Historical and geological events can impact the genetic structure of species, producing signatures that vary among taxa and among gene pools within taxa. Such signatures can also be affected by local geography and tolerance to environmental conditions. However, disentangling the different drivers of population structure is often difficult. In an attempt to do so, we surveyed two independent gene pools of the same species that followed similar paths of post‐glacial colonization across contrasting landscapes and environmental conditions. We aimed to determine how these differences have affected the post‐glacial population dynamics of each gene pool.
