Front Cover: Philippe J. R. Kok et al. explored the dietary composition of two tepui summit endemic toads of the genus Oreophrynella living on neighboring mountains. The diet composition was surprisingly diverse for small toads living in such hostile and supposedly depauperate environments. Despite occurring on two different tepui summits, both studied species exhibited a similar diet, and the present data suggest that Oreophrynella summit species are flexible feeders and active foragers that also feed on aquatic arthropods, successful strategies in tepui competitive environments.
