This blog contains posts starting in 2008 from students at The Fletcher School at Tufts University, the Leipzig Graduate School of Management, and Hult International Business School. This is an excellent resource for information about all types of social networks, research strategies, and analytic techniques.

Martin Everett, one of the authors of Ucinet, put on an entire conference at the University of Manchester (UK) on animal social nets last year.
This has "weak ties" written all over it: "as immature female giraffes matured to young adults they appeared to increase their gregariousness by forming weaker relationships with a greater number of females". Granovetter would be proud!
