“…The term of grassland forager was changed to open-land forager (OF), because these ants do not restrictively forage in grassland, but prefer foraging over open land, such as grasslands, forest gaps, and forest edges, compared to dark forest interior. In Korea, the OF ants are Formica japonica, Camponotus japonicus, and Tetramorium tsushimae (Kwon et al 2011b;Kwon et al 2012;Lee and Kwon 2013). In Kwon's classification, Lasius japonicus was FVF, but this species is OF rather than FVF, because the species foraged more frequently in forest gaps than in forests, in five places (T-SK, unpublished data).…”

“…The present study was aimed to find the process of the decrease in ant diversity by analyzing ant functional guilds. Four functional guilds (two disturbance-tolerant and two disturbance-intolerant guilds) were devised for Korean ants, according to the main foraging habitats of ants Lee and Kwon 2013). These guilds can be useful for analyzing the characteristics of ant communities in northern Asia such as north China and Japan as evidenced by the present study.…”

Background: Disturbance is one of the main causes for determining diversity of natural communities. A 3-year (2003 to 2005) monitoring of ant communities at a Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site in South Korea revealed a drop of ant diversity due to a forest disturbance which was evidenced by decrease of leaf area index (LAI) associated with the dropping of tree branches. In order to determine the process of the decrease in diversity, we compared the annual change of functional ant guilds, which are composed of forest ground foragers (FGF), forest vegetation foragers (FVF), soil and litter dwellers (SLD), and open-land foragers (OF). Results: Four functional guilds of ants responded differently to the forest disturbance; FGF and SLD decreased, but OF and FVF increased. Species richness decreased, due to the decrease in SLD, and species evenness decreased mainly due to a sudden increase in an OF species, Formica japonica. Based on these findings, a mechanism is proposed for the decrease in ant diversity after the forest disturbance.

“…Plants and animals have frequently experienced local extinction in urban area due to habitat loss, habitat degradation, and fragmentation (McKinney 2002;Clark et al 2007). Studies on the effects of urbanization on biodiversity in urban areas compared with rural areas have shown different species compositions and less abundance of organisms: e.g., mammals (George and Crooks 2006), amphibians (Osawa and Katsuno 2005;Hamer and McDonnell 2008), birds (Motegi and Yanai 2005;Rubèn and Ian 2009), ground beetles (Niemelä et al 2002;Lee and Ishii 2009;Lee and Kwon 2013), ants (Yamaguchi 2005;Lee and Kwon 2013), and butterflies (Imai 2004;Lee and Kwon 2012;Bergerot et al 2011).…”

Background: Urbanization is one of the leading causes of habitat loss, habitat degradation, and fragmentation. Urban development negatively affects biodiversity. We clarified changes in butterfly communities due to urbanization in urban green areas. Results: In total, 59 species and 1,465 individuals of butterflies were observed in the four urban green areas -Namsan Park (NS), Ewha Womans University (EW), Bukseoul Dream Forest (BD), and Hongneung Forest (HF) -and a natural forest, Gwangneung Forest (GF). The categories of land use around the study sites were determined based on GIS data. Species richness and density of niche breadth and habitat type in the four urban green areas differed mostly from those in GF. Estimated species richness and species diversity (H') in the four urban green areas were significantly lower than those in GF. Species richness and density of forest interior species and specialist species were positively correlated with paddy, field, and forest, whereas those of forest interior species and specialists were negatively correlated with urban area and road. Species composition and community structure of butterflies in the four urban were differed from those in GF.

“…In the comparisons between survey regions, the numbers of species and individuals of Coleoptera were relatively higher at SGP sites, but Orthoptera and Hymenoptera (mainly ants) were relatively higher at JJ sites. This result is similar to the community characteristics of ants (Formicidae) and ground beetles (Carabidae) in the Gwangneung Forest and Hongneung Forest (Lee & Kwon ). Lee and Kwon () found that ants of Hongneung Forest with relatively high environmental artificiality were much more abundant than those of the Gwangneung Forest with low environmental artificiality, but the opposite was found for ground beetles.…”

In this study, the numbers of species and individuals of Carabids were abundant at SGP sites with a high proportion of natural grassland (45–53%), but ants were more abundant at JJ sites with a high proportion of farmland (81–84%).…”

Granite‐derived soils are widespread in the farmland of Korea in general. In contrast, Jeju Island has mainly volcanic ash soils. Soils and weather condition in Jeju Island created a unique agricultural system. We identified the features of ground‐dwelling insects in farmlands of Jeju Island. This study was conducted in four areas (Samdal‐ri and Susan‐ri in Seogwipo city, and Dongmyeong‐ri and Suwon‐ri in Jeju city) in Jeju Island, Korea. Field surveys were carried out twice in summer (June) and autumn (September) in 2013. Ground‐dwelling insects were sampled quantitatively by using pitfall traps. As a result, in total 3322 individuals, 137 species, 48 families and 8 orders were investigated in farmlands of Jeju Island. Especially, members of Coleoptera and Hymenoptera accounted for a large proportion of ground‐dwelling insect communities. The numbers of species and individuals for major taxonomic groups showed significant regional and seasonal differences. This study implied that the seasonal and regional differences of ground‐dwelling insect communities were affected by surrounding land use patterns, life history patterns of each taxonomic group and farmland management.
