Mean (SE) byssal thread counts (a), attachment strength (b), and proportion of four failure locations (c) in individuals of Brachidontes rodriguezii from a natural platform of loess cemented by calcium carbonate (soft rock, white bars) and a groin made of orthoquartzite blocks (hard rock, grey bars), both sampled in April 2018 and located within the same site (Copacabana; n = 33 for mussel attachment strength, n = 15 for all the other variables)
