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 ...

This video breaks down the difference between convergent and divergent evolution and explains how shared traits can arise in ...

Convergent evolution is the concept by which organisms independently develop mechanisms to adapt to the same, or similar, selective pressures. Classic examples include the evolution of camera-like ...

Convergent evolution—where distinct species independently evolve similar traits or functions, such as the wings of birds and bats—has long fascinated biologists. Now, a research team led by Prof. Zou ...

In a recent study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server, an international team of researchers presented a detailed account of the unique evolutionary trajectory of the severe acute respiratory ...

Researchers identified the proteins of a CO2-fixing organelle, namely, 'pyrenoid,' in the marine algal group Chlorarachniophyta and revealed various pyrenoid-associated proteins among algal groups, ...

As an example of convergent evolution, it seemed SARS-CoV-2 was finding certain mutations universally successful. Marc Johnson, a microbiologist from the University of Missouri, was among the first ...
