152:. He earned his MA degree in zoology at the University of California, Berkeley and his PhD at Glasgow University. Connell's first research paper examined the effects of interspecific competition and predation on populations of a barnacle species on the rocky shores of Scotland. 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, these two influential papers have laid the foundation for future research and the findings continue to have relevance to current ecology. His early work earned him a Guggenheim fellowship in 1962 and the George Mercer Award in 1963.

Besides this foundational paper, he wrote numerous other papers that explore ecological community structure, patterns of succession and species biodiversity. As a teacher he encouraged his students to go beyond and look beneath the surface and evaluate the ecological matter. As a mentor, he was very

Connell’s paper on “Diversity in tropical rain forests and coral reefs” made it clear that disturbance has crucial impacts on ecological communities. This article discuss the organization and assemblages of coral reefs and tropical rain forest. He explored that trees in the tropical rain forest and
