Copepod manipulation of oil droplet size distribution [PDF]
AbstractOil spills are one of the most dangerous sources of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Owing to their pivotal position in the food web, pelagic copepods can provide crucial intermediary transferring oil between trophic levels. In this study we show that the calanoidParacartia granican actively modify the size-spectrum of oil droplets.

Do oil price increases cause higher food prices? [PDF]
U.S. retail food price increases in recent years may seem large in nominal terms, but after adjusting for inflation have been quite modest even after the change in U.S. biofuel policies in 2006. In contrast, increases in the real prices of corn, soybeans,
