This is a simply written account of some of the most complex and fascinating mysteries ever to have confronted mankind. How did life on earth originate? How did we come to inhabit the planet in the company of such a bewildering array of plant and animals? Why did the dinosaurs grow so large? How are new species formed?

A decade ago, climate change was neither a buzz word nor a cause for concern. Today, it is an important focus of research. As our understanding of ecological processes deepens, those processes that superficially appear to be far removed from vertebrate–plant interactions may actually have considerable impact through direct or indirect effects. This talk will detail the various ways in which contemporary climate change could affect interactions between plants and vertebrates. Since plant-animal interactions are an order removed from the impact of climate change on plants and animals taken singly, it is necessary to document first-order and then higher-order effects if any predications need to be made about the future of plant-animal interactions under such changing scenarios. First-order effects depend on the spectrum of variability in past climates that plants and animals have been exposed to and thus on the ghost of adaptation past. Higher-order effects will therefore be built from combined adaptabilities. This talk will attempt to connect the impact of climate change on phytosociology, physiognomy, physiology, and plant chemistry and to link these effects to the processes of herbivory, pollination, seed dispersal, and seedling establishment, and thereby to the future of such interactions. This presentation will span examples from specialised to more generalized systems and also attempt a community approach.
