Schematic overview of experimental design, host use analyses, and expectations according to the ‘metabolic generalism’ and ‘multi-host metabolic specialism’ hypotheses.

In order to investigate whether different food sources were treated similarly or differently by a generalist species, we followed a simple experimental procedure (A), where eggs of a single founder …

(A) The ten largest intersections between all metabolomes comprise many high-degree intersections, including ions shared between all fruit and all flies’ samples (#1), ions, shared between all flies …

Figure 3 with 1 supplement
Relationships between ions respectively found in fruits and flies, according to their degree of intersection.

Ions that are shared within fruits or within flies show a higher degree of intersection. Most ions found in flies are found in all flies, but not necessarily in all fruits. It is also noteworthy …

Figure 3—figure supplement 1
Fruits and flies’ metabolomes cluster separately and do not form pairs.

Fruit and fly samples in this overall principal component analysis (PCA) are represented by dots and triangles, respectively. Colors represent different fruits or diets in the case of flies. All …

Flies’ metabolomes differ according to diet.

Flies’ samples only were included in this principal component analysis (PCA). Differently oriented triangles indicate biological replicates (fly generations). (A) Dimensions 1 and 2; (B) Dimensions …

Heatmap scale colors indicate the relative quantity of each ion (row) of the ‘large’ list of diet-specific ions (specificity indicated by discrete colors; see main text for details).
