Sanderson et al.     Many cases of intercontinental disjunct distributions of seed plants have been investigated, however few have concerned the continents of Eurasia (mainly Central Asia), Africa, …             An 80 kyr-long continuous speleothem record from Dim Cave, SW Turkey with paleoclimatic implications for the Eastern Mediterranean ▶     Ezgi Ünal-İmer, James Shulmeister, Jian-Xin Zhao et al.     Speleothem-based stable isotope records are valuable in sub-humid and semi-arid settings where many other terrestrial climate proxies are fragmentary. The Eastern Mediterranean …             Copper induced oxidative stresses, antioxidant responses and phytoremediation potential of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) ▶     Junren Chen, Mohammad Shafi, Song Li et al.     Moso bamboo is recognized as phytoremediation plant due to production of huge biomass and high tolerance in stressed environment. Hydroponics and pot experiments were conducted …             Reduced greenhouse gas mitigation potential of no-tillage soils through earthworm activity ▶     Ingrid M. Lubbers, Kees Jan van Groenigen, Lijbert Brussaard et al.     Concerns about rising greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations have spurred the promotion of no-tillage practices as a means to stimulate carbon storage and reduce CO2 emissions in …             Water-enhanced Removal of Ciprofloxacin from Water by Porous Graphene Hydrogel ▶     Jie Ma, Mingxuan Yang, Fei Yu et al.     An environmentally benign and efficient hydrothermal reduction method was applied for the preparation of three-dimensional (3D) porous graphene hydrogel (GH) adsorbents. The …             Competition with wind-pollinated plant species alters floral traits of insect-pollinated plant species ▶     Floriane Flacher, Xavier Raynaud, Amandine Hansart et al.     Plant traits related to attractiveness to pollinators (e.g. flowers and nectar) can be sensitive to abiotic or biotic conditions. Soil nutrient availability, as well as …             Granular friction: Triggering large events with small vibrations ▶     Henri Lastakowski, Jean-Christophe Géminard, Valérie Vidal     Triggering large-scale motion by imposing vibrations to a system can be encountered in many situations, from daily-life shaking of saltcellar to silo unclogging or dynamic …             Regional paleofire regimes affected by non-uniform climate, vegetation and human drivers ▶     Olivier Blarquez, Adam A. Ali, Martin P. Girardin et al.     Climate, vegetation and humans act on biomass burning at different spatial and temporal scales. In this study, we used a dense network of sedimentary charcoal records from …             Does the climate warming hiatus exist over the Tibetan Plateau? ▶     Anmin Duan, Zhixiang Xiao     The surface air temperature change over the Tibetan Plateau is determined based on historical observations from 1980 to 2013. In contrast to the cooling trend in the rest of …             δ13C-CH4 reveals CH4 variations over oceans from mid-latitudes to the Arctic ▶     Juan Yu, Zhouqing Xie, Liguang Sun et al.     The biogeochemical cycles of CH4 over oceans are poorly understood, especially over the Arctic Ocean. Here we report atmospheric CH4 levels together with δ13C-CH4 from offshore …             Stable magnesium peroxide at high pressure ▶     Sergey S. Lobanov, Qiang Zhu, Nicholas Holtgrewe et al.     Rocky planets are thought to comprise compounds of Mg and O as these are among the most abundant elements, but knowledge of their stable phases may be incomplete. MgO is known to …             Shifts in the eruptive styles at Stromboli in 2010–2014 revealed by ground-based InSAR data ▶     Federico Di Traglia, Maurizio Battaglia, Teresa Nolesini et al.     Ground-Based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (GBInSAR) is an efficient technique for capturing short, subtle episodes of conduit pressurization in open vent volcanoes …             New ground-based lidar enables volcanic CO2 flux measurements ▶     Alessandro Aiuppa, Luca Fiorani, Simone Santoro et al.     There have been substantial advances in the ability to monitor the activity of hazardous volcanoes in recent decades. However, obtaining early warning of eruptions remains …             The diversity and abundance of As(III) oxidizers on root iron plaque is critical for arsenic bioavailability to rice ▶     Min Hu, Fangbai Li, Chuanping Liu et al.     Iron plaque is a strong adsorbent on rice roots, acting as a barrier to prevent metal uptake by rice. However, the role of root iron plaque microbes in governing metal redox …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Faculty Position     Vanderbilt University            Postdoctoral Scientist positions     John Innes Centre (JIC)            Research Associate (non-tenure track)     Indiana University            Clinical Research Fellow     Plymouth University            Postdoctoral Scientist     Medical Research Council            Research Scientist     The Center For Human Reproduction            3 Granted Postdoc Positions in Cancer Research     Université catholique de Louvain (UCL)            Faculty Position in the Life Sciences     Stowers Institute for Medical Research            Postdoctoral Research Scientist     Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute in Glasgow            PhD Fellowships in Life Sciences     University of Lausanne (UNIL)          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.
