Remember when people said 'buy #Ray-Ban, they last forever!' Well... Not anymore. Bought them less than 3 years ago and they are... destroyed... and I just used them occasionally! Capitalism, planned obsolescence... Or they are too focused on #Meta glasses?

best conversation I heard this week: - waw! These croissants are so good! We should go to a country that is famous for their croissants... Which can it be? - IDK... Canada probably. Yeah... Mmmh... Why not... 🙄

Should the term 'personality trait' be really used in animal personality studies? With Sasha Dall and @dingemanselab.bsky.social we don't think so. We explain why in this commentary published in Animal Behaviour. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Unbelievable... And their reaction is just horrendous... Shame.

Marta Quitian explains her work in Ogasawara islands. "Invasions are not just about which species arrive, but about how multiple newcomers interact". Read more here 👇 Invaders Don’t Come Alone: Rethinking Biological Invasions Through Co-invasion www.anoleannals.org/2026/06/14/i...

I may have found my favourite political party! As an expert on cockroach behaviour, I'd be honoured to serve as advisor 😉

Molt decepcionat amb @grufian.bsky.social (si no està tret fora de context). El burka és un tema complicadíssim q s'utilitza per justificar el racisme, com si la nostra cultura fos la 'bona'. Tolerància i respecte no són d'esquerres? En tot cas ha votat contra la prohibició.. ja és molt.

Low-dispersal insects show a decline in species richness over an 11-year period, largely associated with climate change. It's cool to see field studies matching our predictive results (arxiv.org/abs/2603.29116) #entomology #climateChange #ecology

I came across this sketch in my notebook. Painted it 3 years ago in Philippines... I clearly remember that moment, was the pure definition of "bonheur"

After 6 years of planning, getting funds (thanks #JSPS & #NatGeo), field work, tons of video-analysis, our publication with M. Quitián is out! Was a great experience and an amazing team work! We show that #predator top-down effects dominate impacts on #pollination networks ⬇️ doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

The breakthrough brings scientists a step closer to fusion propulsion - technology that mimics the energy reactions powering the Sun.

Our paper is now published in Evolutionary Ecology "Variation in soldier investment is linked to the evolution of termite soldier defense strategies" We show that differences in termite defense strategies are associated with evolutionary patterns of soldier investment. 🔗 rdcu.be/e4cL3

Well done @aki0221.bsky.social ! Update from ResearchGate: "your article was the most read research item from Evolutionary Ecology last week" 👉 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Quite the chart

🎉 Congratulations to @aki0221.bsky.social ! He got his first paper accepted in Evolutionary Ecology right at the end of his MSc! It's been great working together, and we received amazing feedback from the reviewers and editor. More details soon!

Moltbook, a social media for AI. I quote : 'Former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy called it "the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing" he had seen recently. [...] This isn't social media in any meaningful human sense. It is a hive mind in embryonic form.' www.forbes.com/sites/guneyy...

Trump set out to make history, and he’s doing it. After wrecking every venture-crypto, airline, casino, hotel, university, resort, vodka, steakhouse, magazine-his presidency can’t be any different. Who puts such a mogul to run a country? Listening to him speak makes me physically sick. Trumpsine?

I was looking for refences in this paper we wrote, comparing the effects of behavioural differences and social feedback in collective movements, when I realised we added faces to the monkeys!

Just attended these talks from NatGeo Explorers in Asia, and was amazing! Really wonderful to see the work they are doing, and there was a broad range of topics. From biologging data in penguins to a sociological study in Gaza.

Had the most unprofessional experience ever with a British Eco Soc journal. Long story short: ✅ Handling editor + 3 reviewers love the study. At round 3 of revisions, only minor details, a 4th reviewer claims a bunch of nonsensical flaws. ❌ Editor rejects paper. 9 months wasted. See 🧵for details.

What a delusional world... At least 26 Palestinians killed in Israeli attack, 15,000 patients risk dying while waiting for Israel to enable evacuation, and the only thing Vance has to say: the 'President's' peace is still holding.. peace for who?

I noticed there aren't many free tools to learn Catalan from English (except YouTube). The apps are full of Ads, or use Spanish/Catalan as main language (Duolingo), or are too complicated for beginners (gencat). Thus, I created this flashcards app: iplanass.github.io/study-flashc... (in progress)

Finally, temperature dropped below 26C yesterday night! I was able to sleep with the window open, no AC 😌 First day, since summer started, that I'm thinking of having lunch out in the garden!

What's the #weather like in #Japan? 3 months of summer (= burning sun, 90% RH, +30C at night), two weeks of nice weather (happening now!) followed by typhoons and a super dry winter. Then, two weeks of nice weather again, before rainy season & back to summer. If you're visiting now, enjoy it! :)

⚡️ Update: 1 mine worker killed, 3 injured after Russian attack, energy company says. "The attack damaged the enterprise's buildings and equipment, causing a power outage," the DTEK energy company said.

That's so cool!! 🥂👏 If you are interested in guppies, predator-prey or climate change, please check this new paper from Costanza!

Today in a restaurant I asked: 'Can I have this pasta without bacon please?' -'Of course' says the waiter very kindly. Well, pasta came without bacon indeed, but cooker added mini-sausages instead 😅 I appreciate the effort, but the 'bacon' itself was not the issue 😂 I'll be more specific next time..
