Mosses are important yet neglected components of tropical rain forests. In this study the authors investigated the population genetics and the spatial distribution of genets of Acanthorrhynchium papillatum in the forested areas of Singapore and Western Malaysia using microsatellite markers. Analysis of three microsatellite loci of 42 samples of this moss showed 8, 14 and 16 alleles per locus exhibiting the hyper-variability associated with this class of molecular markers. Their preliminary data show that clumps of A. papillatum are almost entirely composed of clones with few exceptions. However, variability among clumps distributed only a few meters apart is relatively high. More intensive sampling at a finer scale is currently being undertaken to further characterize the relationships of clumps in these populations.
