    Notes: Summary Oocyte-follicle cell gap junctions inTribolium occur in all oogenetic stages studied. During early previtellogenesis the junctions are found exclusively between lateral membranes of oocyte microvilli and the membrane of prefollicle cells. In late previtellogenesis and vitellogenesis the junctions are located between the tips of oocyte microvilli and the flat membranes of the follicle cells. During previtellogenesis gap junctions are infrequent, whereas in the phase of yolk accumulation their number increases considerably, exceeding 17 junctions/μm2 of the follicle cell membrane. It could be shown by microinjection of a fluorescent dye that gap junctions are in a functional state during vitellogenesis. Possible roles of heterologous gap junctions in oogenesis are discussed.

    Notes: Summary All anoplurans live symbiotically with prokaryotic microorganisms hosted in specialized cells, termed mycetocytes. In nymphs and males mycetocytes are distributed between midgut epithelial cells. In females, besides the midgut, mycetocytes are found in the reproductive organs where they are located at the base of ovarioles in contact with lateral oviducts. The mycetocyte-associated symbionts are transmitted from one generation to the next transovarially. Here, the results of histological and ultrastructural studies on the distribution and transmission of symbiotic microorganisms within the ovaries of the anopluranHaematopinus suis are presented. Interestingly, during advanced oogenesis (i.e., choriogenesis) of this species all symbionts are localized extracellularly and form a tight mass located at the posterior pole of the oocyte just below the hydropyle. In insects studied so far, such localization of transovarially transmitted microorganisms has been reported only in the closely related speciesHaematopinus eurysternus.
