Ensatina salamanders secrete a sticky substance from glands in their tail when they are disturbed. We aim to collect such secretions and then I (VCC) will analyze it to determine if it is a peptide. I aim to identify the peptide(s) or other chemical components used in this interesting defensive strategy. There may also be pheromones present used in courtship.
