  For lmer, you can look at http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.5823 .

  For GLMMs, we have a paper in progress but it's still in the
draft stage.

  You can look at Chapter 6 of 
http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/lMMwR/lrgprt.pdf , but it doesn't 
actually have too much on the estimation methods.

Slides from various of Doug Bates's presentations, e.g.
