News 12: 138 (online 20 April 2009) Issn 1994-4136 (print), Issn 1997-3500 (online) Received 10 March 2009; accepted 11 March 2009 Bernhard Stadler and Tony Dixon have made a useful contribution to the study of ant ecology and evolution with this book. Its title is an apt description, as the first half is a theoretical discussion of mutualism (cooperative interactions between species), while the second half deals with ants and their insect partners. This is fundamentally a conceptually-based book about mutualism; it is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of our current knowledge of…
