Abstract:Repeated phenotypes, often referred to as ‘homoplasies’ in cladistic analyses,
may evolve through changes in developmental processes. Genetic bases of
recurrent evolution gained attention and have been studied in the past years
using approaches that combine modern analytical phylogenetic tools with the
stunning assemblage of new information on developmental mechanisms. In this
review, we evaluated the topic under an integrated perspective, revisiting the
classical definitions of convergence and parallelism and… Show more
