Habitat range and thermal conditions of barred surfperch. (a) Pacific coastline in North America with an inset of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties (white) in California, U.S. Red diamond marks Naples Kelp Forest, a temperature monitoring site (data in b and c; Santa Barbara Coastal Long Term Ecological Research program107; coord: 34.42388, −119.95053), and fish collection site (Haskell’s Beach; 34.430767, −119.916717). Collection site was approximately 2 km from the temperature logger. (b) Recorded temperatures from May to September across years 2001–2021 with marked ecologically relevant temperatures (12, 16, 20, 22 °C). (c) Recorded temperatures across 8 h presenting examples for selected acute temperature change treatments (shaded grey: temperatures change from 16 °C at a green line to 20 °C (n = 9; pink line) and to 12 °C (n = 9; blue line) at an average rate of 2 °C h−1).
