1992 December, SM Biliński, T Szklarzewicz, “The ovary of Catajapyx aquilonaris (Insecta, Entognatha): ultrastructure of germarium and terminal filament”, in Zoomorphology, volume 112:
Such ovarioles are secondarily devoid of nurse cells, but usually retain some traces of original meroism (eg germ cell clusters, intercellular bridges) (Pritsch and Brining 1989).
2013 January, RB Ahmed, S Tekaya, K Małota, P Świątek, “An ultrastructural study of the ovary cord organization and oogenesis in Erpobdella johanssoni (Annelida, Clitellata: Hirudinida)”, in Micron, volume 44:
The presence of two cell categories (nurse cell and oocytes) suggests ovary meroism in Clitellata.
2015, AZ Urbisz, Ł Chajec, P Świątek, “The Ovary of Tubifex tubifex (Clitellata, Naididae, Tubificinae) Is Composed of One, Huge Germ-Line Cyst that Is Enriched with Cytoskeletal Components”, in PloS one:
We regard these two morphologically different types of germ cells as nurse cells and oocytes (for ultrastructural details and discussion about possible ovary meroism in T. Tubifex see [27]).
2020 April 24, Rickey Cothran, Martin Thiel, The Natural History of the Crustacea: Reproductive Biology: Volume VI, Oxford University Press, USA, →ISBN, page 36:
Meroistic ovaries of crustaceans are not as advanced in "meroism" as ovaries of certain insects. It is well established that in insect meroistic ovaries, nurse cells are highly polyploid and provide the oocyte with a variety of macromolecules, including proteins and different classes of RNAs […]
2023 December 25, Malgorzata Kloc, Ahmed Uosef, Syncytia: Origin, Structure, and Functions, Springer Nature, →ISBN, page 31:
... meroism is intrinsically adaptive—a superior mode of oogenesis. Such a view would be tenuous, however, as acystic oogenesis is used by some of the most successful insects on the planet, in terms of population size and geographic […]
