So nice that two different species of pygmy possum \u2013 the common western pygmy-possum and the rarer and much smaller little pygmy-possum \u2013 call the island home. The little pygmy-possum weighs just around one-quarter of an ounce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Part of the island\u2019s appeal was the abundance of hollowed-out tree trunks available where these small arboreal marsupials could make their homes. But their numbers were small. There were only 113 formal recordings of the little pygmy-possum on Kangaroo Island before a devastating event nearly wiped the species out.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Fires That Changed Everything<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The 2019-2020 <a href=\"https:\/\/a-z-animals.com\/articles\/australias-black-summer-killed-or-displaced-3-billion-animals-and-some-species-may-never-fully-recover\/?utm_campaign=feed&amp;utm_source=rss_feed&amp;utm_medium=in_content&amp;utm_content=1582630\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Black Summer bushfires;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Black Summer bushfires&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Black Summer bushfires<\/a> devastated Kangaroo Island. The fires swept across the island and raged for six weeks. They were some of the most destructive in Australia\u2019s recorded history. When the fires were finally extinguished, it was estimated that up to 88 percent of the little pygmy-possums\u2019 habitat on the island had been wiped out.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Pygmy possums spend much of their time climbing in bushes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright\">\u00a9Ken Griffiths\/Shutterstock.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Most conservationists believed the species had been eliminated altogether.

During a post-fire survey, the conservation group collected nearly 200 living animals from the ashes \u2013 one of them was a little pygmy-possum. Somehow, the tiny species had survived the fires.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Discovery Was Just the Beginning<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Finding the single little pygmy-possum was a great start, and researchers suspected there were at least a few more they hadn\u2019t found.

Each box had a circular entrance, either 20 mm or 16 mm in diameter. Once the boxes were installed, one problem became apparent. While the boxes were intended to help the little pygmy-possum population, the larger common pygmy-possums were actually moving in, regardless of entrance size. The little pygmy-possums were literally left out in the cold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It turns out that the original boxes easily allowed the larger pygmy-possum species to enter. While this species was also affected by the fires, it was not at risk of extinction. The smaller pygmy-possums were the ones in need of assistance.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Solution Required a Tiny Change<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To solve the problem of the larger pygmy-possum squatters, the project team came up with a plan. They would make the box openings smaller. The researchers experimented with new nest boxes featuring entrances that were 15 mm wide \u2013 just one millimeter smaller than before. The test boxes were placed in a part of Kangaroo Island where little pygmy-possums had been spotted. When researchers later checked the 15 mm opening boxes, they discovered that only little pygmy-possums had moved in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe findings mean that technically it may be possible to exclude western pygmy-possums to benefit little pygmy-possums using boxes with entrances just one millimeter smaller,\u201d Petit said in the press release. \u201cBut more research is needed with larger sample sizes, which is always difficult to achieve when one works with rare species.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She also noted that researchers are unsure whether little pygmy-possums can successfully reproduce in boxes with smaller openings, or if these tiny marsupials can coexist with other species that may also use the boxes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Threat From Other Species<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One such species is the Kangaroo Island dunnart, a carnivorous marsupial that is both larger and fiercer than the little pygmy-possum. The species was also hit hard by the fires.
