Conflict between insect conservation and public safety: the case study of a saproxylic beetle (Osmoderma eremita) in urban parks

What is it about?

In this paper, we addressed what is the potential of a forest landscape to simultaneously produce habitats for species and economic returns, and how the conflict between habitat availability and timber production varies among taxa. Secondly, we aimed at revealing an optimal combination of management regimes that maximizes habitat availability for given levels of economic returns.
