Principal Component Analyses of biological fluid c-miRNAs. PCAs were centered but not scaled and computed from normalized miRNAs counts (RPM) supplied by Prost!. Ellipses represent 95% confidence intervals and were drawn for conditions represented by at least three individuals. Points are samples named under the following pattern: “Fluid_Reproductive stage_feeding_replicate.” The value for “Fluid” is either the blood plasma (P) or the ovarian fluid (OF). The following reproductive stages were analyzed: pre-vitellogenesis (PV), early vitellogenesis (EV), and ovulation (OV). The feeding level was either ad libitum (al) or restricted (r). Corresponding data are available in Additional file 4. A PCA of all 10 blood plasma and 4 ovarian fluid samples. B PCA using only the blood plasma samples (n=10) collected at the three different reproductive stages
