Blood Relatives: Linking Evolutionary History and Conservation of Medicinal Leeches (Hirudo spp.)
ABSTRACT Medicinal leeches of the genus Hirudo are both historically important in medicine and increasingly studied as models in ecology and biomedicine. However, the taxonomy, population structure and evolutionary history of this genus remain partially unresolved.

Innovation Ecosystems in Catalonia: Exploring Location Patterns of High‐Tech Firms
ABSTRACT This paper analyses high‐tech firms' location determinants in Catalonia, Spain, using 2010–2019 firm data, and spatial models to assess spillover and industry‐specific factor effects. Results show that high‐tech firms, especially in services, are clustered in busy, wealthy cities with strong innovation hubs, while non‐high‐tech firms prefer ...

Cross‐Linguistic Suffix Preference: Typological or Cognitive Bias?
Languages can be shaped by pre‐existing cognitive machinery that makes certain properties more processable. Such properties are more frequent across world languages. Most languages prefer suffixes to prefixes for grammatical meanings. Whether such typological bias is shaped by cognitive bias is debated.

Linking Salinity and Precipitation Through Moisture Transport: A Study for the North Atlantic
Abstract Sea surface salinity (SSS) is a key indicator of the ocean–atmosphere freshwater balance and plays a central role in global moisture transport. This study investigates how extreme SSS anomalies in the North Atlantic (NATL) source region indicate atmospheric moisture pathways and precipitation in surrounding continental and island sink regions.
