In order to assess the effects of polyploidisation on distribution patterns of species in a polyploid complex, we compared potential and actual distribution ranges of representatives from the genus Leucanthemum Mill, (Compositae, Anthemideae), which occur on the Iberian Peninsula with 20 taxa spanning ploidy levels between 2n = 2x = 18 and 2n = 22x = 198. Actual distribution ranges of taxa were derived from geo-referenced herbarium specimens by defining buffer circles around the collection localities to account for geographical uncertainties and haphazardness of specimen collecting. Eco-climatologically potential ranges were modelled with the maximum entropy method (Maxent) based on the actual distributions. By comparison of sizes of realised and eco-climatologically potential areas for each taxon we computed taxon-specific overlap indices that express the filling of eco-climatological niches. The correlation between overlap indices and ploidy levels was tested by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. We observed a significant negative correlation between ploidy level and sizes of realised distribution ranges and no significant correlation of ploidy level and sizes of potential ranges. Finally, we found that diploid and low-ploidy taxa are filling their potential eco-climatological distribution ranges more exhaustively than highly polyploid taxa. Assuming that ascending polyploidisation is the prevailing mode compared to descending polyploidisation, our results demonstrate that the distribution patterns of members of the Leucanthemum polyploid complex on the Iberian Peninsula are mainly influenced by the age of taxa and not by ecological advantages, or disadvantages connected with polyploidy.
