ha and Kernel 95%=0.5ha and the pregnant female captured 12th July 2012 has the size of MCP=82ha and Kernel 95%=0.9ha. Although a fawn could move immediately just after the birth likely others to avoid any risks, they stay at very narrow space significantly, and the size become wider when more time goes by. Furthermore, they mainly have a home range away from human activity area such as forest tracking roads. The habitat environment for the parturition is summarized as 40years old cryptomeria forests with new sprouting shrubs for foods, which are the controlled forest through the thinning and removing shrubs 2 years ago. This means that forest works could cause positive results for the parturition and survival of young. The period of parturition is earlier than highland in Jeju Island, the size of home range is narrower than other countries, and the habitat environment of the shelter for a fawn is similar to previous research in other countries.

난대림에 서식하는 노루(Capreolus pygargus)의 생태 연구 일환으로 제주도에 위치한 국립산림과학원 난대·아열대산림연구소 제주시험림에서 실시하였다. 노루의 행동권과 서식환경을 파악하기 위해 2012년 4월 24일부터 수컷 3마리, 암컷 3마리의 노루를 포획한 후 GPS-CDMA 기반 추적기를 목에 부착하여 방사하였다. 암컷 중 2마리는 임신한 상태였으며 서귀포시 남원읍 한남리에 위치한 시험림에서 포획 및 관찰하였다. 암노루의 위치 추적을 통해 출산 전에는 불규칙인 이동이 관찰되다가 출산 후 일정한 지점으로 되돌아오는 규칙성을 보인다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 행동권 분석은 ESRI ArcView GIS 3.2a의 MCP(minimum convex polygon)와 Kernel Method를 사용하였다. 5월 9일에 포획한 암노루는 MCP=67ha, Kernel 95%=0.5ha이고 7월 12일에 포획한 암노루는 MCP=82ha, Kernel 95%=0.9ha로 확인되었다. 행동권 면적 변화를 살펴보면, 출산직후 새끼노루와 암노루는 위험노출을 줄이기 위해 타 동물들처럼 즉시 이동할 수 있음에도 대단히 좁은 지역에서 한동안 머물다 시간이 경과함에 따라 점차 행동권을 점차 넓혀가는 경향을 보였다. 암노루는 사람출입이 잦은 탐방로의 반대방향으로 주로 이동하였다. 암노루가 출산한 지역은 40년생 삼나무가 식재된 인공림으로 2010년 숲가꾸기를 통해 삼나무를 제외한 하층식생이 제거되었다가 현재는 먹이자원이 되는 새로운 관목이 우거진 곳이었다. 이러한 결과는 산림시업이 노루의 출산과 어린새끼의 생존에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 의미이다. 난대림에서 암노루의 출산 시기는 제주도 내 높은 고도에서보다 다소 빨랐으며 행동권 면적은 다른 국가의 선행연구에 비해 좁게 나타났고 새끼를 숨기는 은신처의 서식환경은 다른 나라에서 연구된 보고와 비슷하였다.
