Diard's clouded leopard appears more derived with respects to saber-toothed craniodental features than the clouded leopard, indicating that the former may have gone farther than the latter in convergently evolving craniomandibular features traditionally considered characteristic of primitive saber-toothed felids. ❋ Unknown (2008)
In test objects, minimum drag is achieved when body length is approximately four to five times body width, and many fast swimmers have evolved these approximate proportions convergently. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Not only are they a great example of convergence, but one has to wonder why the frog design convergently became the "solution" to so many different "problems". ❋ Unknown (2008)
But Russell & Séguin knew that they would be accused of this, and they ended their discussion by wondering if they had been directed by bias, or if the humanoid shape really would crop up convergently, as do so many other body shapes. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
There are many cases where a single pollinator is responsible for pollinating many species of plants, for example long-tongued flies (Tabanidae and Nemestrinidae) are the exclusive pollinators of many genera of petaloid monocots as well as Pelargonium and Erica; a butterfly is the exclusive pollinator of a phylogenetically disparate group of red-flowered and autumn-flowering species; hopliine (monkey) beetle pollination has evolved convergently in many genera, etc. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Well, perhaps not, as some workers have expressed scepticism, stating for example that the identification of Old World peccaries as peccaries proper is ‘not based on synapomorphy’ (Wright 1998, p. 389), the implication therefore being that these taxa might be suids that are convergently peccary-like in a few features. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
I guess aardvarks show that the character can be evolved convergently, but are there profound structural differences between those of suids and tayassuids, or fossil evidence of early suoids without disks? ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
The old SpikeTV. com, because it could be sold convergently with the network, had access to a lot of high CPM sponsorships, custom integrations, tie-ins with our tent-poles like the VGAs [Video Game Awards]. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Is the long muzzle and large size primitive for this clade, or have these features evolved convergently two or even three times? ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
* Pengana robertbolesi, a Riversleigh raptor named by Boles (after his father), is yet another raptor that convergently evolved a hyper-mobile tarsal joint like that of Polyboroides (Boles 1993). ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
When the authors conclude that the sodium channel genes in the two different lineages convergently evolved, they do not mean they have found evidence for evolution; rather, they mean that given the assumption that evolution is true, then certain convergences must have occurred in the sodium channel genes. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Nonetheless, the Zakon paper authoritatively states that “Two groups of teleosts, the mormyriforms of Africa and the gymnotiforms of South America, have convergently evolved electric organs.” And the paper concludes that certain evolutionary convergences occurred in the sodium channel genes. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Two groups of teleosts, the mormyriforms of Africa and the gymnotiforms of South America, have convergently evolved electric organs EOs whose weak electrical emissions function as communication signals and for electrolocation. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Although the conference is not named in the article, it is likely that it was the Research and Progress in Intelligent Design Conference, held at Biola University in October 2002, at which Meyer spoke on “The Cambrian information explosion: Evidence of intelligent design” and Sternberg spoke on “Causal entailments in convergently developed, irreducibly complex organ systems.” ❋ Unknown (2005)
On this side, in this life, the relevancy of things points not in the slightest towards the immortality of our egotisms, but convergently and overpoweringly to the future of our race, to that spacious future, of which these weak, ambitious ❋ Unknown (1906)
A fact that had never been stated, never formulated, never in any way admitted, was suddenly pointed to convergently by a thousand indicating fingers, and beyond question perceived to be THERE .... ❋ Unknown (1906)
It is the essential form of the State, and the only function in which peoples can employ all their powers at once and convergently. ❋ William James (1876)
