Since you are a novice you need to know, that you not simply can run the
above command to install Nautilus, instead you at least must run

  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nautilus

The first command updates the information about the available packages.
It's even better if you run

  sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install nautilus

Screenshots should explain what Thunar and Nautilus, file managers are:

It's not recommended for greenhorns to replace 14.04 by 16.04 yet.
Beginners should wait and switch from 14.04 to 16.04.1.
Btw. did you upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 or did you make a fresh
install?

Unfortunately removing Thunar would remove the ubuntustudio-desktop meta
package and you perhaps should keep the meta package, otherwise I would
recommend to remove Thunar, to avoid that you use it by accident,
instead of using the replacement Thunar. A note to the developers,
perhaps it's better to make the depends packages, excepted of packages
such as alsa-base, recommends packages and the recommend packages,
suggests packages.

Anyway, I don't know if a default Ubuntu Studio automatically upgrades,
if not once a day run 

  sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove

at least until 16.04.1 is released.
