Milk lipidome evolution. a Dendrogram showing the phylogenetic relationship among seven mammalian species used in the study. Colored dots indicate species, with colors used consistently throughout figures. Colored frames indicate three groups: primate (red), artiodactyla (blue), and bovidae (green). b The relationship among milk samples based on the signal intensities of 472 detected lipid features plotted in two dimensions using a multidimensional scaling algorithm. Colors represent species. Small dots represent individual milk samples. Large dots represent pools of samples from one species. c The relationship between lipid-intensity-based distances between species pairs and phylogenetic distances
