World War II Service: enlisted in the Hospital Corps, then commissioned Ensign, USNR
PhD, Professor of Biology at Rio Grande College (now University of Rio Grande), and associated with Holzer Hospital's education program. He died after collapsing while walking across RGC campus one beautiful Autumn day. His funeral was held in a church near the college with students, faculty, admin, staff, and alumni filling the pews.
Attained PhD at U of PA and reputed to have a second from the Sorbonne in Paris. He earned his Bachelor's at the University of Virginia.
At the time of his death, he had been working on independent research of the effect of chlorophyll on longevity of Drosophila melanogaster. Over his career, he took part in field and laboratory studies, finding and naming at least one new species. He taught lecture and lab classes, published many journal articles, and encouraged students to be active in the field themselves.
Member, Sons of the American Revolution, Sigma Xi, various Science organizations. His mother was Emily Selis Carr who was his father's first wife and born in England.
According to The Biology of Plethodontid Salamanders, Richard C. Bruce, Robert G. Jaeger, Lynne HouckSpringer, Apr 30, 2000, page 35 of 485 pages, there is a population of P. jordani originated in Whitetop Mountain, Virginia, introduced in the 1930s by Lloyd Carr to Hunter's Branch, at the entrace to the Mountain Lake Biological Station in Giles County, Virginia, and found in that new location since 1956, but nowhere else in the Valley and Ridge Province east of the New River.
The August 5, 1940 issue of Life magazine included an article about Mountain Lake (see previous paragraph) and its rich resources for naturalists. There are many wonderful photographs illustrating the area and its flora and fauna. Several of these photos feature Lloyd Carr doing his very hands-on work. The article starts on page 49 and concludes on page 51. It is available online.
