“…An (2010) reviewed the Korean literature and proposed measures for the systematic conservation and management of C.relictus . Lim et al (2013) performed a molecular study of a large larva found in Gwangneung forest in 2010 and on an adult of C.relictus collected in 1990. They identified that the specimens belonged to the same species, while also re-describing the morphology of the larva.…”

An investigation on the habitation of Callipogonrelictus Semenov, 1899 in Gwangneung forest was carried out, where the Korea National Arboretum is located. In an investigation spanning the last eleven years (2007–2017), 22 emergence holes, nine pupal chambers, six adults, and two larvae of C.relictus were identified. In this study, biological information about habitation of C.relictus is provided by comparing and combining the results of this investigation with a survey conducted in Ussurisky Nature Reserve, Russia, in 2015. The distribution is also reviewed to include the Korean Peninsula and a new location of South Korea is added to the distribution for C.relictus.

“…Finally, given the importance of conservation, the genomic study of this critically endangered longhorn beetle is expected to offer useful information for developing an effective conservation strategy. Nevertheless, only a handful number of studies reported the molecular analysis of C. relictus in Korea based on sequencing of the Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) barcode gene from a cerambycid larval species collected and identified from the Gwangneung Forest [ 32 ]. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Callipogon relictus has been published [ 33 ].…”

We estimated the genome size of a relict longhorn beetle, Callipogon relictus Semenov (Cerambycidae: Prioninae)—the Korean natural monument no. 218 and a Class I endangered species—using a combination of flow cytometry and k-mer analysis. The two independent methods enabled accurate estimation of the genome size in Cerambycidae for the first time. The genome size of C. relictus was 1.8 ± 0.2 Gb, representing one of the largest cerambycid genomes studied to date. An accurate estimation of genome size of a critically endangered longhorned beetle is a major milestone in our understanding and characterization of the C. relictus genome. Ultimately, the findings provide useful insight into insect genomics and genome size evolution, particularly among beetles.

“…Molecular studies on C. relictus would allow the inference of the origin and of the systematic relationships among the known populations of the species throughout its distribution area. The Korea National Arboretum performed a COI barcode sequence analysis (Lim et al 2013) and a mitochondrial sequence analysis (Lim et al 2017) using Korean C. relictus. However, as samples from other countries were difficult to obtain, no comparison among populations was performed.…”

“…In 2014, a living male was found. Since then, a total of 16 adults have been recorded from this location, with individuals being found every year (Byun et al 2007;Lim et al 2013Lim et al , 2017Lee et al 2018Lee et al , 2019. In 2017, a living female and eggs were collected from the location and C. relictus was bred in the laboratory.…”

Biodiversity has been declining and extinction rates have been exponentially increasing because of land use changes, invasion of exotic species, nutrient enrichment and climate change. In this scenario, many international networks such as the International Union for the Conservation of Nature have been making efforts to raise conservation awareness and preserve species and their habitats in many countries. The relict longhorn beetle Callipogon relictus Semenov, 1899 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is the largest coleopteran species in the Palearctic region and has a unique distribution compared to its congeneric species. Callipogon relictus has been protected by two Korean laws since it was designated as a Korean Natural Monument and an Endangered Species in 1968 and 2012, respectively. To improve the conservation of this species, ecological and biological data were obtained from studies performed during the last 12 years on its populations in Gwangneung Forest, the fourth UNESCO biosphere reserve in South Korea. Previously scattered distribution records of C. relictus from South Korea from 1932 to 2007 are therefore summarized and ecological features of adults observed during fields studies performed from 2008 to 2019 are presented. Based on the summarized data, we suggest different management measures and conservation efforts to maintain the size of C. relictus populations in South Korea, which can also be further used in the restoration of other endangered insects.
