1. Tongues of chameleons and amphibians
   [p]Convergence in tongue function represents repeated morphological exploration within different lineages made possible by loss of an ancestral functional constraint[/p]

2. Hummingbirds, sunbirds and honeyeaters
   One of the most well known examples of convergence among birds is between hummingbirds, sunbirds and honeyeaters, all of which are small, dominantly nectar-feeding birds.

3. Suction feeding in fish, amphibians, reptiles and aquatic mammals
   Probably everyone is familiar with the walrus, but did you know that it generates a vacuum in its mouth to suck clams out of their shells? And this is just one example of suction feeding, the feeding mode typically used by bony fish…

4. Birds: insights into convergence
   Intriguing ecological and morphological parallels can be found among the Neoaves. Many of these forms were initially believed to be each other's closest relatives, but are now widely recognised as classic examples of convergence. Think how similar swifts and swallows are, but they are only distantly related.

5. Hummingbirds and hummingbirdoid moths
   Like other birds hummingbirds are warm-blooded, but so independently are the hawk-moths, which like a number of insects have evolved thermoregulation.

6. Octopus arm function
   If you want to see a truly remarkable example of convergence, then present an octopus with a piece of food and have a high-speed camera ready…
