Zelnik, Sorin Solomon, Gur Yaari     Ecosystems greatly vary in their species composition and interactions, yet they all show remarkable resilience to external influences. Recent experiments have highlighted the …             RETRACTION: Early magnitude estimation for the MW7.9 Wenchuan earthquake using progressively expanded P-wave time window ▶     Chaoyong Peng, Jiansi Yang, Yu Zheng et al.                 Biomimetic synthesis of struvite with biogenic morphology and implication for pathological biomineralization ▶     Han Li, Qi-Zhi Yao, Yu-Ying Wang et al.     Recent studies have found that certain urinary proteins can efficiently inhibit stone formation. These discoveries are significant for developing effective therapies for stone …             Supplanting ecosystem services provided by scavengers raises greenhouse gas emissions ▶     Zebensui Morales-Reyes, Juan M. Pérez-García, Marcos Moleón et al.     Global warming due to human-induced increments in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) is one of the most debated topics among environmentalists and politicians …             Utilization of different waste proteins to create a novel PGPR-containing bio-organic fertilizer ▶     Yan Huang, Li Sun, Jianshu Zhao et al.     High-quality bio-organic fertilizers (BIOs) cannot be produced without the addition of some proteins, while many waste proteins are haphazardly disposed, causing serious …             Radioactive status of seawater in the northwest Pacific more than one year after the Fukushima nuclear accident ▶     Wu Men, Jianhua He, Fenfen Wang et al.     To understand the impact of Fukushima Nuclear Accident(FNA), eight cruises were performed from 2011-2014.

Kline et al.     Coral reefs globally are declining rapidly because of both local and global stressors. Improved monitoring tools are urgently needed to understand the changes that are occurring …             The community distribution of bacteria and fungi on ancient wall paintings of the Mogao Grottoes ▶     Yantian Ma, He Zhang, Ye Du et al.     In this study, we compared the microbial communities colonising ancient cave wall paintings of the Mogao Grottoes exhibiting signs of biodeterioration. Ten samples were collected …             Landscape cultivation alters δ30Si signature in terrestrial ecosystems ▶     Floor I. Vandevenne, Claire Delvaux, Harold J. Hughes et al.     Despite increasing recognition of the relevance of biological cycling for Si cycling in ecosystems and for Si export from soils to fluvial systems, effects of human cultivation …             Effect of carbonic anhydrase on silicate weathering and carbonate formation at present day CO2 concentrations compared to primordial values ▶     Leilei Xiao, Bin Lian, Jianchao Hao et al.     It is widely recognized that carbonic anhydrase (CA) participates in silicate weathering and carbonate formation. Nevertheless, it is still not known if the magnitude of the …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Research Assistant I     Temple University            Postdoctoral Research Associate     The University of Sheffield            Postdoctoral Research Scientist     Institut de Biologie Structurale            Research Fellow     University of Edinburgh            Post-doctoral position     UBC Heart and Lung Innovation            Junior Group Leader - Integrative Bioinformatics     Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research            Post-doctoral researcher     Trinity College Dublin            Senior Lecturer in Immunology     Umeå University            Post-Doctoral Associate     The University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine            Senior Scientist     Horizon Discovery          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.
