Tarleton REU Program

REU research spotlight: D'Metrie King

Home Institution: Southern University and A&M College, Louisiana

REU Mentor: Dr. Phil Sudman, Dept of Biological Sciences

D'Metrie is working with Dr. Sudman to survey birds of Timberlake and in particular to find and track the success of nests with game cameras. This will provide baseline data for bird biodiversity and nesting success during restoration.

D'Metrie isn't one for taking pictures of himself in the field, so instead I'd like to take a minute to recognize and thank D'Metrie for always being willing to help other REU students with their fieldwork. Many students helped each other in the field and visited each other in the lab to learn what they do. One of the best things about the REU program is how students can gain experience in more than just their project.
