These particles will ultimately enter …             Enhanced cellular preservation by clay minerals in 1 billion-year-old lakes ▶     David Wacey, Martin Saunders, Malcolm Roberts et al.     Organic-walled microfossils provide the best insights into the composition and evolution of the biosphere through the first 80 percent of Earth history. The mechanism of …             Antarctic-wide array of high-resolution ice core records reveals pervasive lead pollution began in 1889 and persists today ▶     J. R. McConnell, O. J. Maselli, M. Sigl et al.     Interior Antarctica is among the most remote places on Earth and was thought to be beyond the reach of human impacts when Amundsen and Scott raced to the South Pole in 1911. Here …             Identifying recycled ash in basaltic eruptions ▶     Claudia D'Oriano, Antonella Bertagnini, Raffaello Cioni et al.     Deposits of mid-intensity basaltic explosive eruptions are characterized by the coexistence of different types of juvenile clasts, which show a large variability of external …             Effects of water stratification and mixing on microbial community structure in a subtropical deep reservoir ▶     Zheng Yu, Jun Yang, Stefano Amalfitano et al.     Microorganisms play pivotal roles within aquatic ecosystems, affecting their structure, functioning and services. However, little is known about the effects of water …             Hf-Nd isotopic variability in mineral dust from Chinese and Mongolian deserts: implications for sources and dispersal ▶     Wancang Zhao, Youbin Sun, William Balsam et al.     Mineral dust provenances are closely related to the orogenic processes which may have distinct Hf-Nd isotopic signatures. Here we report the clay-sized (<2 μm) Hf-Nd isotope data …             Community structure of planktonic methane-oxidizing bacteria in a subtropical reservoir characterized by dominance of phylotype closely related to nitrite reducer ▶     Hisaya Kojima, Riho Tokizawa, Kouhei Kogure et al.     Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) gain energy from the oxidation of methane and may play important roles in freshwater ecosystems. In this study, the community structure of …             Spatial-temporal variation of marginal land suitable for energy plants from 1990 to 2010 in China ▶     Dong Jiang, Mengmeng Hao, Jingying Fu et al.     Energy plants are the main source of bioenergy which will play an increasingly important role in future energy supplies. With limited cultivated land resources in China, the …             Low blood cell counts in wild Japanese monkeys after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster ▶     Kazuhiko Ochiai, Shin-ichi Hayama, Sachie Nakiri et al.     In April 2012 we carried out a 1-year hematological study on a population of wild Japanese monkeys inhabiting the forest area of Fukushima City. This area is located 70 km from …             Incorporation of aurochs into a cattle herd in Neolithic Europe: single event or breeding? ▶     Jörg Schibler, Julia Elsner, Angela Schlumbaum     Domestication is an ongoing process continuously changing the lives of animals and humans and the environment. For the majority of European cattle (Bos taurus) genetic and …             Late Eocene to early Oligocene quantitative paleotemperature record: Evidence from continental halite fluid inclusions ▶     Yan-jun Zhao, Hua Zhang, Cheng-lin Liu et al.     Climate changes within Cenozoic extreme climate events such as the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum and the First Oligocene Glacial provide good opportunities to estimate the …             Nitrogen Deprivation Induces Lipid Droplet Accumulation and Alters Fatty Acid Metabolism in Symbiotic Dinoflagellates Isolated from Aiptasia pulchella ▶     Li-Chi Weng, Buntora Pasaribu, I. -Ping Lin et al.     The stability of cnidarian-dinoflagellate (genus Symbiodinium spp.) endosymbioses depends on the regulation of nutrient transport between Symbiodinium populations and their hosts. …             Electrical conductivity of ice VII ▶     Taku Okada, Toshiaki Iitaka, Takehiko Yagi et al.     It was discovered that a peak appears near a pressure of Pc=10 GPa in the electrical conductivity of ice VII as measured through impedance spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Fellow     Baylor College of Medicine (BCM)            PhD Position     Otto-Von-Guericke University Magdeburg            Research Fellow     University of Exeter            Junior Research / Travel Fellowships 2015     The Kay Kendall Leukaemia Fund            Research Associate     University of Massachusetts            PhD Student Positions     Medical University of Graz, Austria            University Research Fellowship     The Royal Society            Postdoctoral Fellowship     Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai            Two Postdoctoral Positions     University of Copenhagen            Dean, School of Energy and Environment     City University of Hong Kong          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.
