Ovists

the 17th- and 18th-century biologists who believed that the adult organism is preshaped in microscopic form within the ovum (see ANIMALCULISTS). Ovists reduced the developmental process to one of simple growth. They included the Italian scientists M. Malpighi and A. Vallisnieri and the Swiss scientists C. Bonnet and A. von Haller.
