Genomic and functional evidence reveals convergent evolution in fishes on the Tibetan Plateau

Molecular Ecology, 2021
High‐altitude environments are strong drivers of adaptive evolution in endemic organisms. However, little is known about the genetic mechanisms of convergent adaptation among different lineages, especially in fishes.

CONVERGENT EVOLUTION IN INVERTEBRATES

Biological Reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1997
ABSTRACTResemblance between animal taxa may be due to convergence rather than to recent common ancestry. Constraints on biological materials and adaptation to particular habits or habitats will produce widespread convergence. How may we distinguish the two causes of resemblance?

Convergent evolution of cytokines

Nature, 1999
Functional analogues of vertebrate inflammatory cytokines have been described in a variety of invertebrates1. The analogy is based mainly on the crossreactivity of antibodies elicited against vertebrate cytokines, the sensitivity of invertebrate immunocytes to the action of vertebrate cytokines, and the responsiveness of vertebrate immune cells to ...

Osteophytes: The product of convergent evolution

The Anatomical Record, 2021
AbstractThe very reasonable suggestion, that diarthrodial joint and juxta‐discal (vertebral centra‐marginal) bony overgrowths (referred to as osteophytes) have different etiologies, has eluded previous confirmation. The prevailing perspective is that diarthrodial osteophytes represent the product of compressive forces and that those on the margins of ...

The genetic causes of convergent evolution

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2013
The evolution of phenotypic similarities between species, known as convergence, illustrates that populations can respond predictably to ecological challenges. Convergence often results from similar genetic changes, which can emerge in two ways: the evolution of similar or identical mutations in independent lineages, which is termed parallel evolution ...

Convergent evolution of gene circuits

Nature Genetics, 2003
Convergent evolution is a potent indicator of optimal design. We show here that convergent evolution occurs in genetic networks. Specifically, we show that multiple types of transcriptional regulation circuitry in Escherichia coli and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have evolved independently and not by duplication of one or a few ancestral circuits.
