(A,C) Sparse partial least squares regression (sPLSDA) classification of bats in each diet pre-infection (day −2, D−2) based on metabolites in rectal swabs (A) and plasma (C). Each point represents an individual bat. (B,D) Loadings of metabolites from first two axes of the sPLSDA (PC1, PC2) for rectal swabs (B) and plasma (D). Each point represents a metabolite (shape- and colour-coded per legend). AA, amino acids; SCFAs, short-chain fatty acids; TCA, tricarboxylic acid cycle ; FMN, flavin mononucleotide; BPG, bisphosphoglycerate; NDP-sugar, nucleoside diphosphate-sugars; GlcN, glucosamine
