Abstract

Rodney M. Feldmann (1939–2024) had a remarkable scientific career. Publishing primarily in paleontology and geology during seven decades, his legacy includes more than 500 journal articles, conference proceedings, books, book chapters, field guides, and laboratory manuals, in addition to many abstracts of talks presented at conferences. His published work has considerable breadth, but much of it concerns the paleobiology of decapods and other crustaceans. He supervised 47 M.S. theses and 14 Ph.D. dissertations and served in multiple societies and organizations and on editorial boards. Prof. Feldmann was an inspiration to his many students and colleagues around the globe and has left a lasting impact on science.
