 note = {The International Polar Year 2007-2008 (IPY) has provided an opportunity for biology to show itself as an important part of Antarctic science in a manner in which it was not seen during earlier Polar Years. Of the 15 endorsed biological projects in Antarctica, 7 included more than 20 scientists and could be deemed truly international. Four were conducted in the marine environment, and one each in the fields of biological invasions, microbial ecology, and terrestrial ecology, and one was SCAR's over-arching `Evolution and Biodiversity in the Antarctic'. The marine projects have left a robust legacy of data for future research into the consequences of environmental change, and into future decisions about marine protected areas. Studies on introductions of exotic organisms reveal an ever-present threat to the warmer parts of the high-latitude Southern Ocean, or parts which might become warmer with climate change. Studies on microbial ecology reveal great complexity of ecosystems with high numbers of unknown species. Terrestrial research has shown how vulnerable the Antarctic is to accidental introductions, and how productive the soils can be under changed climate conditions. Antarctic biology has come-of-age during IPY 2007-2008 and the campaign has set the scene for future research., 国際極年2007-2008年(IPY)は、南極のサイエンスにおいて生物学の重要性を示す絶好の機会となった。IPYで推薦された南極域の生物学プロジェクトの7課題は国際プロジェクトであり、その4課題は海洋生物分野、他に生物学的な侵入、微生物生態学、陸上生態学の分野であった。また、包括的な「南極域における進化と生物多様性」プロジェクトであった。国際極年2007-2008年を通して、これらのプロジェクトは将来の環境変動への南極の生物の応答を理解するための確固たる遺産を残した。まさしく南極生物学は機が熟し、将来の研究野「基礎を確立した。},
