A exportación de samesugas para uso médico por parte dos franceses foi tan intensa na década de 1820 en Galicia (especialmente na lagoa de Antela) que no ano 1827 o Goberno estableceu a veda da súa pesca durante os meses de marzo, abril e maio #histodon #leeches #historiaeconomica https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/medical-history/article/spanishfrench-leech-trade-and-its-consequences-from-the-increase-in-medical-demand-to-resource-depletion-and-technical-innovation/36806B69AC6A2B5DBD9E6E9DE0E3E5E9

A lagoa de Antela, espazo destruido polo franquismo, foi un lugar moi relevante no comercio internacional de samesugas para uso médico. Desde este importante humedal desenvolveuse unha grande exportación destes anélidos a Francia durante a primeira metade do século XIX #leeches #histodon #antela #historiaeconomica #historia https://www.cambridge.org/core/blog/2024/12/16/spanish-french-leech-trade-and-its-consequences-from-the-increase-in-medical-demand-to-resource-depletion-and-technical-innovation/

First conclusive video evidence that a terrestrial #leech species can jump https://phys.org/news/2024-06-conclusive-video-evidence-terrestrial-leech.html

"this is the first convincing evidence that #leeches can jump and do so with visible energy expenditure... There have been previous accounts of leeches jumping, but those were often explained away as leeches just attaching to passerby as they brushed against shrubs or dropping from a branch. This study dispels that argument."
