Trade-offs with other goals exist, but joint optimization across multiple goals helps minimize them. 🌍
Regional strategies are essential.
Our study shows: multi-goal, cost-effective management is both ecologically & economically viable.

Using data from the #BExplo, the study optimized management for plants & butterflies 🦋 in 2 regions.
👉 With only 30% of the budget, up to 80% of the maximum achievable in the ecological optimizations can be reached - if cost-effectiveness is prioritized.

📉 Results: Pollinators face persistent land-use pressure, affecting morphology & abundance.

Bumblebee body size ↓ with local land-use, ↑ with floral resources.
Syrphid fly body size ↓ with landscape-level land-use & was temp-sensitive.
Abundance: Bumblebees ↓, syrphid flies ↑ with local land-use.
