Mean species number per sample (+SD, n = 12) of epibionts, epi- and endobenthic organisms occurring in epibenthic mussel beds (beds of M. edulis in Germany and mixed beds of P. purpuratus and M. chilensis in Chile) and endobenthic mussel beds (beds of M. senhousia in South Korea and X. inconstans in Australia) compared to tidal flats without mussel aggregations
