The 149 pages that link to Convergent evolution, each with the reason it gives.

• DrepanosauromorphaRelated: Climbing adaptations in drepanosauromorphs resemble features that evolved separately in other tree-dwelling animals.

• EntelodontidaeRelated: Pig-like features can reflect shared ecological pressures rather than close kinship.

• Evolution of molluscsRelated: Similar shells, body shapes, and lifestyles sometimes arose independently among molluscs.

• Evolutionary history of plantsRelated: Similar plant forms and adaptations sometimes evolved independently rather than through close ancestry.

• Flying and gliding animalsRelated: Powered flight and gliding structures arose repeatedly rather than from one flying ancestor.

• Giant otter shrewRelated: Its streamlined, water-oriented form resembles that of other aquatic mammals without close ancestry.

• Glass knifefishRelated: Weak electric sensing evolved independently in several fish lineages.

• LongisquamaRelated: A feather-like appearance would not by itself establish shared ancestry with birds.

• MicrosauriaRelated: Similar small-bodied forms can complicate comparisons among early tetrapods.

• OdobenocetopsRelated: Its walrus-like form resembles that of pinnipeds despite its cetacean ancestry.

• Old World orioleRelated: Similar names and appearances do not imply close ancestry between the two oriole groups.

• Organism formRelated: It explains why distantly related organisms can acquire similar forms.

• PedetesRelated: Springhares and kangaroos acquired similar hopping forms through separate evolutionary histories.

• PhylliidaeRelated: Leaf-like forms raise questions about how often such camouflage evolved among insects.

• PlatypterygiusRelated: Its streamlined shape resembles fish and dolphins despite its reptile ancestry.

• PlotopteridaeRelated: Plotopterids evolved a diving form resembling penguins despite their distant relationship.

• PresbyornisRelated: Its wader-like form resembles shorebirds despite its waterfowl relationships.

• SengiRelated: It explains why sengis and true shrews acquired similar small, long-snouted forms.

• SharovipteryxRelated: Its gliding structures invite comparisons with unrelated aerial or gliding animals.

• TaeniodontaRelated: Digging traits can evolve repeatedly, complicating ecological and evolutionary comparisons.

• ThylacocephalaRelated: Similarities to other arthropods may reflect function rather than close ancestry.
