Cover image: Red‐eyed treefrog metamorph, recently emerged from the water. Long guts induced by tadpole competition in ponds persist through metamorphosis, despite extreme gut shortening and extensive remodeling. These long guts help small froglets maintain high feeding rates and grow faster than larger froglets that emerged from less competitive larval environments. Photograph: Karen M. Warkentin.
