Mammals have developed some unusual eating habits over the past 100 million years, but a new study has uncovered the ...

Convergent evolution is similar to, but distinguishable from, the phenomena of evolutionary relay and parallel evolution. Evolutionary relay refers to independent species acquiring similar ...

Convergent evolution is when unrelated, or distantly related species from different families, develop similar traits mostly based on their environment.

Carcinization describes how unrelated species evolve similar crab-like bodies through natural selection. With at least five independent cases recorded, researchers are examining what makes this ...

Convergent evolution occurs when organisms that aren’t closely related evolve similar features or behaviours, often as solutions to the same problems. The process can result in matching body shapes, ...

Convergent evolution is when different organisms independently evolve similar traits. Let’s look at dolphins and sharks for a moment. The two animals look relatively similar, ...

Convergent evolution is when similar features that have a similar form or function evolve in species from different periods or regions, despite the last common ancestor of the species not having ...

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team led by Nicole Grunstra from the University of Vienna and Anne Le Maître from the ...
