Social cohesion in a hierarchically structured embayment population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (2009, background): “…greatly facilitated our understanding of how ecological, social and population-level factors influence association patterns (e.g. Croft et al. 2005; Flack et al. 2006; Sundaresan et al. 2007; Wolf et al. 2007), and how individual behaviour and network structure subsequently influence the…”

Niche Construction Theory and Archaeology (2010, background): “Numerous empirical studies followed (e.g., Donohue 2005; Flack et al. 2006), and interest in the topic has blossomed into a multidisciplinary movement, involving evolutionary biologists, ecologists, psychologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, computer scientists, philosophers, and others.”
Phage therapy in clinical practice: treatment of human infections. (2010, background): “In addition to a number of articles describing first-hand their phage therapy experience and related issues (below), the group has also published, in English, general phage therapy reviews [16,17] plus have explored issues of phage purification [18], phage therapy economics [19], phage translocation”
The emergence of unshared consensus decisions in bottlenose dolphins (2009, background): “The reach of an individual quantifies its indirect connectivity to others in the network, i.e. the number of individuals it can reach in the network at a given time (Newman 2003; Flack et al. 2006).”
Shark personalities? Repeatability of social network traits in a widely distributed predatory fish (2014, background): “consequences of instability in social structure, for example, have demonstrated increased fragmentation and escalation of conflict in destabilised primate social groups (Flack et al. 2006; Beisner et al. 2011).”
Social cohesion in yellow-bellied marmots is established through age and kin structuring (2010, positive): “Certain individuals may be especially important for maintaining group stability and structure (McComb et al. 2001; Flack et al. 2006), and their removal can have profound implications for conservation (McComb et al. 2001).”

Inter-group interactions (2009, methodology): “…to predict future fate of individuals based on early connectivity (McDonald 2007), predict the effect of removal of key individuals from groups (Flack et al. 2006), understand disease dynamics (Cross et al. 2004) and explain the evolution and maintenance of cooperative behaviours (Thomas et…”
Comparative transitive and temporal orderliness in dominance networks (2013, positive): “, reduced time spent in agonistic encounters), to all group members (Flack et al. 2006).”
How demographic processes shape animal social networks (2019, background): “As highlighted above, experimental studies have already demonstrated that removal of individuals can change the behavior of survivors to whom they were associated (Flack et al. 2006; Firth et al. 2017), and there is evidence that loss of key individuals can change social dynamics within cooperative ”
Animal social networks: an introduction (2009, background): “Flack et al. (2006) predicted the effect of social policing on the structure of interactions among a group of primates, and McDonald (2007) showed that the network connectivity of young male long-tailed manakins (Chiroxiphia linearis) predicted their future breeding success.”
