1. Vibrational communication in insects and spiders
   Some spiders have evolved a most remarkable method of capturing other spiders – they imitate the vibrations of insects caught in their victim’s web. And this is only one of numerous intriguing examples of vibrational communication in arthropods…

2. Agriculture in wood wasps
   The most famous hymenopteran farmers are, without doubt, the attine ants. Rightly so, but they are not the only ones...

3. Agriculture in gall midges (Diptera)
   Flies, fungi, farming - sounds interesting? Read on if you want to learn about some rather different gall midges...

4. Agriculture in beetles
   Think of weevils and most likely you'll think of spoiled food. But some weevils have turned to farming...

5. Agriculture in damselfish
   Don’t be tempted to think human agriculture is unique. On many coral rocks, there are very similar things going on…

6. Malodorous flowering plants
   Several groups of angiosperms have flower structures that produce foul odours to attract pollinating insects. This strategy is convergent, being found in species as distantly related as the 'Titan arum' Amorphophallus titanium (a monocot) and the 'Corpse flower' Rafflesia (a eudicot).

7. Mimicry in fungi
   Insects pollinating flowers are a familiar sight. But what happens when the "flower" is actually a fungus? Still "pollination", but now it is fungal spores. Read on to learn more about the fungi that mimic flowers...

8. Explosive discharge in fungi and plants
   The very rapid release of reproductive bodies is perhaps most famous in the fungi, where several methods of flinging spores at high velocity have evolved independently.

9. Collagen in animals and bacteria
   n-a

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

11. Ascomycete fungi: insights into convergence
    Today ascomycetes are an extremely important group of fungi, and they take their name from the reproductive structures known as ascii.

12. Agriculture: from ants to dugongs
    Human farmers tending their fields are a familiar sight. But don't forget about those fungus-farming termites or the fish with a garden of algae…

13. 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.
