Table 1 Number of trait × hybrid population measures supporting each of our three (transgressive, intermediate, or conserved) possible outcomes. For both gut and skin microbiota, we consider 7 diversity traits in each of our 2 hybrid populations (i.e., 14 traits × hybrid population measures), 4 composition traits in each of our 2 hybrid populations (i.e., 8 traits × hybrid population measures), and 2 microbial abundance traits in each of our 2 hybrid populations (i.e., 4 traits × hybrid population measures). Percentages of trait × hybrid population measures for each outcome for each category (i.e., diversity, composition, and microbial abundance) are shown in parentheses
