                </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>
