Abstract
May 1, 2024, marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of the eminent palaeomyrmecologist Professor Gennady M. Dlussky. In the decade since his death, 20 posthumous articles have been published, furthering his legacy. To honour his contributions and to document his role as the most significant figure in the history of palaeomyrmecology, we have written an account of the field’s development, with a special focus on Dlussky’s work on fossil ants. Over the course of his scientific career, G.M. Dlussky authored or co-authored 226 fossil ant species, representing nearly a third (28%) of all valid fossil species known today. We have identified four stages in the development of palaeomyrmecology, one of which we have named “Dlussky’s Era.” Additionally, we provide a comprehensive list of his palaeomyrmecological publications.
