Learn how organisms that are not closely related can evolve similar features or behaviours due to natural selection. Discover 13 fascinating examples of convergent evolution, from sharks and dolphins to octopuses and squids.
27 Απρ 2017 · Learn what convergent evolution is and see examples of how different organisms evolve similar features independently. Explore how wings, gliding, mimicry and other adaptations can result from convergent evolution.
Convergent evolution is the repeated evolution of similar traits in different lineages that lack the trait in their common ancestor. The web page lists many examples of convergent evolution in animals, plants, fungi, and biochemical pathways, with references and images.
17 Ιαν 2020 · 10 classic examples of convergent evolution, the process by which different animals in similar ecosystems evolve the same general body plan.
23 Ιουλ 2024 · Learn how unrelated species can evolve similar features to adapt to the same ecological niche. See how birds and bats, flying lemurs and sugar gliders, dolphins and sharks, and more have converged on flight, gliding, swimming, and carnivory.
31 Οκτ 2023 · Learn how different species can evolve similar traits independently of each other due to natural selection. See examples of convergent evolution in wings, eyes, and body shapes, and how they differ from parallel and divergent evolution.
Learn about the independent evolution of similar features in different species, such as flight, C 4 photosynthesis, and seed dispersal. Find out the differences between convergence, parallel evolution, and homoplasy, and see examples from biochemistry and molecular biology.
