Recent work projects significant increases in sea surface temperature by the end of the 21st century. The biological consequences of such temperature increases are poorly understood. Study designs using a conservation paleobiology approach combined with sclerochronology methods can provide a powerful framework in which to assess these consequences. This study focuses on the ecological and economically important hard clam,Mercenaria, from modern and fossil settings that grew during climates that were warmer than or comparable to today. We compared lifespans and growth rates (von Bertalanffy k) of modernMercenariaspp. populations to those from the Mid Pliocene Warm Period (MPWP) and early Pleistocene to better understand the influences of temperature on life history. We found that growth rates tend to increase with increasing temperature both through space and time. However, the relationship between lifespan and climate state is not as clear. Further, we observe that mid-to high-latitude individuals seem to be more impacted by changes in climate state than low latitude individuals. We suggest in response to increased seawater temperatures, mid- and high-latitude individuals might experience significant shifts towards faster growth rates whereas low latitude individuals might not see as much change. These findings provide insight to how growth rates and lifespans ofMercenariamight shift in response to future increases in seawater temperature. Understanding such impacts are critical for the development of management strategies and policies for future environmental change.
