About Merijn R. Kant

Merijn R. Kant, With an exceptional h-index of 30 and a recent h-index of 26 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Universiteit van Amsterdam, specializes in the field of Biology, Ecology, Plant-herbivore interactions, Chemical ecology, Genomics.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Rising temperatures favour defence-suppressing herbivores

Interaction of whitefly effector G4 with tomato proteins impacts whitefly performance

Tomato Defence Suppression is a Common Trait in Tetranychus urticae Collected from Field-Grown Tomatoes

Intraspecific variation for host immune activation by the spider mite Tetranychus evansi

Plant defences and spider-mite web affect host plant choice and performance of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci

Enhanced top‐down control of herbivore population growth on plants with impaired defences

Intradiol ring cleavage dioxygenases from herbivorous spider mites as a new detoxification enzyme family in animals

The magnitude of suppression does not increase with mite density, unlike induction
