Danniel D'Amore, Ph.D. 2018. Danny D'Amore is interested in the link between behaviors, personalities, and the success of invasive species. She uses the X. helleri and X. helleri-maculatus system to investigate how the invasive process, hybridization, and linebreeding can shape these behaviors and influence the path to invasive success.
