The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Hamilton's legacy: kinship, cooperation and social tolerance in mammalian groups (2014, methodology): “Furthermore, recent application of statistical tools, such as those from social network theory (e.g. Pinter-Wollman et al., 2013; Wey, Blumstein, Shen, & Jordan, 2008) and quantitative genetics (e.g. Kruuk, 2004), to long-term data from natural populations should allow for the partitioning of…”
Constructing, conducting and interpreting animal social network analysis (2015, background): “First, the data must be collected and analysed at a scale that is appropriate for the biological questions (Pinter-Wollman et al. 2013).”
Identification of behaviours from accelerometer data in a wild social primate (2017, background): “To identify even a fraction of grooming events remotely using tracking collars could transform our ability to explore the spatial–temporal dynamics of social relationships in baboons (and other grooming species) [57].”
