Abstract
⺠We present a new protection function to aid spatial reserve design. ⺠We show how the function can be embedded in standard reserve selection models. ⺠To illustrate the concept, we apply the models to bat conservation. ⺠We find diminishing marginal returns on conservation investments. ⺠Optimal site selection is sensitive to the relative importance of habitat elements.
