  abstract = {{T}he yellow clam {M}esodesma mactroides is a cool-water species that typifies sandy beaches of the {S}outhwestern {A}tlantic {O}cean ({SAO}), which embraces one of the strongest ocean warming hotspots. {T}he region is influenced by the {R}io de la {P}lata ({R}dl{P}), which represents a zoogeographic barrier that restricts its larval exchange. {W}e investigated yellow clam larval connectivity patterns using an individual based model ({IBM}). {T}he {IBM} combined outputs from a 3{D} hydrodynamic model with a clam submodel that considered salinity-and temperature-dependent mortality for the planktonic larvae. {C}onnectivity across the {R}dl{P} estuary occurred only for larvae released in spring during a strong {L}a {N}in & {SIM};a event. {M}ortality due to freshwater precluded larval transport across the {R}dl{P}, whereas larval mortality induced by warmer waters reduced connectivity, leading to self-recruitment in most areas. {W}arming acceleration in this hotspot could further restrict larval connectivity between populations in the {SAO}, with conservation implications for this threatened species.},
