Changes in the invertebrate fauna of a California rocky intertidal community between the period 1931 to 1933 and the period 1993 to 1994 indicate that species' ranges shifted northward, consistent with predictions of change associated with climate warming. Of 45 invertebrate species, the abundances of eight of nine southern species increased and the abundances of five of eight northern species decreased. No trend was evident for cosmopolitan species. Annual mean shoreline ocean temperatures at the site increased by 0.75 degrees C during the past 60 years, and mean summer maximum temperatures from 1983 to 1993 were 2.2 degrees C warmer than for the period 1921 to 1931.
1931 年至 1933 年期间和 1993 年至 1994 年期间，加利福尼亚岩石潮间带无脊椎动物区系的变化表明，物种的分布范围向北移动，这与气候变暖相关变化的预测一致。在 45 种无脊椎动物中，9 种南部物种中有 8 种的丰度增加，8 种北部物种中有 5 种的丰度减少。世界性物种则没有明显的趋势。在过去的 60 年中，该地点的年度平均海岸线海洋温度上升了 0.75 摄氏度，而 1983 年至 1993 年的夏季最高温度比 1921 年至 1931 年的温度高 2.2 摄氏度。
