“…This unusual position of the ovarioles within the body cavity of Tinearia is the result of the peculiar location, size and function of the oviduct calyx (for details see: Mazurkiewicz and Kubrakiewicz, 1998). There is no doubt, however, that the longitudinal axes of ovarioles in all dipteran ovaries are homologous.…”

“…During early stages of oogenesis they considerably grow and occupy a large portion of the egg chamber. These nurse cells function definitely longer and are eliminated much later than those of craneflies (Mazurkiewicz and Kubrakiewicz, 2001). Since the FCs do not invade the germ cell compartment, the micropylar plate is formed at the anteriormost pole of the egg chamber, with no direct contact with the oocyte.…”

“…Moreover, the formation of cystocyte clusters precedes the appearance of ovarioles (for details of ovary development in Tinearia see: Koch, 1929;Mazurkiewicz and Kubrakiewicz, 1998). In the larval gonad, the clusters of dividing germ cells become invested by a simple somatic epithelium and thus form the egg chambers (Fig.…”

“…In other groups (e.g. Psychodomorpha) the oocyte growth depends largely on the transcriptional activity of the prominent, highly polyploid nurse cells, which function until the final stages of oogenesis (Mazurkiewicz and Kubrakiewicz, 2001). Our contemporary knowledge on FCs differentiation pathways in Nematocera is mainly based on the studies of the representatives of Polyneura.…”

Embryological research at the University of Wroclaw covers hormonal control of metamorphosis, primarily invertebrate embryology and gametogenesis, vertebrate myogenesis and the developmental impact of external factors. Developmental studies at the University of Wroclaw are a continuation of those conducted at the former Jan Kazimierz (Johannes Casimirus) University in Lwow before World War II. The Wroclaw embryological school is best characterized as comparative embryology which approaches embryonic development experimentally as well as through the analysis of its natural diversity.

Although all dipteran species have ovaries of the same meroistic-polytrophic type, the structure of individual ovarian follicles (egg chambers) as well as the course of oogenesis in major dipteran taxa are highly diversified and often significantly different from the widely known Drosophila model. In this report we present results of the morphological studies of the ovary structure in the representatives of three families of lower brachycerans (Orthorrhapha) and compare them with the present knowledge of the processes that lead to the formation of a mature egg cell in the model dipteran, the cyclorrhaphan fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The most conspicuous and developmentally significant differences between Drosophila and lower brachycerans were found in the events that accompany the differentiation and diversification of somatic follicular cells. Our observations indicate that the directed migrations of some follicular cells within the egg chamber and the ability of border cells to invade the nurse cell compartment can be considered as evolutionary novelties that evolved in the ancestors of higher brachycerans.
