Divergent evolution or divergent selection is the accumulation of differences between closely related populations within a species, sometimes leading to...

traits tend to evolve from having similar environmental pressures. Divergent evolution is the process of speciation. This can happen in several ways: Allopatric...

selection represents a primary factor for genital evolution. Male genitalia show traits of divergent evolution that are driven by sexual selection. The visible...

convergence is divergent evolution, where related species evolve different traits. Convergent evolution is similar to parallel evolution, which occurs...

similarity is strong evidence that two sequences are related by divergent evolution from a common ancestor. Alignments of multiple sequences are used...

Parallel evolution is the similar development of a trait in distinct species that are not closely related, but share a similar original trait in response...

Human evolution is the evolutionary process within the history of primates that led to the emergence of Homo sapiens as a distinct species of the hominid...

well as divergent evolution of function (and even the triad's nucleophile), catalytic triads show some of the best examples of convergent evolution. Chemical...

economics and evolution of nectar-eating species; for example, nectar foraging behavior is largely responsible for the divergent evolution of the African...

drift apart into two divergent populations with different sets of alleles. According to the neutral theory of molecular evolution most evolutionary changes...

species in the lineage at any point in time, as opposed to cases where divergent evolution produces contemporary species with a common ancestor. The related...

largest example, is usually considered an island of Africa, but its divergent evolution has caused it to be referred to as "the eighth continent" from a...

evolved during the Pleistocene from the ancestral brown bear through divergent evolution. Sloth bears breed during spring and early summer and give birth...

preferences are widely recognized as being responsible for the rapid and divergent evolution of male secondary sex characteristics. In 1915, Ronald Fisher wrote:...

gradual spreading of organisms with adaptive radiation is known as divergent evolution. Taxonomy is based on the fact that all organisms are related to...

Divergent thinking is a thought process used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. It typically occurs in a spontaneous, free-flowing...

SINEs are often lineage specific, making them useful markers of divergent evolution between species. Copy number variation and mutations in the SINE...
