  abstract = {{S}pecies distribution models ({SDM}s) provide robust inferences about species-specific site suitability and are increasingly used in systematic conservation planning ({SCP}). {SDM}s are subjected to intrinsic uncertainties, and conservation studies have generally overlooked these. {T}he integration of {SDM} uncertainties in conservation solutions requires the development of a suitable optimization algorithm. {E}xact optimization algorithms grant efficiency to conservation solutions, but most of their implementations generate a single binary and indivisible solution. {T}herefore, without variation in their parameterization, they provide low flexibility in the implementation of conservation solutions by stakeholders. {C}ontrarily, heuristic algorithms provide such flexibility, by generating large amounts of sub-optimal solutions. {A}s a consequence, efficiency and flexibility are implicitly linked in conservation applications: mathematically efficient solutions provide less flexibility, and the flexible solutions provided by heuristics are sub-optimal. {T}o avoid this trade-off between flexibility and efficiency in {SCP}, we propose a reserve-selection framework, based on exact optimization combined with a post-selection of {SDM} outputs. {T}his reserve-selection framework provides flexibility and addresses the efficiency and representativeness of conservation solutions. {T}o exemplify the approach, we analyzed an experimental design, crossing pre- and post-selection of {SDM} outputs versus heuristics and exact mathematical optimizations. {W}e used the {M}editerranean {S}ea as a biogeographical template for our analyses, integrating the outputs of eight {SDM} techniques for 438 fish species.},
