Odorants were diluted in mineral oil to concentrations theoretically emitting vapor-phase partial pressures of 1.0, 0.1, or 0.01 Pa as indicated; consequently, odorants with different vapor pressures were diluted to correspondingly different extents in the liquid phase. Vol/vol dilutions in mineral oil to 1.0 Pa are shown for the data contributing to Figures 3C,D; dilutions for Figures 3A,B are presented in (Cleland et al., 2009). Odorants used as conditioning odorants are denoted in boldface; for Figure 3C, the conditioning odorant was a mixture of the two boldface odorants in each odor set (with 50:50 or variable mixture ratios of the two diluted odorants as described in that study).
