The present study should be seen as a step in the evolution of the colloidal morphology of phase inversion membranes, which conceptually began with dense polymer films and diverged into the two principal branches skinned and skinless membranes (Figure 1). 

Antennal morphologies that slow the air flow in the vicinity of the sensory hairs, such as pectinate antennae that typically pass only about 10 percent of the approaching air, will distort the flow in a particular way - they will cause spreading (divergence) of the air stream as it approaches an antenna. This distortion of the air means that a small patch of odorant molecules will strike a much larger number of sensory hairs than would be predicted on the basis of the undistorted patch size (Loudon and Davis, unpublished).
