Convergent Evolution Photo by: creamofcornishConvergent evolution is the process by which unrelated or distantly related organisms evolve similar adaptations. Organisms displaying these similarities usually live in similar environments, and the force driving convergence is natural selection. Similar environments...

The remains of stadiums, temples, and aqueducts indicate as clearly as any ancient document that the Roman Empire once existed. Likewise, fossils speak eloquently of a time when dinosaurs and not humans dominated Earth. Even without ancient ruins, similarities in appearance, language, customs, and ...
Instructor Lisa Roundy Lisa has taught at all levels from kindergarten to college and has a master's degree in human relations. Learn the similarities and differences between divergent evolution and convergent evolution, and how they created the biodiversity we see in the world around us. ...
This theory focuses on similarities and differences in men’s and women’s mating preferences and strategies. The theory proposes that women have inherited the trait of desiring mates who possess resources. In contrast, men have inherited the trait of desiring health. ...
New Facet of Comparative Anatomy: Modernization in the Way We Compare Species!! With the advent of technology, the way we studied and compared animal species to draw similarities and differences has evolved a lot. The application of“advanced imaging techniques”likeCT scanningand3D modelinghas comp...
A Venn diagram uses multiple overlapping shapes (usually circles) representing sets of various elements. It aims to provide a graphical visualization of elements, highlighting the similarities and differences between them. They are mainly used in set theory and also to illustrate relationships between ...
The acquisition of similar traits by unrelated species as a result of an evolutionary process and not by inheritance from a common ancestor is referred to ashomoplasy(also called homoplasty). The species develop such morphological similarities through time despite the differences in phylogenetic origins...
The relief created at the head (break-away zone) of Statfjord slumping caused renewed slumping of the Brent and Dunlin Groups. A study of gravitational failure analogues demonstrates several similarities in geometry in spite of differences in scale, lithology, degree of consolidation, and ...
