Tradeoffs between such considerations exist and this paper uses a bespoke simulation study to quantify them, using realistic and relevant parameter settings. We think it will be of huge benefit to ecologists who wish to study social interactions of wild animal populations.

During a research visit to Zurich with Damien a related question arose: in order to get enough data how should a study be designed? Should the researchers follow a few animals for a long time or many animals for a shorter time? How often per day should locations be recorded?

There are many challenges in monitoring wild animals and Prabhleen's PhD focussed on statistical investigations into how much data is needed to infer an accurate picture of a social network.
