In the same exact way as the speed of supercomputers is effected by the research and effort of the Easter Bunny.
 
Trout have evolved to live in mountain rivers at a certain temperature. Now with the air getting hotter, each drop of rain which gets to the river might carry another whole degree of heat energy - and that changes how fish eggs develop - determines whether they hatch at all. Also the warming of the rivers affects the life cycle of the fish entirely - fosters the rise of new fish parasites.

Butterflies - I haven't ever studied.
