1. Both the clearance rates (CR) and abundances of the freshwater spongeEphydatia muelleriand the bryozoansPlumatella emarginataandFredericella sultanawere investigated from autumn to spring under different temperature regimes. The experiments were performed in bypass channels of the River Rhine (Cologne, Germany) in which temperature could be manipulated.2. The impact of temperature increase on CRs depends upon the grazer:E. muellerishowed a clear increase in CRs with increasing temperature whereasP. emarginatawas not significantly affected by experimental warming.3. Distinct differences in food preference were found for the sponge (which is an efficient grazer of bacteria and small algae) and for the bryozoanP. emarginata(which feeds primarily on large algae, and with no significant grazing on bacteria).4. In contrast to their temperature‐related patterns in CR, respiration of bothP. emarginataandE. muelleriincreased with temperature between 19 and 32 °C, suggesting that the risk of experiencing energy deficiency at high temperatures due to increased metabolic rates is particularly high for the bryozoan.5. A temperature elevation of 3 °C above the natural Rhine temperature resulted in a delay in the disappearance of active tissue and formation of resting stages forE. muelleriin autumn. This delay ranged from 8 (beginning of gemmulation) to 22 days (termination of gemmulation). In contrast, there was no distinct effect of warming on the disappearance of active zooids of the two bryozoan species in autumn. However, warming can positively affect the maintenance of active zooids during winter inF. sultana. In spring, the appearance of active zooids ofP. emarginatawas clearly stimulated by temperature elevations, whereas the hatching of bothF. sultanaandE. muelleriwas hardly affected by warming.6. The study demonstrated different patterns in the thermal ecology of the two freshwater bryozoans and the sponge in comparison to other filter feeders, particularly mussels. Such patterns need to be considered when predicting the impact of temperature on pelagic‐benthic coupling in aquatic habitats.
