A metacommunity refers to a set of local communities that are linked by the dispersal of multiple species, which may interact with each other. A metapopulation is a smaller subset of a metacommunity, referring specifically to populations of a single species that are connected by dispersal. Ecotone is a transition zone between different ecosystems, and an archipelago refers to a group of islands.
