It was the summer of 2022, and Carly Naundorff, who had graduated from Eckerd College a few weeks earlier, was living and working in Tennessee\u2019s Cherokee National Forest<\/a> as an avian field technician for the U.S. Forest Service<\/a> and the University of Tennessee.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]She also was putting together a research paper in collaboration with Eckerd Professor of Environmental Science and Biology Beth Forys, Ph.D.<\/a>, the Richard R. Hallin Professor in Natural Sciences.<\/p>\n

In the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant.<\/p>\n

Carly lived at a ranger\u2019s station, and there was no reliable Wi-Fi or cellphone service in the park, so she often drove to the nearest town\u2014Tellico Plains (pop. 762)\u2014pulled her Honda HR-V into a Hardee\u2019s parking lot, and popped open her laptop. \u201cI sat out there and worked in my car, or sometimes at the park\u2019s visitors-center lot, which also had free Wi-Fi,\u201d she explains. \u201cI kind of loved it. It was very peaceful and I didn\u2019t mind working in my car. After being out in the field all day, it didn\u2019t really feel like work.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it certainly paid off. Carly, who is from Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania, had graduated from Eckerd with a bachelor\u2019s degree in biology and environmental studies. The research paper she and Forys wrote \u201cAn Evaluation of Morphological Methods for Sex Determination of Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger<\/em>) in the Pre-Fledgling Stage,\u201d was published recently in the peer-reviewed journal Waterbirds<\/em><\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin_tablet=”32″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”15920″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Carly Naundorff ’22 (from LinkedIn)<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”15919″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]Researchers weigh one of the black skimmer chicks (“H2O”) found on Florida’s Gulf Coast.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]And this month, she will begin a fully funded master\u2019s degree program in wildlife ecology at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. She\u2019ll be studying another taxon\u2014bats.<\/p>\n

The research paper, the second that Carly and Forys have collaborated on, is a study of black skimmers, a seabird found along the Gulf Coast of Florida, the California coast and coastal South America, among other areas. Because of loss of habitat, increased predation, climate change and sea level rise, the bird is listed as threatened by the State of Florida. Carly and Forys discovered that a study of black skimmers in California could not be used to accurately study the birds living in Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears our Florida chicks grow slower than those in the California study and do not asymptote [catch up to the natural growth curve] until after they are flight capable,\u201d the authors wrote. \u201cAs black skimmer populations decline, further research is needed to determine the most effective chick sexing method as knowledge of survival rates of pre-fledglings by sex will be critical for evaluating management efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to having two research papers published, Carly received the 24th Annual Greater Everglades Student Memorial Scholarship<\/a>, administered by the Florida Chapter of The Wildlife Society.<\/a> She also was a recipient of the Fulbright Canada-Mitacs Globalink Research Internship<\/a> and the U.S. Department of State\u2019s Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During her four years at Eckerd, she traveled to the Galapagos Islands, Switzerland and Puerto Rico to study ecology, vegetation, permaculture and sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocally,\u201d Forys adds, \u201cCarly\u2019s volunteer and work projects have included telecounseling other students, biology-lab teaching assistance, organic gardening and compost system management, beach cleanups, and building her own website on the importance of protecting biodiversity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cAn undergraduate having two published papers is pretty unusual,\u201d says Forys, who spoke by phone with Carly frequently while she was working in the parking lot.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cThis really shows the promise Carly has at the research level.\u201d<\/p>\n

That research and other work she did at Eckerd, Carly says, helped pave the way for graduate school. \u201cI told myself that unless I got funding in some way, I would have a difficult time paying for it. But Texas State hired me as an instructional assistant, so I\u2019ll be teaching and earning money while I\u2019m in grad school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m super excited,\u201d she adds. \u201cEckerd College is an amazing place, and I\u2019m also grateful to Dr. Forys. She was so supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a trip back to Pennsylvania last October, Carly took a detour to revisit that Hardee’s parking lot in Tellico Plains. \u201cI went out of my way to stop by the town,\u201d she says, \u201cand to help out with bird banding.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
