Cover illustration. Collared pika (Ochotona collaris) is caught mid‐leap on a foraging bout by wildlife photographer Moose Peterson. In this issue of the Journal of Morphology Reese, Lanier, and Sargis study whether postcranial features related to burrowing are present in meadow‐dwelling species and whether talus‐dwelling species (like the one on the cover) exhibit postcranial modifications related to frequent leaping between rocks (pages 585–602).
