What is Function of Zebra Stripes Explained about?
Zebra stripes have long puzzled scientists but their function has never been systematically examined. This study analyzed variation in striping patterns across equid species and subspecies in relation to environmental variables to test five hypotheses for zebra stripes. Results provided strong support for the hypothesis that zebra stripes function to deter biting flies like tsetse flies and tabanid flies, with several striping traits correlating with regions of higher biting fly activity and distributions.
