Bibliography format for Nature journal
There seem to be some errors in the Nature journal style when I generate a bibliography:
- "et al." isn't italicized although it should be
- there is a space between the reference numbers and the following period
(e.g. "1 . Pool, W.A. et al. ..."
- journal names should be abbreviated

The et-ail thing requires changes in CSL and Zotero. I hope/expect those will get resolved soon.
The space: are you saying there shouldn't be?
1 . Pool, W.A. et al. Natural sweetening of food products by engineering Lactococcus lactis for glucose production. Metabolic engineering 8, 456-64 (2006).
1 . Pool WA, Neves AR, Kok J, Santos H, Kuipers OP. Natural sweetening of food products by engineering Lactococcus lactis for glucose production. Metab Eng. 2006 Sep ;8(5):456-64.
The journal name is abbreviated for the second bibliography style, but not for the first. For this particular paper, the "publication" and "journal abbr"-fields are filled with the full and abbreviated journal name, respectively.
I now see that also for the NLM-style there is an extra space after the 1. And yes, those spaces shouldn't be there.
If so, then that's a bug in Zotero (and I need to revert the change I just checked in to remove the space after the "."!).

Perhaps it is noteworthy that the Chicago Manual of Style (Note without Bibliography), also a numbering style, doesn't include the space:
