Abstract
Broadly speaking, my research interests include landscape ecology and community ecology in grasslands and urban ecosystems. More specifically, my interests focus on examining how human activity affects the abundance, distribution, and behaviors of animals by altering the spatial distribution of resources in heterogeneous and dynamic landscapes. The research projects conducted by me and my students typically focus on arthropods and birds, but the focal organism is not as important as the research question being asked. I also have long-standing interests in habitat selection by Eleodes beetles, odonates (dragonflies and damselflies), scorpions, and various birds. Main Research Projects of the McIntyre Lab Of all the anthropogenic activities that affect organisms, landscape change stemming from land conversion (primarily agriculture and urbanization) is the most intensive and cosmopolitan. This topic is the main focus of my lab. Within this broad category, there are several areas of concentration: Effects of anthropogenic land use on odonates of the playas of the Llano
