Yes. it's not my area but I was surprised to learn how strong they are.

Thank you for the apology. And sorry if I read your quote of my post as being directed at the initiators of the motion.

If only you could direct your mansplaining to them instead...

Final motions are often not the same as the one submitted, and can be altered during the process by special interest groups or lobbyists

All this thinking about the thing I've always wanted to know in science wouldn't have been possible without the support of the @erc.europa.eu to my FriendOrigins project. Long may funding for fundamental and blueskies science continue

After 5 yrs of thinking, debating and endless schematic doodles, we came up with the Adaptive Relationships Framework, published in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social
We hope it's useful, and even if turns out to be wrong, that it encourages new conversations about the evolution of social structure.

Delphine and I thought it made sense to merge ideas from behavioural ecology with ones from network science. We reasoned this would allow us to predict what types of relationships are best suited to solve the different challenges animals face.

So I became a behavioural ecologist, dabbled in network science, and found some likeminded scientists who wanted to know this too, like @delphinedemoor.bsky.social.
