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.
