</strong>Given the rapid pace of global biodiversity
loss, a key challenge for ecology and conservation
biology is to develop methods that can predict how
global change drives changes in biodiversity.
Pattern-based models based in spatial macroecology,
including the species-area relationship and species
distribution models, are widely used to relate species
loss to changes in available habitat, particularly when
detailed data on species’ life history traits are not
available. A key shortcoming of these approaches,
however, is that they are often designed to make
predictions for a single location on a landscape, and do
not predict total richness or diversity across a network
of patches. Here, I describe two new approaches that
specifically address this multi-patch question. First, I
describe the results of a nearly decade-long quest to
determine whether and how patterns of spatial scaling
(how diversity in a single plot changes with the area of
that plot - a single patch metric) are fundamentally
related to patterns of spatial turnover (how shared
diversity between two plots changes with the distance
between those plots - a two-patch metric). We have
determined that for individual species, these two
patterns are quantitatively and exactly linked, such
that either pattern can be derived from the other. This
relationship provides insight into the relationship
between alpha and beta diversity and points the way
towards deriving multi-patch variations of species-area
relationships that can predict changes in diversity in
fragmented habitats. Second, I describe new ideas for a
very general, constraint-based approach to species
distribution modeling that is designed to predict the
occurrence of a species simultaneously across many grid
cells. This method is based on a frequentist
interpretation of Jaynes' Maximum Entropy principle and
can be used to predict the conditional occurrence of a
species in a cell given its known presence in other
cells, or the joint occurrence of a species across many
cells simultaneously. We are currently exploring
computational methods for the calculation of these
probabilities in realistically large landscapes.</span></font></font></div>
