초록

도로상에서 차량 충돌에 의해 죽는 동물을 의미하는 로드킬(Roadkill)은 다양한 동물 개체군 크기를 감소시키는 요인으로 작용하고 있으며, 도로가 잘 발달한 도시지역은 물론 국립공원과 같은 보호지역에서도 척추동물의 사망을 유발하는 가장 큰 인위적인 원인으로 알려져 있다. 생태계 안정성을 위해 매우 중요한 분류군인 뱀류 로드킬이 국가 생물다양성과 생태계 다양성의 주축인 국립공원 지역에서 빈번하게 발생하고 있음에도 불구하고 이에 대한 연구는 매우 부족한 상태이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 2006년부터 2015년 사이 6개 국립공원 내 도로에서 발생한 뱀류 로드킬 현황을 조사, 연구하였다. 그 결과, 총 10종 736건의 로드킬이 조사되었으며, 유혈목이(Rhabdophis lateralis), 누룩뱀(Elaphe dione), 쇠살모사(Gloydius ussuriensis), 능구렁이(Lycodon rufozonatus), 살모사(Gloydius brevicaudus) 5종이 전체의 91.7%를 차지하고 있었다. 섭식유형별로는 먹이를 찾아다닐 것으로 예상되는 활동형 뱀류의 로드킬이 더 빈번하게 발생하였고, 월별로는 어린 개체가 분산하는 8월과 동면지로 이동하는 9월에 고도 100~799 m 사이에 위치한 산림-도로-수계나 산림-도로-산림 환경조건에서 주로 발생하였다. 이러한 결과들은 국립공원 내 도로에서 뱀류의 로드킬 경향 파악과 효율적인 로드킬 저감 방안과 각종 정책 수립에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The roadkill that animals die after bumping by vehicles on the roads is acting as a factor to decrease the size of various animal populations. It has also been known to be the biggest artificial causations of Vertebrata deaths not only in urban areas but also protected areas such as national parks. Nevertheless, in the national park areas which are major protected national areas for conservation of national biodiversity and ecological diversity, snake roadkills occur frequently. Up to date, related studies are rare. Therefore, in this study, we described snake roadkill patterns on the roads in six national parks between 2006 and 2015. We identified total 736 snake roadkills compromising 10 different species. Five species, Rhabdophis lateralis, Elaphe dione, Gloydius ussuriensis, Lycodon rufozonatus, Gloydius brevicaudus occupied more than 91.7% of total roadkill cases. Active forager snakes were killed by roadkills more than ambush foragers, and the snake roadkill frequency was the highest in September, a migration period and in August when the young individuals dispersed at between 100 and 799 m altitude areas. Roads where roadkills were frequent lie between forest and hydrosphere or between forest and crop field road sides. Our results could be used to identify the trend of snake roadkills on the roads in national parks, and to establish effective roadkill mitigation measures and policies.
