1. Developmental genetic pathways to convergence
   At first sight there is a fairly simple dichotomy between convergent features that have effectively the same genetic basis, and those where the same feature emerges but the underlying genetics are different. The former, however, is somewhat more complicated...

2. Foregut fermentation in birds
   A foregut-fermenting bird was long considered a paradox. But what about the hoatzin, a curious South American bird known locally as the "stinking pheasant" thanks to its smell of fresh cow manure?

3. Mitochondrial genome convergences
   Most likely, mitochondria have a single evolutionary origin, but that doesn't mean they are immune to convergence...

4. Mushrooms and their relatives (Basidiomycota)
   Mushrooms are not only tasty, but also provide numerous examples of evolutionary convergence...

5. Venom and venom fangs in snakes, lizards and synapsids
   Although the evolution of snake fangs itself provides us with a window on convergence, the presence of fang-like teeth in lizards, therapsids and mammals provides an even broader and more remarkable perspective.

6. Camera eyes in cubozoan jellyfish
   On each of the four club-like extensions (rhopalia) near the base of the cubozoan jellyfish bell there are two camera-eyes, one pointing upwards and the other downwards.

7. Sleep in animals
   Suffering from insomnia? Fruit flies do as well...

8. Beetles: insights into convergence
   The beetles are probably the most diverse animal group on earth, so it is not at all surprising that they provide many fascinating insights into convergence.

9. Frogs with fangs
   Teeth have clearly evolved a number of times, and one of the more interesting curiosities is found in the amphibians, notably in the frogs where several groups have independently evolved fangs.

10. Camera eyes of cephalopods
    The remarkable similarity between the camera eyes of cephalopods and vertebrates is one of the best-known examples of evolutionary convergence.

11. Camera eyes in vertebrates, cephalopods and other animals
    Camera eyes are superb optical devices, so it is not surprising that they have evolved several times. But why, of all animals, in the brainless jellyfish? Or for that matter in a slow-moving snail?
