BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

W.M. Wheeler Lost Pines Professor, Section of Integrative Biology

M.A., Animal Behavior, Cornell University, 1986. Ph.D., Molecular Ecology and Behavior, Cornell University, 1992. Behavioral Evolution, Molecular Ecology, and Microbial Ecology: Dr. Mueller's research aims at understanding the evolution of organismal interactions, particularly the evolution of mutualisms and the evolution of social conflict and cooperation. Current research focuses largely on the coevolution between fungus-growing ants and their fungi, but Dr. Mueller admits to an inordinate fondness for social insects in general.
