  1. Paraledone octopus

    Pareledone is a genus of octopus found only in Antarctic waters. These seafloor dwellers live in shallow water and as deep as 4,000 metres. Genetic analysis found that distinct populations from the Weddell, Amundsen and Ross seas interbred 125,000 years ago, showing that the West Antarctic ice sheet melted during the last #interglacial, a time with climate conditions much like today.

  4. Scientists, including from British Antarctic Survey, have used #octopus #DNA to discover that the West #Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) likely collapsed during the Last #Interglacial period around 120,000 years ago – when the global temperatures were similar to today.

  5. "With each flip from a glacial to an #interglacial #climate there have been sudden, sharp rises in atmospheric #methane, likely from expanding tropical #wetlands.

    These great climate flips that ended each #IceAge are known as #terminations.

    Full terminations take several thousands of years to complete."

    "A subpolar species associated with #Atlantic water expanded far into the #Arctic Ocean during the #LastInterglacial, analysis of #microfossil content of #SedimentCores reveals. This implies that summers in the #Arctic were ice free during this period."
