Early life and educationInfluences in early lifeDenslow was influenced by the natural world from an early age. Growing up in South Florida, her family spent plenty of time outdoors. She grew up fishing and swimming with her parents and her cousins in the Everglades and the Florida Keys. Throughout her high school and college years, she assisted graduate students at the Virginia UM Marine Laboratory. While Denslow was studying at Oberlin College, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, bringing to light the negative impacts that humans can have on the environment. She grew up knowing that she wanted to have a career focused on nature and conservation, but it was a pivotal experience during a 2-month field course on the fundamentals of tropical ecology in Costa Rica with the Organization for Tropical Studies that she found her passion for tropical ecosystems, and felt she could positively impact this field.[1] Education[3]1964 A.B. Zoology, Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio 1969 M.S. Biology, University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. 1978 Ph.D. Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin CareerField work in Invasive Species UnitDenslow worked for the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service at the Institute for Pacific Islands Forestry as a research ecologist and team leader of the Invasive Species Unit from 1999-2007. While working there, she and a team of other scientists studied impacts on native forests in Hawaii and other Pacific islands when exotic invasive plants were introduced, and used their findings to help advise land managers as well as the public on the effects that non-native plants can have on native ecosystems.[4] PublicationsPapersGap Partitioning among Tropical Rainforest Trees[2]Her long career as a scientist and educator allowed her to publish many papers, with the journal Biotropica containing 11 of her works. These 11 papers alone have been cited widely by other researchers, with over 700 citations in other papers. Her paper "Gap Partitioning among Tropical Rainforest Trees" alone accounts for a large percentage of these, and had been cited over 450 times as of 2016—making it the most cited paper in Biotropica Other Significant Research[6]

Denslow PrizeThe tropical ecology journal Biotropica has recognized Denslow's research contributions to the field by enstating the Julie S. Denslow Prize in 2015. Previously called the Award for Excellence in Tropical Biology and Conservation, since 2000 it has been awarded each year to a researcher who has published an outstanding paper in the journal during the previous calendar year. Recipients are determined based on papers that are presented clearly, with a well thought out design, that allow for new insights into factors influencing the various processes in tropical ecosystems.[5] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://tropicalbiology.org/gender-committee-meeting-2007/|title=Gender Committee Meeting 2007|last=|first=|date=|website=tropicalbiology.org|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2018-10-26}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Denslow, Julie}}2. ^1 {{Cite journal|last=Denslow|first=Julie Sloan|date=1980|title=Gap Partitioning among Tropical Rainforest Trees|journal=Biotropica|volume=12|issue=2|pages=47–55|doi=10.2307/2388156|jstor=2388156}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121030201742/http://www.fs.fed.us:80/psw/programs/cb/staff/jdenslow/|title=Julie Denslow {{!}} Pacific Southwest Research Station|date=2012-10-30|access-date=2018-11-20}} 4. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=https://hilo.hawaii.edu/faculty/ostertag/career-resources/Julie-Denslow.php|title=Julie Denslow|website=hilo.hawaii.edu|language=en|access-date=2018-10-26}} 5. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://biotropica.org/biotropica-renames-awards/|title=Biotropica renames its “Outstanding Paper” awards for two pioneering scientists|date=2016-09-12|work=Biotropica Editor's Blog|access-date=2018-10-26|language=en-US}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.discoverlife.org/who/CV/denslow_julie.970902.html|title=JULIE SLOAN DENSLOW|last=Denslow|first=Julie|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2018-11-20}} 7. ^{{Citation|last=Denslow|first=Julie S.|date=1996|pages=127–151|publisher=Springer Berlin Heidelberg|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-642-79755-2_7|isbn=9783642797576|title=Biodiversity and Ecosystem Processes in Tropical Forests|volume=122|series=Ecological Studies|chapter=Functional Group Diversity and Responses to Disturbance}} 6 : 1942 births|Living people|People from Coral Gables, Florida|American women botanists|American women biologists|American ecologists |
