The extent of genetic variation and dispersal mechanisms were investigated over short distances of 1-100 m, and up to 3 km, by the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique, for the moss Sarconeurum glaciale, at three locations on Ross Island, Antarctica. At Arrival Heights, genetic variatio...
