Animal social networks: an introduction (2009, methodology): “Though there are plenty of methods already available (Whitehead 2008; Croft et al 2008), new questions still often require at least a tweak on old methods, or sometimes a completely new approach.”
Female bisexual kinship ties maintain social cohesion in a dolphin network (2010, background): “This combined approach has the advantage of distinguishing temporally stable social groups from the short-term clustering of individuals (Whitehead 2008).”

Sampling animal association networks with the gambit of the group (2009, neutral): “Additionally, appropriate randomization of the relational data can help to compensate for some types of biases; see Croft et al. (2008) and Whitehead (2008).”
A comparative network analysis of social style in macaques (2011, methodology): “Previous studies (Lusseau 2003; Flack et al. 2006; Croft et al. 2008; Whitehead 2008) indicated that patterns of network density, modularity and centrality are indices of group stability.”
Social dynamics among females and their influence on social structure in an East African chimpanzee community (2013, positive): “Thus, it is important to understand the patterning of social interactions of both sex classes when analysing social structure (Whitehead 2008). by Elsevier Ltd.”
Social cohesion in a hierarchically structured embayment population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (2009, methodology): “Expected weights were determined by two methods: (1) controlling for gregariousness of individuals (Newman 2004); and (2) taking spatial clustering and preferred/avoided companionships into account by permuting associations within daily sampling periods using 1000 permutations and 100 flips per perm”
Do social networks of female northern long-eared bats vary with reproductive period and age? (2010, methodology): “Both strength and reach were calculated using SOCPROG 2.3 (Whitehead 2008a).”
A framework for studying social complexity (2019, neutral): “Variation in spatial cohesion or temporal persistencemaymake this task operationally challenging in some taxa, however (e.g., Whitehead 2008; Schneider and Kappeler 2016).”
Potential banana skins in animal social network analysis (2009, methodology): “The majority of the recent applications of network theory in the behavioural sciences, including ours, have constructed social networks of fission–fusion systems by invoking what Whitehead and Dufault (1999) dubbed the”
Generalized affiliation indices extract affiliations from social network data (2015, methodology): “Many, perhaps most, studies of the social networks of nonhumans are built upon matrices of association indices, estimates of the proportion of time that pairs of individuals are associated (Whitehead 2008).”
The role of habitat configuration in shaping social structure: a gap in studies of animal social complexity (2019, neutral): “Here, it has been helpful to consider interactions as resulting from the decision-making processes with respect to whom individuals choose to interact with (Hinde 1976; Whitehead 2008; Kurvers et al. 2014; Aureli and Schino 2019, topical collection on Social complexity).”

Assessing dominance hierarchies: validation and advantages of progressive evaluation with Elo-rating (2011, methodology): “15 16 The analysis of dominance has a long-standing history (Schjelderup-Ebbe 1922; 17 Landau 1951), and a great number of methods to assess hierarchies in animal societies 18 are currently available (reviewed in de Vries 1998; Bayly et al. 2006; Whitehead 2008).”
