However, atmospheric responses to SST in coastal waters are …             Assessment of predation risk through referential communication in incubating birds ▶     Toshitaka N. Suzuki     Parents of many bird species produce alarm calls when they approach and deter a nest predator in order to defend their offspring. Alarm calls have been shown to warn nestlings …             Impact of land use type conversion on carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems of China: A spatial-temporal perspective ▶     Mei Zhang, Xianjin Huang, Xiaowei Chuai et al.     Our work is the first study to explore the national and provincial composite carbon storage variations in terrestrial ecosystems of China caused by the entire flows of land use …             Early Miocene elevation in northern Tibet estimated by palaeobotanical evidence ▶     Bin Sun, Yu-Fei Wang, Cheng-Sen Li et al.     The area and elevation of the Tibetan Plateau over time has directly affected Asia’s topography, the characteristics of the Asian monsoon, and modified global climate, but in …             Acidification reduced growth rate but not swimming speed of larval sea urchins ▶     Kit Yu Karen Chan, Eliseba García, Sam Dupont     Swimming behaviors of planktonic larvae impact dispersal and population dynamics of many benthic marine invertebrates. This key ecological function is modulated by larval …             Extraordinary Capability for Water Treatment Achieved by a Perfluorous Conjugated Microporous Polymer ▶     Rui-Xia Yang, Ting-Ting Wang, Wei-Qiao Deng     Oils, organic solvents, dyes, and heavy metal ions are primary pollutants in water resources. Currently, no sorbent material can effectively remove these types of pollutants …             Insights into the Anaerobic Biodegradation Pathway of n-Alkanes in Oil Reservoirs by Detection of Signature Metabolites ▶     Xin-Yu Bian, Serge Maurice Mbadinga, Yi-Fan Liu et al.     Anaerobic degradation of alkanes in hydrocarbon-rich environments has been documented and different degradation strategies proposed, of which the most encountered one is fumarate …             Multielement stoichiometry of submerged macrophytes across Yunnan plateau lakes (China) ▶     Wei Xing, Haoping Wu, Qiao Shi et al.     Stoichiometric homeostasis of element composition is one of the central concepts of ecological stoichiometry. We analyzed concentrations of macroelements (C, N, P, Ca, K, Mg, S), …             Nano titania aided clustering and adhesion of beneficial bacteria to plant roots to enhance crop growth and stress management ▶     N. G. M. Palmqvist, S. Bejai, J. Meijer et al.     A novel use of Titania nanoparticles as agents in the nano interface interaction between a beneficial plant growth promoting bacterium (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens UCMB5113) and …             Mapping paddy rice planting area in wheat-rice double-cropped areas through integration of Landsat-8 OLI, MODIS, and PALSAR images ▶     Jie Wang, Xiangming Xiao, Yuanwei Qin et al.     As farmland systems vary over space and time (season and year), accurate and updated maps of paddy rice are needed for studies of food security and environmental problems. We …             Proteomic-based biotyping reveals hidden diversity within a microalgae culture collection: An example using Dunaliella ▶     Kaveh Emami, Ethan Hack, Andrew Nelson et al.     Accurate and defendable taxonomic identification of microalgae strains is vital for culture collections, industry and academia; particularly when addressing issues of …             Citric Acid Enhanced Copper Removal by a Novel Multi-amines Decorated Resin ▶     Chen Ling, Fuqiang Liu, Zhiguo Pei et al.     Cu removal by a novel multi-amines decorated resin (PAMD) from wastewater in the absence or presence of citric acid (CA) was examined. Adsorption capacity of Cu onto PAMD …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Fellow     Thomas Jefferson University (TJU)            Vandervell Postdoctoral Fellowship     University of Exeter            Research Assistant / Associate x 2 (Fixed Term)     University of Cambridge            Postdoctoral Associates     MIT            Postdoctoral Researcher     NUI Galway            Research Assistant / Associate     University of Glasgow            Post-Doctoral Research Associate     Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center            Group Leader Positions     Medical Research Council            Postdoc Position     Hannover Medical School (MHH)            Postdoctoral Fellow     University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences          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.
