From: Tradeoffs in the value of biodiversity feature and cost data in conservation prioritization

Figure 3

Cost savings varied widely across conservation targets and occupancy thresholds when including or excluding biodiversity feature data in Marxan-like prioritizations for forest and human-associated species. Restricting the prioritization to only select higher quality habitat (i.e. increasing the occupancy threshold), led to greater cost savings from including biodiversity data. Similarly, higher occupancy targets also led to an increase in the cost savings from including biodiversity data.
