Yerba mate, along with tea and coffee, is one of the world's most popular caffeinated beverages. Widely consumed in South ...

Phenotypic convergence, the appearance of similar forms in independent lineages, provides an opportunity for testing the predictability of genetic evolution. Similar phenotypes in different lineages ...

Imagine finding life beyond Earth—would it be familiar or completely alien? This video explores the science of convergent evolution, offering insights into how life might evolve across the cosmos.

This is evidence that quite separate, independent episodes of molecular evolution occurred, with the same functional results. This is a dramatic example of convergent evolution, when organisms ...

It should also improve our understanding of convergent evolution. Elongated body shapes have evolved independently numerous times across the tree of life. Besides Anguilliformes, other clades with eel ...

Genetic researcher Nathan Clark spoke about research his team at the University of Pittsburgh conducted on evolutionary ...

Analysis of the yerba mate plant genome reveals that caffeine was key for the evolution of its metabolic complexity and ...

Are these similarities the result of convergent evolution, or do they reflect a shared evolutionary origin? Scalidophorans, which include priapulids, loriciferans, and kinorhynchs, first appeared ...
