evolució convergent 
Independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages; creates analogous structures.
1
Unlike homoplasy, analogy offers an alternative theory as to the basis of the resemblance in question.
2
These independently evolved, but historically constrained, similarities-wewould now call them parallelisms-defineLankester's original concept of homoplasy.
3
These include compositional heterogeneity and homoplasy, which can lead to the spurious grouping of compositionally-similar or fast-evolving sequences.
4
Phylogenetic reconstruction using molecular data is often subject to homoplasy, leading to inaccurate conclusions about phylogenetic relationships among operational taxonomic units.
5
We concluded that SNPs and hypervariable VNTR loci are helpful to enhance the discriminatory power and decrease the VNTR homoplasy effect for defining clusters.
1
Or an example of convergent evolution across species and forms of being?
2
Therefore, scorpion and sea anemone toxins offer an example of mechanistic convergent evolution.
3
Phenotypic characteristics that suggested its relationship with mimids are the product of convergent evolution.
4
We shall return to convergent evolution later in the book, after properly understanding natural selection.
5
This may be indicative of commonality of origin of the two viruses or convergent evolution.
6
And striking examples of convergent evolution do exist.
7
Elvis taxa appear to be descendants of an older lineage but are actually morphologically similar through convergent evolution.
8
Past inclusion in the plain long-nosed squirrels (Dremomys) reflects convergent evolution between these high elevation species.
9
These results suggest a convergent evolution in the mechanism of E. coli and mycobacterial IHF in DNA compaction.
10
The convergent evolution of similar structures fulfills, at least imperfectly, the criterion of independent replication that any experiment requires.
11
Sesquipiperitol, a so-far-unknown compound in animals, also occurs in plants, indicating convergent evolution in the biosynthesis of this sesquiterpene.
12
The related iron ligation pattern of hydrogenases exemplifies convergent evolution and presumably plays an essential role in H2 activation.
13
These similarities represent convergent evolution to a common solution of the problem of enforcing transamination chemistry on the PLP cofactor.
14
Parallel or convergent evolution at the molecular level has been difficult to demonstrate especially when rigorous statistical criteria are applied.
15
Conclusions: The lack of geographical resolution among MLVA genotypes suggests rapid dispersal, convergent evolution or a combination of the two.
16
Insular ecosystems share analogous ecological conditions, leading to patterns of convergent evolution that are collectively termed as the 'island syndrome'.
