Abstract Climate change may exacerbate the impact of invasive parasites from warmer climates through pre‐existing temperature adaptations. We investigated impacts on two closely related marine parasitic copepod species that share blue mussel ( Mytilus edulis ) as host: Mytilicola orientalis has invaded system a climate <20 years ago, whereas its established congener intestinalis had >90 to adapt. In laboratory experiments with temperatures 10–26°C, covering current and future well heat waves, development both life cycle stages accelerated increasing temperature. stages, growth invader increased evenly 10°C 22°C, recent barely grew at all faster already 18°C. contrast, little effect transition success between stages. However, highest (26°C) limited egg host entry species, infection 18°C 22°C. general, our indicate main is speed not stage success. Based regional long‐term data predictions, numbers completed cycles per year will increase for parasites. The seems better adapted low (around 10°C), more develops these but can cope in high 26°C). Hence, adaptations allow waves.
