New methods to assess the variation in species composition among biological assemblages (i.e. beta diversity) provide novel avenues to investigate the drivers of biodiversity. Further insights can be gained from integrating the evolutionary layer in macroecological analyses, using molecular phylogenies in combination with novel methods to quantify dissimilarity among assemblages.
