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.”

Sex and social networking: the influence of male presence on social structure of female shark groups (2010, background): “This has resulted in social network analysis fast becoming an integral tool for understanding how individual behavior influences group decision making in social animal populations (Croft et al. 2008).”
related: an R package for analysing pairwise relatedness from codominant molecular markers (2015, background): “This approach should be particularly informative for analyses of social structure, where complex social networks have evolved (e.g. Whitehead 1999; Croft et al. 2008).”
Potential banana skins in animal social network analysis (2009, methodology): “Testing the structure of an animal social network against one or more relational explanatory variables can be achieved via a number of randomisation tests, including the straightforward Mantel test (1967) and more sophisticated tests developed by, for example, Hemelrijk (1990a, b) and McDonald et al”
Social network theory: new insights and issues for behavioral ecologists (2009, methodology): “…calculated social network metrics include: the focal’s reach (the number of friends of friends, the number of individuals connected to a focal via two steps), and the clustering coefficient (the tendency for a focal’s friends to also be friends with each other) (Newman 2003a; Croft et al. 2008).”
Social network correlates of food availability in an endangered population of killer whales, Orcinus orca (2012, positive): “Tominimize bias from sampling techniques (Lusseau et al. 2006; Croft et al. 2008), and to maximize the comparability with other cetacean association studies (Bräger et al.”
Social dynamics among females and their influence on social structure in an East African chimpanzee community (2013, positive): “A fundamental challenge in behavioural ecology is understanding how individual behaviour influences animal societies (Croft et al. 2008; Whitehead 2008).”
The social network structure of a dynamic group of dairy cows:from individual to group level patterns (2016, methodology): “These methods allow us to study non-random patterns of association, and detect 87 differences in group structure that may be linked to individual attributes (Croft et al., 2008).”
Do social networks of female northern long-eared bats vary with reproductive period and age? (2010, methodology): “Network analysis permits exploration of the role individuals, or groups of individuals, play in a population by summarizing their direct and indirect connections (via common associates) with others (for recent reviews, see Croft et al. 2008; Krause et al. 2009).”

Hobson,b Jennifer E. Smith,c Andrew J. Edelman,d…”

SOCPROG programs: analysing animal social structures (2009, positive): “The suite of techniques termed network analysis is developing rapidly and has, in the past few years, started to be applied to animal social systems (Croft et al. 2008; Krause et al. 2009; Wey et al. 2008).”

Network position: a key component in the characterization of social personality types (2012, methodology): “Many studies have shown that different positions in animal groups (both spatially and socially) can have distinct advantages and disadvantages in terms of predator avoidance, access to information and disease transmission (reviewed in Krause and Ruxton 2002; Croft et al. 2008).”
