Our earth has been through many different climate changes since the dinosaur age came to an end; each one seems to affect the animals and plants in the same way each time. As observed in the article "Butterfly Lessons", insect's patterns in particular are the easiest to either trace the flight patterns or in a mosquito's case when it goes dormant for the winter.
She also presents the idea that we live in a very different world than we did 20,000 years ago and now things like non-native species being introduced is very common and hazardous to the ecosystems around us.
