Let ${{j}_{v,1}}$ be the smallest (first) positive zero of the Bessel function ${{J}_{v}}(z),\,v\,>\,-\,1$, which becomes zero when $v$ approaches −1. Then $j_{v,1}^{2}$ can be continued analytically to $-2\,<\,v\,<\,-1$, where it takes on negative values. We show that $j_{v,1}^{2}$ is a convex function of $v$ in the interval $-2\,<\,v\,\le \,0$, as an addition to an old result [Á. Elbert and A. Laforgia, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 15(1984), 206–212], stating this convexity for $v\,>\,0$. Also the monotonicity properties of the functions $\frac{j_{v,1}^{2}}{4(v+1)},\,\frac{j_{v,1}^{2}}{4(v+1)\sqrt{v+2}}$ are determined. Our approach is based on the series expansion of Bessel function ${{J}_{v}}(z)$ and it turned out to be effective, especially when $-2\,<\,v\,<\,-1$.
