Usage Examples English
- However, there are also "Forced Moves" or "Good Tricks" that will be discovered repeatedly, either by natural selection (see convergent evolution) or human investigation.
- Lychee are similar in foliage to the family Lauraceae, likely due to convergent evolution.
- The biosynthesis of caffeine is an example of convergent evolution among different species.
- Mangroves are taxonomically diverse, as a result of convergent evolution in several plant families.
- Species with this adaptation are widely dispersed in various orders of the phylogenetic tree of bony fishes (Actinopterygii), implying that natural selection has driven the convergent evolution of ultra-blackness camouflage independently many times.
- The resemblances between the groups are due to convergent evolution, reflecting similar contextual development.
- Much of its behavior is more similar to that of a tapir, though this is an effect of convergent evolution.
- Defining tetrapods based on one or two apomorphies can present a problem if these apomorphies were acquired by more than one lineage through convergent evolution.
- Genetic analysis shows lactase persistence has developed several times in different places independently in an example of convergent evolution.
- Nevertheless, they are not closely related to penguins, but rather are believed to be an example of moderate convergent evolution.
- Some species are trees that have similar foliage to the true laurels due to convergent evolution.
- Similar darkness-adaptive traits can be seen in many fish families where members live underground and is known as convergent evolution.
- Scales are quite common and have evolved multiple times through convergent evolution, with varying structure and function.
- The Messelasturidae, some of which were initially believed to be basal Strigiformes, are now generally accepted to be diurnal birds of prey showing some convergent evolution toward owls.
- Researchers have compared it to the genome of the giant panda to learn the genetics of convergent evolution, as both species have false thumbs and are adapted for a specialised bamboo diet despite having the digestive system of a carnivore.
- A few names are given to different types of pili by their function. The classification does not always overlap with the structural or evolutionary-based types, as convergent evolution occurs.
- Some species resemble placental mammals and are examples of convergent evolution.
- Because mongooses and mustelids occupy similar ecological niches, convergent evolution has led to similarity in form and behavior.
- In response to these criticisms, Tim Dinsdale, Peter Scott and Roy Mackal postulate a trapped marine creature that evolved from a plesiosaur directly or by convergent evolution.
- However, a number of subtle anatomical differences coupled with recent molecular evidence now lead researchers to believe that "Plesiorycteropus" is a relative of golden moles and tenrecs that achieved an aardvark-like appearance and ecological niche through convergent evolution.
