On the Cover: Right whale calf of the 2020–2021 calving season and mother. The right whale population has exhibited an unusually high mortality rate since 2017, cumulatively losing an unprecedented number of adult whales to ship strikes and fishing gear entanglement. Today, it is estimated that there are fewer than 360 right whales remaining globally. See Meyer-Gutbrod et al. (2021, in this issue) for details.
