DIONYSUS CULT AS A PROTOTYPE OF AUTONOMOUS GENDER by O. O. Poliakova, V. V. Asotskyi

“…The achievement of this goal involves, firstly, the "archeology" of telestic madness and orgasm as the liberating states the comprehension of their semantic potential for the outlook of the Dionysian neophyte, and secondly, to identify the features that are likened to the cult community of Dionysus to an autonomous gender and, thirdly, to characterize the metamorphosis of the Dionysian imagery in the postmodern consciousness. …”

Identification and Expression Profiling of the BTB Domain-Containing Protein Gene Family in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori by Daojun Cheng, Wenliang Qian, Meng Meng, Yonghu Wang, Jian Peng, Qingyou Xia

“…Furthermore, several silkworm BTB protein genes exhibited sex-specific expression in larval tissues or at different stages during metamorphosis. These findings not only contribute to a better understanding of the evolution of insect BTB protein gene families but also provide a basis for further investigation of the functions of BTB protein genes in the silkworm.…”

Embryonic, Larval, and Early Juvenile Development of the Tropical Sea Urchin, Salmacis sphaeroides (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) by M. Aminur Rahman, Fatimah Md. Yusoff, A. Arshad, Mariana Nor Shamsudin, S. M. N. Amin

“…Pluteus larva started to feed unicellular algae in 2 d, grew continuously, and finally attained metamorphic competence in 35 d after fertilization. Metamorphosis took approximately 1 h 30 min from attachment to the complete resorption of larval tissues and the development of complete juvenile structure with adult spines, extended tubefeet and well-developed pedicellaria, the whole event of which usually took place within 1 d postsettlement. …”

Impact of fluoxetine exposure on Lymnaea stagnalis and its developing eggs: integrating untargeted lipidomics, targeted metabolomics, and classical risk assessment by Diana Ilyaskina, Yumi Nakadera, Yumi Nakadera, Marja H. Lamoree, Joris M. Koene, Pim E. G. Leonards

“…Additionally, a decrease in histamine in both the albumen gland and eggs suggested further disruption of egg development, potentially affecting metamorphosis success. Moreover, the dose-dependent increase in choline, along with PC and oxidized PC, indicated oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in the CNS and exposed eggs of Lymnaea stagnalis. …”
