This book will give an overview of insect ovaries, showing the
diversities and the common traits in egg growth processes. The idea
to write this book developed while looking at the flood of
information which appeared in the early 1980s on early pattern
formation in Drosophila embryos. At this time a significant
breakthrough was made in studies of this little fly, combining
molecular biological methods with classical and molecular genetics.
The answers to questions about early pattern formation raised new
questions about the architecture of ovaries and the growth of eggs
within these ovaries. However, by concentrating only on Drosophila
it is not possible to form an adequate picture of what is going on
in insect ovaries, since the enormous diversity found among insects
is not considered sufficiently. Almost forgotten, but the first to
study the architecture of ovaries, was Alexander Brandt writing in
1878 in aber das Ei und seine Bildungsstaette (On the egg and its
organ of development). More than 100 years later, a series of ten
books or more would be required to survey all the serious informa
tion we have today on insect oogenesis. Thus, this book is a
personal selection and personal view on the theme, and the authors
must be excused by all those scientists whose papers could not be
included. The book briefly describes the ectodemes, i. e."
