ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to freshwater ecosystems by causing increases of average water temperatures, and more frequent and extreme heating events. Freshwater mussels are declining globally, and the distribution of the freshwater pearl mussel (Margeritifera margeritifera) has decreased dramatically over the past century. Even though it is likely that climate change is contributing to the decline of the species, little is known about the specific mechanisms involved. Here, we test how short episodes of water temperatures above the known thermotolerance range affect the survival and growth of the early post parasitic juvenile phase of freshwater pearl mussels. We also test if previous experience with elevated water temperatures can modify survival and growth responses to subsequent high‐temperatures exposure. Mortality was very low in all treatments ( |
