Climate change is affecting the distribution of species, population dynamics and trophic interactions across a wide range of ecosystems. However, predicting the long-term consequences of contemporary, short-term observations remains a challenge. The ice age transitions during the last millions of years were characterized by similarly rapid and dramatic increases in temperature and linked environmental changes, providing a unique opportunity to assess the long-term consequences of climate changes in natural populations.
