COVER PHOTO: The Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) of southeastern Australia is world‐renowned for its spectacular courtship displays, as shown in the cover image. Lesser known is the lyrebird’s role in moderating litter and soil habitats, caused by the extensive foraging pits dug on the forest floor while searching for invertebrates. Maisey et al. (this issue; Article e02219; doi:10.1002/eap.2219) show that lyrebirds alter litter depth and soil compaction, and displace more material, per unit area, than for any other animal recorded in terrestrial ecosystems, worldwide.

封面图片：澳大利亚东南部的一流Lyrebird（Menura novaehollandiae）因其壮观的求爱表演而享誉世界，如封面图像所示。鲜为人知的是，在寻找无脊椎动物的过程中，lyrebird在森林和地面上栖息的大量觅食坑引起的凋落物和土壤栖息地的调节作用。Maisey等。（此问题；第e02219条； doi：10.1002 / eap.2219）表明，与全世界陆地生态系统中记录的任何其他动物相比，竖琴鸟会改变垃圾深度和土壤紧实度，并在单位面积上置换更多的物质。图片来源：Alex Maisey。
