bioRxiv, 2023 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) XBB lineages have achieved dominance worldwide and keep on evolving. Convergent evolution of XBB lineages on the receptor-binding domain (RBD) L455F and F456L is observed, resulting in variants

Convergent evolution of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron subvariants leading to the emergence of BQ.1.1 variant
bioRxiv, 2022 Recent Omicron SARS-CoV-2 subvariants independently acquire 5 key Spike mutations. Here, the authors evaluate the evolutionary importance of the 5 mutations and characterize the virological properties of variant BQ.1.1 harboring all 5 mutations.

Convergent evolution in the Euarchontoglires [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2018 Convergence—the independent evolution of similar phenotypes in distantly related clades—is a widespread and much-studied phenomenon. An often-cited, but hitherto untested, case of morphological convergence is that between the aye-aye and squirrels. The aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a highly unusual lemuriform primate that has evolved a ...

Cartography: Innateness or Convergent Cultural Evolution?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Haspelmath argues that linguists who conduct comparative research and try to explain patterns that are general across languages can only consider two sources of these patterns: convergent cultural evolution of languages, which provides functional ...

medRxiv, 2021 The emergence and rapid rise in prevalence of three independent SARS-CoV-2 '501Y lineages', B.1.1.7, B.1.351 and P.1, in the last three months of 2020 has prompted renewed concerns about the evolutionarily capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to adapt to both rising ...

Convergent evolution in the supercoiling of prokaryotic flagellar filaments
Cell, 2022 SUMMARY The supercoiling of bacterial and archaeal flagellar filaments is required for motility. Archaeal flagellar filaments have no homology to their bacterial counterparts and are instead homologs of bacterial type IV pili.

Convergent evolution of toxin resistance in animals
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2022 Convergence is the phenomenon whereby similar phenotypes evolve independently in different lineages. One example is resistance to toxins in animals. Toxins have evolved many times throughout the tree of life.

Convergent evolution of bacterial ceramide synthesis
Nature Chemical Biology, 2021 Bacteria synthesize numerous types of sphingolipids with various physiological functions. Despite their roles in mediating host inflammation, cellular differentiation, and protection from environmental stress, their biosynthetic pathway remains undefined
