Paik Kap Yong
Paik Kap Yong (, 1914 - 1996) was a South Korean arachnologist. Life He was born in Daegu, Korea, Empire of Japan in 1914, and had his secondary schooling in Daegu and then in Kyoto, Japan. In 1941, he became a graduate of the Department of Agriculture at Miyazaki High School of Agriculture and Forestry in Japan. On his return to Korea in 1941, he first worked at the Entomology Department at the Suwon Agricultural Research Institute, and then as a secondary school teacher. In 1945 he became an assistant professor at Suwon Agricultural College, which was followed in 1946 by working as a technician in the Pathology Entomology Department at the Suwon Central Agricultural Research and Extension Services. In 1948 he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. After spending about 10 years recovering, he became a lecturer at the Department of Science Education at Kyungpook National University Kyungpook National University (; abbreviated as KNU or Kyungdae ()) is one of ten Flagship Kore ...

Linyphiidae
Linyphiidae, spiders commonly known as sheet weavers (from the shape of their webs), or money spiders (in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Portugal) is a family of very small spiders comprising 4706 described species in 620 genera worldwide. This makes Linyphiidae the second largest family of spiders after the Salticidae. The family is poorly understood due to their small body size and wide distribution; new genera and species are still being discovered throughout the world. The newest such genus is '' Himalafurca'' from Nepal, formally described in April 2021 by Tanasevitch. Since it is so difficult to identify such tiny spiders, there are regular changes in taxonomy as species are combined or divided. Money spiders are known for drifting through the air via a technique termed " ballooning". Within the agriculture industry, money spiders are regarded as biological control agents against pest species like aphids and springtails. Description In Linyphiid ...

Endemic Fauna Of Korea
Endemism is the state of a species being found only in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the Cape sugarbird is found exclusively in southwestern South Africa and is therefore said to be ''endemic'' to that particular part of the world. An endemic species can also be referred to as an ''endemism'' or, in scientific literature, as an ''endemite''. Similarly, many species found in the Western ghats of India are examples of endemism. Endemism is an important concept in conservation biology for measuring biodiversity in a particular place and evaluating the risk of extinction for species. Endemism is also of interest in evolutionary biology, because it provides clues about how changes in the environment cause species to undergo range shifts (potentially expanding their range into a larger area or becomin ...

Spiders Of Korea
Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight limbs, chelicerae with fangs generally able to inject venom, and spinnerets that extrude silk. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all orders of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every land habitat. , 53,034 spider species in 136 families have been recorded by taxonomists. However, there has been debate among scientists about how families should be classified, with over 20 different classifications proposed since 1900. Anatomically, spiders (as with all arachnids) differ from other arthropods in that the usual body segments are fused into two tagmata, the cephalothorax or prosoma, and the opisthosoma, or abdomen, and joined by a small, cylindrical pedicel. However, as there is currently neither paleontological nor embryological evidence that spiders ever had a separate th ...
