AB The term meta-archipelago has been in use in culturalstudies for some time, to refer to certain complex island areas in whichthe boundaries between conventionally recognised archipelagos areindistinct, although the concept also carries additional connotations.Use of the term in biogeography appears more recent and withouteffort to prescribe its meaning. We outline, from a biogeographicalperspective, distinctions between meta-archipelagos and archipelagosand those islands not occurring within either collective grouping,highlighting that network analysis tools provide metrics for formalanalytical purposes.
