The biggest differences is those changes occur over thousands if not millions of years thus giving time to species to adapt to new habitats. Many went extinct, but many more arose.
What is devasting is rapid and immediate changes such as an asteroid impact, or volcanic eruption, or humans pumping trillions of tons of co2 while cutting down forests globally within a century.
No, animals have not evolved to strike a balance in anyway, the eco system as a whole, possibly, but not animals on their own.
lol. I guess that's why there are no more viruses and locusts...
Seriously tho, as far as locusts, they literally evolved to do what they do on a regular basis. Still going strong...
