Table 1. Morphometric information on identified olfactory sensilla of Drosophila melanogaster.

Values are means ± s.e.m. Empty sensilla which do not house any neurons are denoted by (0). abx: novel basiconic sensillum, and the numbers of compartmentalized neurons are indicated in parentheses. Detailed information regarding how individual sensilla were identified and their respective source data sets can be found in the Table 1—source data 1 and Figure 1—source data 1 files.
