About Dr. McIntyre
McIntyre's current research involves wildlife camera trapping in the Bearpaw reserve (just 20 minutes form campus adjacent to forest falls). This research is on ecological succession of plants and animals in the reserve. Other (quite new) line of research is to work with multiple state and federal agencies in southern CA on the future placement of “wildlife crossings” across (usually under or over) southern California freeways. This effort will eventually include the 10 freeway, the 15, 215, and 210.
