  • Cleaner mites: Sanitary mutualism in the miniature ecosystem of Neotropical bee nests 
    Biani, Natalia B.; Mueller, Ulrich G.; Wcislo, William T. (2009)
    Abstract: Cleaning symbioses represent classic models of mutualism, and some bee mites are thought to perform cleaning services for their hosts in exchange for suitable environments for reproduction and dispersal. These ...
  • Coevolution between attine ants and actinomycete bacteria: a reevaluation 
    Mueller, Ulrich G.; Dash, Debadutta; Rabeling, Christian; Rodrigues, Andre (2008)
    We reassess the coevolution between actinomycete bacteria and fungus-gardening (attine) ants. Actinomycete bacteria are of special interest because they are metabolic mutualists of diverse organisms (e.g., in nitrogen-fixation ...

  • Monoculture of Leafcutter Ant Gardens 
    Mueller, Ulrich G.; Scott, Jarrod J.; Ishak, Heather D.; Cooper, Michael; Rodrigues, Andre (2010)
    Background: Leafcutter ants depend on the cultivation of symbiotic Attamyces fungi for food, which are thought to be grown by the ants in single-strain, clonal monoculture throughout the hundreds to thousands of gardens ...
  • No sex in fungus-farming ants or their crops 
    Himler, Anna G.; Caldera, Eric J.; Baer, Boris C.; Fernandez-Marin, Hermogenes; Mueller, Ulrich G. (2009)
    Asexual reproduction imposes evolutionary handicaps on asexual species, rendering them prone to extinction, because asexual reproduction generates novel genotypes and purges deleterious mutations at lower rates than sexual ...
  • Population genetic signatures of diffuse co-evolution between leaf-cutting ants and their cultivar fungi 
    Mikheyev, A. S.; Mueller, Ulrich G.; Boomsma, Jacobus J. Koos (2007)
    Abstract Switching of symbiotic partners pervades most mutualisms, despite mechanisms that appear to enforce partner fidelity. To investigate the interplay of forces binding and dissolving mutualistic pairings, we investigated ...
  • Sperm length evolution in the fungus-growing ants 
    Baer, Boris C.; Dijkstra, Michiel B.; Mueller, Ulrich G.; Nash, David R.; Boomsma, Jacobus J. Koos (2009)
    Eusocial insects offer special opportunities for the comparative study of sperm traits because sperm competition is absent (in species with obligatory monandry) or constrained (in lineages where queens mate multiply but ...
