Sustaining olfaction at low salinities: mapping ion flux associated with the olfactory sensilla of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus

To test the hypothesis of a diffusion-generated, ionic/osmotic microenvironment within the olfactory sensilla (aesthetases), flux gradients of Ca<sup>2+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup> associated with the external surfaces of these sensilla were spatially mapped using self-referencin...
