Abstract

This study assessed the ecological and behavioral characteristics of the sika deer from April 2012 to August 2016. To obtain basic information on the behavioral patterns of the sika deer (Cervus nippon) including their annual home range, sika deer wearing GPS tracking collars were released into 1,385 locations at a different altitude around where they had been captured in Songnisan. The released individuals were studied through home range analysis. According to our observations, annual home ranges of the sika deer (n=6) is seen to be $2.24{\pm}1.50km^2$ (t=3.648, p<0.05) of MCP 95% for the entire area of home range and $0.46{\pm}0.31km^2$ (t=3.666, p<0.05)$km^2$ of FK 50% for the home range core area respectively. The annual home ranges of the sika deers by sex were $2.94km^2$ for female and $1.53km^2$ for male. This study is expected to provide basic data for habitat management and ecological study of sika deer and to contribute to the management of wild animals.

본 연구는 속리산국립공원에 재도입 방사된 꽃사슴(n=6)(외래도입종)의 생태 및 행동학적 특징을 밝히기 위하여 2012년 4월부터 2016년 8월까지 수행되었다. 분석된 꽃사슴(Cervus nippon)은 GPS Collar 발신기를 부착하여 포획된 원서식지에 재 방사하였으며, 연구기간 동안 수집된 1,385개의 위치 좌표를 이용하여 연간 행동권, 고도 등 서식지 이용특성을 분석하였다. 속리산국립공원에 재도입된 꽃사슴의 연구결과, 전체 행동권은 MCP 95% $2.24{\pm}1.50km^2$(t=3.648, p<0.05), 핵심구역인 FK 50%에서 $0.46{\pm}0.31km^2$(t=3.666, p<0.05)로 나타났다. 암 수 연간 행동권은 MCP 95% 수준에서 암컷 $1.53km^2$, 수컷은 $2.94km^2$로 분석되었다. 꽃사슴의 서식지 이용 중 고도 400~500m, 경사도 $30^{\circ}{\sim}35^{\circ}$, 향 S(남향)를 평균적으로 이용하였고, 도로와의 거리는 0~100m, 수계와의 거리는 0~50m을 이용하였다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 자료는 외래도입종 꽃사슴에 대한 서식지 관리 정책 및 생태 등의 기초 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
