Researchers tracked possum populations at three sites in Dunedin to get a sense of how tightly packed possums might be in an urban setting. Charlotte Patterson, a biodiversity ranger at the Department of Conservation and the study s lead author, says with the country s ambitious goal of being predator-free by 2050, it s vital we learn more about possum populations all over the country.

CNN reports researchers estimated there would have been about 279,000 additional coronavirus-related deaths by the end of June had vaccines not been administered. Around 1.25 million people would also likely have been hospitalized were it not for the vaccines. If the vaccination rate had been half as fast as it has been, then an additional 121,000 may have died and 450,000 people would have hospitalized, according to the researchers.
