Serving as the first protective barrier, the uptake and transport behavior of organic …             Thermal erosion of cratonic lithosphere as a potential trigger for mass-extinction ▶     Jean Guex, Sebastien Pilet, Othmar Müntener et al.     The temporal coincidence between large igneous provinces (LIPs) and mass extinctions has led many to pose a causal relationship between the two. However, there is still no …             Microscopic Origin of Strain Hardening in Methane Hydrate ▶     Jihui Jia, Yunfeng Liang, Takeshi Tsuji et al.     It has been reported for a long time that methane hydrate presents strain hardening, whereas the strength of normal ice weakens with increasing strain after an ultimate strength. …             Trace fossil evidence of coral-inhabiting crabs (Cryptochiridae) and its implications for growth and paleobiogeography ▶     Adiël A. Klompmaker, Roger W. Portell, Sancia E.T. van der Meij     Members of the Cryptochiridae are small, fragile, symbiotic crabs that live in domiciles in modern corals. Despite their worldwide occurrence with over 50 species known today, …             Weak, Quiet Magnetic Fields Seen in the Venus Atmosphere ▶     T. L. Zhang, W. Baumjohann, C. T. Russell et al.     The existence of a strong internal magnetic field allows probing of the interior through both long term changes of and short period fluctuations in that magnetic field. Venus, …             Using Jupiter’s gravitational field to probe the Jovian convective dynamo ▶     Dali Kong, Keke Zhang, Gerald Schubert     Convective motion in the deep metallic hydrogen region of Jupiter is believed to generate its magnetic field, the strongest in the solar system. The amplitude, structure and …             Effects of environmental radiation on testes and spermatogenesis in wild large Japanese field mice (Apodemus speciosus) from Fukushima ▶     Tsukasa Okano, Hiroko Ishiniwa, Manabu Onuma et al.     The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident that occurred after the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 released large quantities of radionuclides to the …             The degradation potential of PET bottles in the marine environment: An ATR-FTIR based approach ▶     C. Ioakeimidis, K. N. Fotopoulou, H. K. Karapanagioti et al.     The dominance and persistence of plastic debris in the marine environment are well documented. No information exists in respect to their lifespan in the marine environment. …             Global spatial ecology of three closely-related gadfly petrels ▶     Raül Ramos, Iván Ramírez, Vitor H. Paiva et al.     The conservation status and taxonomy of the three gadfly petrels that breed in Macaronesia is still discussed partly due to the scarce information on their spatial ecology. Using …             Effect of light and nutrient availability on the release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by Caribbean turf algae ▶     Benjamin Mueller, Joost den Haan, Petra M. Visser et al.     Turf algae increasingly dominate benthic communities on coral reefs. Given their abundance and high dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates, turf algae are considered …             Novel Signal-Amplified Fenitrothion Electrochemical Assay, Based on Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Dispersed Graphene Oxide ▶     Limin Wang, Jinbo Dong, Yulong Wang et al.     A novel signal-amplified electrochemical assay for the determination of fenitrothion was developed, based on the redox behaviour of organophosphorus pesticides on a glassy carbon …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       PhD Student     German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).            15 PhD scholarships in MSC ITN network EDGE - Oxford, UK : Hannover, DE : Braunschweig, DE : Utrecht, NL : Turino, I     EDGE ITN (locally employed at supervisor)            Postdoctoral Fellow     Colorado School of Mines            Postdoctoral Researcher     Fox Chase Cancer Center (FCCC)            Postdoctoral Research Associate     University of Illinois Chicago College of Medicine            Postdoctoral Position     Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC)             5 PhD students Quantitative Biology     LABEX INFORM- Aix-Marseille UNIVERSITE            Marie Curie Early Stage Researchers     University of Birmingham            Up to 20 fully-funded three year PhD studentships     Newcastle University            Postdoctoral Scientist     Medical Research Council          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.
