Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

Tetranychus urticae, Genetics, Gene, Botany and Spider mite are his primary areas of study. His studies in Tetranychus urticae integrate themes in fields like Pesticide resistance, Toxicology, Acaricide and Bifenthrin. His work on Genome, Repeated sequence and Transposable element as part of general Gene research is often related to Chikungunya, thus linking different fields of science.

He has included themes like Ecology and Phylogenetics in his Genome study. Particularly relevant to Mite is his body of work in Botany. His Spider mite research includes themes of Plant defense against herbivory and Host.

His most cited work include:

  • The genome of Tetranychus urticae reveals herbivorous pest adaptations (639 citations)
  • Acaricide resistance mechanisms in the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae and other important Acari: A review (435 citations)
  • The ABC gene family in arthropods: Comparative genomics and role in insecticide transport and resistance (292 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Tetranychus urticae, Spider mite, Genetics, Botany and Gene. His work carried out in the field of Tetranychus urticae brings together such families of science as Pesticide resistance, Toxicology, Acaricide and Biochemistry. The concepts of his Spider mite study are interwoven with issues in Plant defense against herbivory and Host.

His study in Botany is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Adaptation and Drosophila melanogaster. Many of his studies on Gene apply to Arthropod as well. In his study, Bacteria is inextricably linked to Microbiology, which falls within the broad field of Mite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Tetranychus urticae (67.50%)
  • Spider mite (48.75%)
  • Genetics (41.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Genome (21.88%)
  • Genetics (41.87%)
  • Tetranychus urticae (67.50%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Genome, Genetics, Tetranychus urticae, Acaricide and Gene. His Genome research includes elements of Evolutionary biology, Biotechnology, Computational biology, Aculops lycopersici and Thrips. His Tetranychus urticae study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cross-resistance, Abamectin and Spider mite.

Thomas Van Leeuwen has researched Acaricide in several fields, including Varroa destructor, Mite, Bioassay and Microbiology. His research in Mite intersects with topics in PEST analysis and Toxicology. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Gene, Transcriptome, Identification, Detoxification, Overall response rate and Phylogenetics is strongly linked to Arthropod.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Identification and characterization of new mutations in mitochondrial cytochrome b that confer resistance to bifenazate and acequinocyl in the spider mite Tetranychus urticae (13 citations)
  • Geographical distribution and molecular insights into abamectin and milbemectin cross-resistance in European field populations of Tetranychus urticae. (11 citations)
  • QTL mapping using microsatellite linkage reveals target-site mutations associated with high levels of resistance against three mitochondrial complex II inhibitors in Tetranychus urticae (9 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Genetics

His main research concerns Spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, Genetics, Gene and Cross-resistance. His Spider mite study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Esterase, Monooxygenase, Acaricide and Microbiology. His Tetranychus urticae research integrates issues from Cytochrome and Cytochrome P450.

His study on Quantitative trait locus and Microsatellite is often connected to Ubiquinone binding, SDHB and SDHD as part of broader study in Genetics. He interconnects Pesticide resistance, Abamectin, PEST analysis and Arthropod in the investigation of issues within Gene. The Cross-resistance study combines topics in areas such as Mutation, Phenotype, Cytochrome b and Mitochondrial cytochrome.
