The main theme for the XIIth SCAR (Scient ific Committee on Antarctic Research) biology symposium is "Scale matte rs". From the small molecular scale, through population and large ecosystem scale, biological processes and diversity span all these levels. Understan ding these processes as well past and present patterns of biodiversity are essential for understanding possible threats to Antarctic biology and their impact. With this Symposium we want to focus on understanding biological d istribution and trends as well as adaptation and processes both in the mari ne and terrestrial realm including the human biology. Special attention wil l be paid to multidisciplinary research and how combining insight from diff erent fields can help our understanding of biology in this unique region. A n important aspect of this symposium will focus on the societal impact of A ntarctic biological sciences and how this can be communicated, not only to the general public, but also to policy makers.
