This feature indicates a possible evolutionary convergence where this plant species and animal species derived similar mechanisms to utilize fat reserves for energy consumption.
This is the political equivalent of evolutionary convergence.
That is, characteristics do not hold to evolutionary convergence, and do not have analogous structures.
Being a mekosuchine, Trilophosuchus was not closely related to any of these forms and likely acquired a short snout and small body through evolutionary convergence.
According to this view, the expanded ribs and similar vertebral columns of Eunotosaurus and turtles are a case of evolutionary convergence.
Life has arisen on every planet where it can exist, but intellect only in those species which, however different their origins, have shown evolutionary convergence.
However, the similar external morphology of these two taxa could be interpreted as an evolutionary convergence, as they occupy the same ecological niche.
What has yoked them into morphological similitude is a powerful and boundlessly enticing process called evolutionary convergence.
The botos are a paraphyletic group, defined largely by their evolutionary convergences.
In the biological world there are many instances in which the same adaptation has evolved separately and independently, a phenomenon known as evolutionary convergence.
