While environmental conditions are reported as important determinants of cytotype distribution patterns in some mixed‐ploidy plant species, in others they seem to play no role. One reason for such inconsistency might be how and at what spatial scale the ecology of different cytotypes is compared. To address this issue, we selected a single plant species and adopted several complementary approaches to assess ecological requirements of cytotypes across wide‐range of spatial scales that included locally-sampled vegetation data and climatic niche modelling. In the model species, Tripleurospermum inodorum, climate is an important driver of cytotype distribution patterns at continental scale, however, at finer scales within the contact zone, the founder effect and non‐random migration patterns caused by human activities seem to be more important than environmental heterogeneity. Cytotype distribution patterns thus may be shaped by multiple environmental forces, each operating at a different spatial scale. We also point out that the use of independent replicates and/or across‐scale comparisons can significantly improve the performance of ecological niche assessments.
