A short article, but a good read nonetheless that describes the application of SNA to fields we wouldn't initially consider applying SNA to.  Through SNA application, not only are we able to better understand organizations and human interaction, but with the development of technology and its utilization, we can also better understand animal interaction and consequently our world.  Most animals are embedded into some social network, even if only loosely, for survival.  The implications of better understanding animal social networks can have huge ramifications on not only gaining an understanding of our world, but also in gaining new knowledge of interactions, which based on the knowledge, could be applied to managing organizations.
