- The study investigates how the gut microbiome of hybrid zebras is influenced by factors like diet, environment, and maternal effects.

- The results support the maternal-effects hypothesis more than other factors, indicating that diet and microbiome composition are closely linked and inherited from mothers in these animal lineages.
