OBS

It seems desirable to retain the word population for collections of genetically distinct organisms and to coin a modified term for aggregations of parts that comprise, or are derived from, a single genetic individual. The term metapopulation is suggested ... in the context of this review it is used to imply the shared elements that make up the morphological structure of a genetic individual, by whatever means these elements are defined.
