Desai et al.     A better understanding of ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE) will help us improve ecosystem management for mitigation as well as adaption to global hydrological change. Here, …             Single-cell analysis reveals gene-expression heterogeneity in syntrophic dual-culture of Desulfovibrio vulgaris with Methanosarcina barkeri ▶     Zhenhua Qi, Guangsheng Pei, Lei Chen et al.     Microbial syntrophic metabolism has been well accepted as the heart of how methanogenic and other anaerobic microbial communities function. In this work, we applied a single-cell …             Impacts of infection with different toxigenic Clostridium difficile strains on faecal microbiota in children ▶     Zongxin Ling, Xia Liu, Xiaoyun Jia et al.     Increasing evidence suggests that altered intestinal microbial composition and function result in an increased risk of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD); however, …             Synchronous turnover of flora, fauna, and climate at the Eocene–Oligocene Boundary in Asia ▶     Jimin Sun, Xijun Ni, Shundong Bi et al.     The Eocene–Oligocene Boundary (~34 million years ago) marks one of the largest extinctions of marine invertebrates in the world oceans and of mammalian fauna in Europe and Asia …             Temporal dynamics of the ABC transporter response to insecticide treatment: insights from the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi ▶     Sara Epis, Daniele Porretta, Valentina Mastrantonio et al.     In insects, ABC transporters have been shown to contribute to defence/resistance to insecticides by reducing toxic concentrations in cells/tissues. Despite the extensive studies …             Intensified Diapycnal Mixing in the Midlatitude Western Boundary Currents ▶     Zhao Jing, Lixin Wu     The wind work on oceanic near-inertial motions is suggested to play an important role in furnishing the diapycnal mixing in the deep ocean which affects the uptake of heat and …             The exposure of Sydney (Australia) to earthquake-generated tsunamis, storms and sea level rise: a probabilistic multi-hazard approach ▶     F. Dall'Osso, D. Dominey-Howes, C. Moore et al.     Approximately 85% of Australia's population live along the coastal fringe, an area with high exposure to extreme inundations such as tsunamis. However, to date, no Probabilistic …             Soil nitric oxide emissions from terrestrial ecosystems in China: a synthesis of modeling and measurements ▶     Yong Huang, Dejun Li     Soils are among the major sources of atmospheric nitric oxide (NO), which play a crucial role in atmospheric chemistry. Here we systematically synthesized the modeling studies …             Complete mineralization of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) by γ-irradiation in aqueous solution ▶     Ze Zhang, Jie-Jie Chen, Xian-Jin Lyu et al.     Decomposition of perfluorooctanoic acid (C7F15COOH, PFOA) has been gaining increasing interests because it is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant and resistant to the most …             A chancelloriid-like metazoan from the early Cambrian Chengjiang Lagerstätte, China ▶     Xianguang Hou, Mark Williams, David J. Siveter et al.     Nidelric pugio gen. et sp. nov. from the Cambrian Series 2 Heilinpu Formation, Chengjiang Lagerstätte, Yunnan Province, China, is an ovoid, sac-like metazoan that bears …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Fellow     City University of New York            Associate Research Fellow     University of Exeter            Research Associate (Fixed Term)     University of Cambridge            PhD Fellowship     Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)            postdoctorals positions     University Montpellier 1            Senior Computational Statistician     Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics            Postdoctoral Researcher     Louisiana State University            Postdoctoral Research Assistant     Birkbeck University of London            Postdoctoral Scholar     University of California - San Francisco            Research Technician     Hospital for Special Surgery          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.
