Convergent evolution, the process where unrelated species evolve similar traits due to similar environmental pressures, wasn't "discovered" by a single individual. The concept began to take shape in the 19th century, particularly through the work of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, who explored the idea of adaptation in response to environmental challenges. The term itself was more formally defined in the 20th century as evolutionary Biology developed further.
One example of convergent evolution among the Caminalcules is the evolution of leaf-like structures in different lineages that have adapted to a similar environment. Despite starting from different ancestral forms, these organisms have independently evolved leaf-like structures to maximize surface area for photosynthesis, showing convergent evolution.
The evolutionary process that produces analogous structures is called convergent evolution. Convergent evolution refers to the independent evolution of similar traits in species that are not closely related, usually in response to similar environmental pressures.
Convergent evolution is the pattern of evolution where two unrelated species develop similar traits due to similar environmental pressures. This can lead to analogous structures in different species that serve the same function, even though they do not share a common evolutionary origin.
It's homoplasy.
Convergent evolution is when two unrelated species develop similar traits due to adapting to similar environments. Divergent evolution is when two species with a common ancestor develop different traits due to adapting to different environments. Parallel evolution is when two related species independently develop similar traits due to adapting to similar environments, but they do share a recent common ancestor.
Convergent evolution means that different species have evolved to do the same sort of thing. Those two animals show convergent evolution. Convergent evolution explains why they look so much alike.
Convergent evolution, or convergence theory.
Evolution and convergent evolution both involve changes in organisms over time. However, convergent evolution specifically refers to the independent evolution of similar traits in unrelated species in response to similar environmental challenges.

Yes, with ducks.
Convergent evolution.
The process is called "adaptation."
No. Both are birds and their wings are a derived trait common to all birds. The wings of penguins and bats display convergent evolution.
