Enno Merivee

Enno Merivee serves as a Senior Research Fellow in Applied Entomology at the Chair of Plant Health, Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Estonian University of Life Sciences. His research focuses on insect behavior and physiology within agroecosystems, particularly examining non-target effects of agricultural chemicals on beneficial insects.

His primary research interests include agricultural entomology, insect behavior, pesticide ecotoxicology, chemical ecology, and electrophysiology. He employs advanced video-tracking and electrophysiological techniques to study carabid beetles, wireworms, and other insects, investigating sublethal and lethal impacts of pesticides in both laboratory and field-realistic scenarios.

Analysis of his 2017-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on neural mechanisms of environmental stress responses, pesticide effects on insect behavior, and ecosystem services. His work bridges neuroethology and applied pest management, emphasizing sustainable agricultural practices through understanding physiological and behavioral endpoints.

Within the Chair of Plant Health, Dr. Merivee contributes to research on environmentally friendly plant protection strategies, utilizing electrophysiological methods to study sensory systems and behavioral responses in economically important insect species.
