Nax, Matjaž Perc     We consider an environment where players are involved in a public goods game and must decide repeatedly whether to make an individual contribution or not. However, players lack …             A study of room-temperature LixMn1.5Ni0.5O4 solid solutions ▶     Kuppan Saravanan, Angelique Jarry, Robert Kostecki et al.     Understanding the kinetic implication of solid-solution vs. biphasic reaction pathways is critical for the development of advanced intercalation electrode materials. Yet this has …             Integrated metagenomics and network analysis of soil microbial community of the forest timberline ▶     Junjun Ding, Yuguang Zhang, Ye Deng et al.     The forest timberline responds quickly and markedly to climate changes, rendering it a ready indicator. Climate warming has caused an upshift of the timberline worldwide. …             Complex forest dynamics indicate potential for slowing carbon accumulation in the southeastern United States ▶     John W. Coulston, David N. Wear, James M. Vose     Over the past century forest regrowth in Europe and North America expanded forest carbon (C) sinks and offset C emissions but future C accumulation is uncertain. Policy makers …             Insolation driven biomagnetic response to the Holocene Warm Period in semi-arid East Asia ▶     Suzhen Liu, Chenglong Deng, Jule Xiao et al.     The Holocene Warm Period (HWP) provides valuable insights into the climate system and biotic responses to environmental variability and thus serves as an excellent analogue for …             Nannofossils in 2011 El Hierro eruptive products reinstate plume model for Canary Islands ▶     Kirsten Zaczek, Valentin R. Troll, Mario Cachao et al.     The origin and life cycle of ocean islands have been debated since the early days of Geology. In the case of the Canary archipelago, its proximity to the Atlas orogen led to …             Transmission of tularemia from a water source by transstadial maintenance in a mosquito vector ▶     Stina Bäckman, Jonas Näslund, Mats Forsman et al.     Mosquitoes are thought to function as mechanical vectors of Francisella tularensis subspecies holarctica (F. t. holarctica) causing tularemia in humans. We investigated the …             CO2 enrichment and N addition increase nutrient loss from decomposing leaf litter in subtropical model forest ecosystems ▶     Juxiu Liu, Xiong Fang, Qi Deng et al.     As atmospheric CO2 concentration increases, many experiments have been carried out to study effects of CO2 enrichment on litter decomposition and nutrient release. However, the …             Hydraulic Experiments for Determination of In-situ Hydraulic Conductivity of Submerged Sediments ▶     Bong-Joo Lee, Ji-Hoon Lee, Heesung Yoon et al.     A new type of in-situ hydraulic permeameter was developed to determine vertical hydraulic conductivity (VHC) of saturated sediments from hydraulic experiments using Darcy's law. …             Hierarchically porous silicon–carbon–nitrogen hybrid materials towards highly efficient and selective adsorption of organic dyes ▶     Lala Meng, Xiaofei Zhang, Yusheng Tang et al.     The hierarchically macro/micro-porous silicon–carbon–nitrogen (Si–C–N) hybrid material was presented with novel functionalities of totally selective and highly efficient …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Senior Research Fellow     University of Portsmouth, UK            Postdoctoral Researcher     Lehigh University            PhD studentship     Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)            Postdoc Position     University of Sao Paulo (Brazil)            PhD-student     Georg-August-Universität Göttingen            Clinical Trial Manager     Institute of Cancer Research (ICR)            Postdoctoral Associates     Sanford Bunrham Medical Research Institute            Bioinformatics Specialist II     Massachusetts General Hospital            Associate Research Fellow     University of Exeter            Postdoctoral Fellow     Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute          No matter what your career stage, student, postdoc or senior scientist, you will find articles on naturejobs.com to help guide you in your science career.
