The cover of HR 56(1) features an image of Coluber constrictor etheridgei that was photographed by Clint Guadiana from east Texas, USA. This species is a diurnal predator that relies heavily on speed and visual hunting to capture a wide range of prey, including insects, small mammals, lizards, and other snakes. They play an important mid-trophic role by linking invertebrate and vertebrate communities and by serving as prey for raptors and larger mammals.
