Abstract
COVER PHOTO: In The Scientific Naturalist section of this issue, Lai et al. (Article e4470; doi: 10.1002/ecy.4470) document the Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) foraging for nectar from the Ethiopian red hot poker (Kniphofia foliosa) in the Bale Mountains of southern Ethiopia. Therophily—the pollination of plants by non-flying mammals—plays an important role in pollination with up to 87% of flowering plants depending on a wide variety of animal species for their pollination. Examples of carnivore species foraging for nectar are continuing to be discovered and present future opportunities for research of lesser-known pollen vectors. The cover image from Figure 1 in their paper depicts an Ethiopian wolf nectar foraging in a large Ethiopian red hot poker field of the Web Valley, Bale Mountains National Park, Ethiopia.

期刊介绍:
Ecology publishes articles that report on the basic elements of ecological research. Emphasis is placed on concise, clear articles documenting important ecological phenomena. The journal publishes a broad array of research that includes a rapidly expanding envelope of subject matter, techniques, approaches, and concepts: paleoecology through present-day phenomena; evolutionary, population, physiological, community, and ecosystem ecology, as well as biogeochemistry; inclusive of descriptive, comparative, experimental, mathematical, statistical, and interdisciplinary approaches.
