Today, we did chromatography with various plants today- native AZ plants, yellow plants, purple plants in order to ascertain their pigments, absorption, and cholrophyll. Interestingly, we found out that raddichio was treated rather harshly and thus, has its white- bleached like color has no more chlorophyll. It was at this point that I started making connections with my previous studies on folivory and howler monkeys behavioral adaptations to a diet rich in mature leaves. It was a conversation that sparked and renewed my previous interest in my undergraduate honor's thesis that had me perform a comparative study on three primate folivores. We also found out that we could each take back 2 vials of GFP each!
