• Sex and social networking: the influence of male presence on social structure of female shark groups (2010, background): “Understanding the distribution of animals, information transfer, and spread of disease within particular species is greatly enhanced by examining social structure of animal aggregations (James et al. 2009).”
• Do social networks of female northern long-eared bats vary with reproductive period and age? (2010, background): “In addition, because network analyses are sensitive to missing data, interpretations based on group level metrics rather than individuals is more robust (see James et al. 2009 for more discussion).”
• Association networks in spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) (2009, background): “In this context, the recommendation by James et al. (2009), that in order to remove the effects of random processes of aggregation, binary networks should be filtered before being analyzed, is less important.”
• Animal social networks: an introduction (2009, background): “James et al. (2009) warn us of some of the potential pitfalls of applying some of the existing methods, analyses and interpretations without quite enough thought.”
• Network structure and parasite transmission in a group living lizard, the gidgee skink, Egernia stokesii (2009, methodology): “Network construction by this method is known as ‘gambit of the group’ (James et al. 2009), where close association is inferred from group membership.”
• Social network theory: new insights and issues for behavioral ecologists (2009, methodology): “We refer the reader to other texts for discussion of these issues (e.g., Croft et al. 2008; James et al. 2009; Franks et al. 2009).”
• Structure and resilience of the social network in an insect colony as a function of colony size (2009, background): “Network theory, which deals with quantifying the local and global properties that characterize the structure and behavior of a set of interconnected units (Newman 2003; Krause et al. 2007, 2009; James et al. 2009), is therefore wellsuited to give new insights into some of the long-standing issues in”
