These electronic tags are an amazing discovery:
While social network analysis has been extensively developed and used for studying human societies and behavior, animals are also social creatures. One of the problematic aspects of studying an animal’s social network, prior to the unveiling of this technology, was that animals tend not to share with you where they have been and with whom they have interacted. This information is vital to the study of a social network. Encounternet makes the continuous study of a population possible.

I wonder if you can still use these tags as surveillance devices on people you're trying to spy on...
Yay for new technologies that spread the benefits of social network analysis to the animal world!
