This study investigates the thermal tolerance and vulnerability to climate warming of two important freshwater shrimp species with contrasting ecological preferences, Atyaephyra desmarestii and Caridina multidentata. Critical thermal maximum (CTMax) was assessed for different acclimation temperatures that cover the current summer range for both species, as well as for populations from different geographical origins for A. desmarestii.
