Joseph Hurd Connell FAA (born October 5, 1923) is an American ecologist. He earned his MA degree in zoology at the University of California, Berkeley and his PhD at Glasgow University.〔This Week’s Citation Classic. Garfield library. Web. 21 Feb. 2014.〕 Connell’s first research paper examined the effects of intraspecific competition and predation on populations of a barnacle species on the rocky shores of Scotland.〔Connell, JH. Effects of competition, predation by Thais lapillus, and other factors on natural populations of the barnacle Balanus balanoides. Ecological Monographs. 31 (1961):61-104 Print.〕 According to Connell, this classic paper is often cited because it addressed ecological topics that previously had been given minor roles.〔 Together, with a subsequent barnacle study on the influence of competition and desiccation,〔Connell, JH. The influence of interspecific competition and other factors on the distribution of the barnacle Chthamalus stellatus. Ecology. 42 (1961):710-723. Print.〕 these two influential papers have laid the foundation for future research and the findings continue to have relevance to current ecology.〔Cain, M., Bowman, W. and S. Hacker S. Ecology. Sundeland, MA: Sinauer Associates, 2011. Print.〕 His early work earned him a Guggenheim fellowship in 1962〔"Joseph H. Connell - John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation". Gf.org. Retrieved 2013-05-08.〕 and the George Mercer Award in 1963〔ESA History. Ecological Society of America. Web. 21. Feb. 2014.〕 In 2010, a Symposium was held in his honour by the Ecological Society of America said that "Connell’s observations, insights, syntheses, and example have motivated education and research in population and community ecology for over six decades". Among his important works are the Connell–Slatyer model of ecological succession (facilitation, tolerance and inhibition) and the Janzen-Connell hypothesis that explains plant-species diversity in tropical forests.〔Schupp, EW. The Janzen-Connell Model for Tropical Tree Diversity-Population implications and the Importance of Spatial Scale. American Naturalist 140(3) (1992): 526-530. Print.〕 Other notable works are his 1978 intermediate disturbance hypothesis〔Russell, Peter J. et al. Biology - Exploring the Diversity of Life: Volume 3. Toronto: Nelson Education Ltd. 2010. Print.〕 and his thirty-year study of corals in the Great Barrier Reef.〔Connell, J., Hughes, T., and C. Wallace. A 30-Year Study of Coral Abundance, Recruitment, and Disturbance at Several Scales in Space and Time. Ecological Monographs. 67(4) (1997): 461-488. Print.〕 He is a corresponding member of the Australian Academy of Science, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,〔(New Members: Class of 2005 ).〕 and a Guggenheim fellow, and has received the Eminent Ecologist Award from the Ecological Society of America.〔 He is a professor emeritus at the University of California Santa Barbara. Connell was elected to the Australian Academy of Science in 2002 as a Corresponding Fellow. ==Selected publications== *Joseph H. Connell. (Diversity in Tropical Rain Forests and Coral Reefs ) (PDF).
