Wenger, Tracy D. Ainsworth et al.     Worldwide, increasing coastal development has played a major role in shaping coral reef species assemblages, but the mechanisms underpinning distribution patterns remain poorly …             Accumulation of nanoparticles in “jellyfish” mucus: a bio-inspired route to decontamination of nano-waste ▶     Amit Patwa, Alain Thiéry, Fabien Lombard et al.     The economic and societal impacts of nano-materials are enormous. However, releasing such materials in the environment could be detrimental to human health and the ecological …             Dietary calcium and zinc deficiency risks are decreasing but remain prevalent ▶     Diriba B. Kumssa, Edward J. M. Joy, E. Louise Ander et al.     Globally, more than 800 million people are undernourished while >2 billion people have one or more chronic micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs). More than 6% of global mortality and …             Harbour porpoises react to low levels of high frequency vessel noise ▶     Monika Dyndo, Danuta Maria Wiśniewska, Laia Rojano-Doñate et al.     Cetaceans rely critically on sound for navigation, foraging and communication and are therefore potentially affected by increasing noise levels from human activities at sea. …             Bloodstain Pattern Analysis: implementation of a fluid dynamic model for position determination of victims ▶     Nick Laan, Karla G. de Bruin, Denise Slenter et al.     Bloodstain Pattern Analysis is a forensic discipline in which, among others, the position of victims can be determined at crime scenes on which blood has been shed. To determine …             Carbon accumulation in arid croplands of northwest China: pedogenic carbonate exceeding organic carbon ▶     Xiujun Wang, Jiaping Wang, Minggang Xu et al.     Soil carbonate (SIC) exceeds organic carbon (SOC) greatly in arid lands, thus may be important for carbon sequestration. However, field data for quantifying carbonate …             Soil type recognition as improved by genetic algorithm-based variable selection using near infrared spectroscopy and partial least squares discriminant analysis ▶     Hongtu Xie, Jinsong Zhao, Qiubing Wang et al.     Soil types have traditionally been determined by soil physical and chemical properties, diagnostic horizons and pedogenic processes based on a given classification system. This …             East Asian summer monsoon precipitation variability since the last deglaciation ▶     Fahu Chen, Qinghai Xu, Jianhui Chen et al.     The lack of a precisely-dated, unequivocal climate proxy from northern China, where precipitation variability is traditionally considered as an East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) …             Potential use of fatty acid profiles of the adductor muscle of cockles (Cerastoderma edule) for traceability of collection site ▶     Fernando Ricardo, Tânia Pimentel, Ana S. P. Moreira et al.     Geographic traceability of seafood is key for controlling its quality and safeguarding consumers’ interest. The present study assessed if the fatty acid (FA) profile of the …             Distribution of petroleum degrading genes and factor analysis of petroleum contaminated soil from the Dagang Oilfield, China ▶     Qinglong Liu, Jingchun Tang, Zhihui Bai et al.     Genes that encode for enzymes that can degrade petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) are critical for the ability of microorganisms to bioremediate soils contaminated with PHs. …             Oxygen anomaly in near surface carbon dioxide reveals deep stratospheric intrusion ▶     Mao-Chang Liang, Sasadhar Mahata     Stratosphere-troposphere exchange could be enhanced by tropopause folding, linked to variability in the subtropical jet stream. Relevant to tropospheric biogeochemistry is …             Chimpanzee drumming: a spontaneous performance with characteristics of human musical drumming ▶     Valérie Dufour, Nicolas Poulin, Charlotte Curé et al.     Despite the quintessential role that music plays in human societies by enabling us to release and share emotions with others, traces of its evolutionary origins in other species …             Continental drift and climate change drive instability in insect assemblages ▶     Fengqing Li, José Manuel Tierno de Figueroa, Sovan Lek et al.     Global change has already had observable effects on ecosystems worldwide, and the accelerated rate of global change is predicted in the future. However, the impacts of global …             Gas hydrate inhibition by perturbation of liquid water structure ▶     Jeong-Hoon Sa, Gye-Hoon Kwak, Kunwoo Han et al.     Natural gas hydrates are icy crystalline materials that contain hydrocarbons, which are the primary energy source for this civilization. The abundance of naturally occurring gas …             The peatlands developing history in the Sanjiang Plain, NE China, and its response to East Asian monsoon variation ▶     Zhenqing Zhang, Wei Xing, Guoping Wang et al.     Studying the peatlands accumulation and carbon (C) storage in monsoonal areas could provide useful insights into the response of C dynamics to climate variation in the geological …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       PhD Student     Universität Basel            Postdoctoral Fellow     University of Maryland School of Medicine            Postdoctoral Research Fellow     University of Leeds            PhD student     KU Leuven, Laboratory of Clinical and Experimental Endocrinology             Bioinformatician     University of Glasgow            Postdoctoral Researchers     John Innes Centre (JIC)            Postdoctoral position     Lund University            Research Associate     The University of Sheffield            Research Assistant Professor     University of Pennsylvania            Postdoctoral Scholar     The University of Iowa          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.
